[edit] Continuity error? Really?
"In one episode, one of the character is seen ordering food from Pizza Planet, which appeared as an actual space-themed restaurant in Toy Story." This is listed under "Continuity Problems," the premise presumably being that since the cartoon is an actual cartoon in the Toy Story universe, it is problematic for the same restaurant to appear in both the cartoon and the "real" Toy Story universe. But is that actually an error? I haven't seen the episode, but it seems that there are two possibilities:
- The "Pizza Planet" in question is an actual planet which is known for exporting food such as pizza. There is no reason this would present a problem; in the Toy Story universe it would merely be a pop culture reference--the fictional kids are probably supposed to realize "Pizza Planet, like the restaurant!" and find it humorous.
- There exist actual Pizza Planet restaurants in the Buzz Lightyear of Star Command universe. Again, I fail to see how this is a problem. It would merely be a case of the (in-universe) writers putting something from their own world into the cartoon. Real televison writers do this, too; usually there are issues involved with one party paying the other, but that is beyond the scope of the cartoon itself.
I doubt that the writers actually had anything in mind beyond making a reference to the movies, but since there are such simple, realistic explanations possible, I have a hard time seeing it as an error; it's simply an unanswered question. --Andrusi 19:25, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
I don't think that's a continuity error either, though it is an interesting bit of trivia. Mister.Manticore 23:58, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
