At the very end of the end credits, it said “Created and Produced at Pixar Animation Studios Emeryville, California…And in homes at least six feet away from each other throughout the bay area” referencing the animators that worked at home due to the pandemic.

On the subway is 2319, which is a nod to Monsters Inc (a red alert code when a monster is in contact with an object from the human world).
