Since its very beginning, Pixar has created some of the most beloved characters of all time. Woody and Buzz. WALL-E. Nemo and Dory. The list goes on and on. However, there are a lot of amazing characters that don't quite get the love they deserve. Fans online are definitely trying to change that by sharing some incredible details about these sidekicks, villains, and bit players. For example, in Finding Nemo, while the eponymous hero is trapped in a fish tank, he meets Deb, who has conversations with her "sister" (her reflection), named Flo. Together, rather cleverly, their names sound like "ebb and flow." If you want to visit Luigi at his native home, he actually provides directions without even having to ask. His license plate number is the coordinates to the Ferrari factory in Modena, Italy. Sometimes these characters even pop up in more than one movie. In Ratatouille, Alfredo rollerskates past a mime on the sidewalk. Look closely and you'll notice that he is none other than Bomb Voyage from The Incredibles.

Check out this list of small details fans noticed about underrated Pixar characters, and don't forget to vote up your favorites!
