•Geri's chess box reads "Point Richmond PIXAR SHORTS." This is because Pixar's old headquarters was originally located in Point Richmond.
•Geri appeared in Toy Story 2 as the Cleaner who fixed Woody. When the Cleaner opens one of the drawers in his case, his chess pieces can be seen, in reference to the short.
•After pretending to have a heart attack, Geri knocks down the chess box while spinning the board around. When the camera zooms out at the end of the short, if you look to the ground, the chess box is not there. This was discussed in Jan Pinkava's audio commentary for the short. When he was asked about this question, he simply replied, "We just forgot to put it in."
