All of the Pixar Soul Easter Eggs

Soul brings us lots of great easter eggs from Pixar. Here are all the ones I found.

When Joe walks through the city after getting the gig with Dorthea Williams he passes a coffee shop called the Daily Grind that was established in 1995, this is the same year that the first Pixar film, Toy Story, was released. Soul 1995 easter egg

When Joe speaks to the three other souls on the conveyor one of them speaks Inuktitut, the language of the Inuit people. She mentions, “This beats my dream about the walrus.” This is a wonderful bit of Inuit mythology about the afterlife.

A fundamental tenet of Inuit mythology is the belief in other worlds beneath the sea, inside the Earth and in the sky where some gifted angakoks (shamans) have the power to journey in trances and in dreams, visiting places that ordinary mortals would only experience in the afterlife. – Canadian Encyclopedia.

When Joe lands in the Great Before (You Seminar, rebranding) the personality buildings are shaped like different items from other films like The Good Dinosaur, the sea anemone from Finding Nemo, the Excitable Pavilion is like the plants from Avatar.
