Did you know that all Pixar films include a list of Production Babies in the credits? I didn’t either, until Nancy Friedman filled me in. (Thanks, Nancy!)
According to The Globe and Mail, Production Babies are those born to anyone at Pixar “in the year before [a] film comes out.” For instance, Wall-E (2008) includes a list of 58 babies:
| Alexander & William, Amelie, Asher, Atlee, Ava, Avery, Berge, Cohen, Cora, Dillan, Dylan, Ellen, Emma-Brie, Emma Jane, Emma June, Esha, Evija, Flora, Friederich, Giorgia, Hailey, Harper & Griffin, Jack, Jackson & Parker, Jenna, Jonathan, Katie, Kayla, Keilani, Leila, Liam, Logan, Luca, Lucie, Maeve, Maya, Nasreen, Noah, Parisa, Peter, Phoenix, Reina, Sadie, Sequoia, Tais, Tessa, Tobian & Ellarudy, Tomas, Victoria, Violet, Violet Grace, Vivien, Vouk, Zumi |
And here are some Production Babies from years past…
- Bosco, Ciana, Elledale, Lotus, Zuhan – Ratatouille (2007)
- Finnegan, Lola-Renee, Milosh, Royal, Zazie – The Incredibles (2004)
- Dorri, Hanako, Oona, Tallulah, Yonatan – Finding Nemo (2003)
Have you spotted any interesting Production Baby names in the credits of other Pixar films (e.g. Toy Story, Cars, Monsters, Inc.)?

Thanks for the link, Nancy! By the way, “Yonatan” is simply the Hebrew transliteration and pronunciation of “Jonathan.” Definitely not an uncommon name in Israel!
