We hear a crowd yelling "EWWWWWWWWW!" and groaning in disgust and faints as Remy gives an ashamed look and scampers off. The DVD commentary reveals that they did this because they were making fun of DreamWorks Animation and Enterprise Films' constant use of fart jokes, and the disgusted audience is meant to represent the Pixar studio themselves.
