The outside shots of the antique store and carnival in Toy Story 4 (2019) are a direct inversion of the Overlook Hotel shots. Notice the same location in front of a mountain range covered with pine trees as the presence of an entertainment structure in front of it. The roles of these two spaces are inverted in both movies. In Shining (1980), the hotel is the transient space that welcomes visitors for a limited time, while the labyrinth is the trap of sorts. In Toy Story 4 (2019), the carnival is clearly seasonal, while the Antique store is a permanent business that might trap the toys forever.
