Which pair of movies?

Thanks for the fanmail, Philip from Texas <3 Means a lot.

A good luck charm could be a stuffed animal or a pair of socks but for Pixar it used to be John Ratzenberger. 

John Dezso Ratzenberger (born April 6, 1947) has appeared in almost every Pixar film. From Hamm in Toy Story to Construction Worker Fennwick in Onward. His favorite character to voice was P.T. Flea in a Bug's Life. He  is an American actor, voice actor, and entrepreneur who has appeared in 21 Pixar films, the most of any other voice actor. It was said that he was a good luck charm for Pixar. He did not voice any characters in the film Soul or Luca either. Ratzenberger is a team member of the Pixar Softball Team. He even hosted the documentary film Pixar: 20 Years of Animation and Counting. Ratzenberger is best known for playing Cliff Clavin on the TV show Cheers. He will also not be voicing a character in Turning Red.  Which leaves me to believe Pixar/Disney is moving away from their so-called good luck charm. As the years have gone by his animated characters are getting less screen time and he is getting less lines to say. As a fan of Pixar and Ratzenberger this is a sad thing to hear. The fun thing about Pixar movies are the Easter eggs and finding John Ratzenberger in the movie. Pixar's most notable traditions other than Ratzenberger are the appearance of the Pizza Planet truck, references to other Pixar movies past and present and “A113” hidden somewhere, and the  Easter egg teasing Pixar's next movie.

My favorite Ratzenberger quote from Monsters, Inc

“Adorable Snowman: "Snow cone?"

Mike: "Yuck."

Abominable Snowman: "No, no, no, don't worry. It's lemon."”

Another favorite quote of his from Toy Story 2

 Hamm: "All right. Let's review this one more time. At precisely 8:32-ish, Exhibit 'A,' Woody, was kidnapped. Exhibit 'B,' a composite sketch of the kidnapper."

Bo Peep: "He didn't have a beard like that."

Hamm: "Fine. Etch, give him a shave."

Slinky Dog: "The kidnapper was bigger than that."

Hamm: "Oh, picky, picky, picky."

Mr. Potato Head: "Let's just go straight to Exhibit 'F.' The kidnapper's vehicle. Now, the vehicle fled the scene in this direction."

Hamm: "Your eyes are in backwards. It went the other way. "

Potato Head: "Hey, put a cork in it."

Rex: "How do you spell 'FBI'?" (destroys the "crime scene")

Potato Head: "My crime scene!"

Hamm: "Oh, why don't you watch where you're going, 'Godspilla'?"

Rex: "I didn't know there was a crime scene."
