Step aside, Marvel — Pixar is the original king of the Easter egg.
Abuelita is based on co-director Adrian Molina's mother-in-law. While her personality and badass attitude surely added a lot to the character, he flew out his mother-in-law from Mexico City to get one specific part of the animation just right: her neck. The animators wanted to perfectly portray the way Abuelita's neck moves, especially when she was angry. This was difficult to do, with Molina saying that his abuelita was a woman that did not get angry easily.
“We went back through all of the outtakes for all of the films, all the shorts, all the video games, all the ice-capades shows, every possible thing, and there was a lot of Don Rickles. So I wouldn’t say it was easy, but there was a lot to work with. So I’m very, very, very honored that he’s in this film.” —Director Josh Cooley

While the creators of Soul may have found that 108 billion number during the early stages of production, the Population Reference Bureau (PRB) has since updated that statistic. PRB now believes that we were around the 107 billion–108 billion mark in the 1950s, and currently sit at 117 billion humans that have ever lived. Of course, this is constantly changing as we redefine when the "start" of humanity is. Oh, and all the babies that keep getting born!

Lightning McQueen may be a high-performance sports car, but he shakes much more violently off-road than Mater. This is especially noticeable when the pair are running away from Frank. McQueen's shakiness is because race cars have firm suspension made for a smooth track, while the average truck has softer suspension.
Fun fact: Most people misspell his name as "Doug," but it's actually just Dug!
It's easy to imagine a huge studio like Pixar having countless safeguards when it comes to saving their work. But technology does not discriminate; it frustrates everyone equally. When animators sat down to get started on Toy Story 4 (2019), they discovered that they were unable to access any 3D models from the original movie. Their software had advanced so much that the models were incompatible, and they had to start from scratch. So next time you lose all your work in a freak tech accident, remember that it happens to the best!
