Mr. Potato Head shouted to “toss ‘em overboard” before a hob of toys hurled Woody out of the moving truck and onto the road.

The iconic scene from the Disney classic “Toy Story” has lived on in people’s hearts for more than 25 years after it came out. But recently Oregon officials found a similar scene in real life.

Officials found toys scattered across an interstate in Oregon, the Oregon Department of Transportation said on Twitter on Wednesday, March 30. The colorful bunch of plush stuffed animals were found on Interstate-5 at Burnside Bridge, officials said.

Photos show the discarded crew included a Minion, Eeyore, Stitch, Mickey and more than a dozen other favorite characters.

People were quick to draw parallels from the real-life scene and “Toy Story.”

“Does anyone have Andy’s number?” Oregon officials said, referring to the owner of the toys in the movie.

Officials also said they think the group may have been on its way to Pizza Planet.

“We think they may have been on their way to Pizza Planet, but we’re not exactly sure how they got there,” Oregon DOT said. “Crews have taken them to our north #Portland maintenance yard for care, cuddles and feeding.”

Here’s what other people had to say about the scene.
