The Shining is certainly not a kid-friendly movie…heck it’s not even for some adults. It does happen to be one of Lee Unkrich’s favorites though, and this is why you will see several references to the cult horror classic in his Pixar movies. One of the most iconic scenes in The Shining is Danny cycling through the Overlook Hotel.
The psychedelic carpet in the hotel makes an appearance in Toy Story (1995) as well. Look closely when Woody and Buzz are trying to escape from toy-torturer Sid’s home. The carpet upstairs is practically the same!
