Trivia: Just before the toys cross the road, the dog says "I may not be a smart dog but I know what road kill is." This is a reference to another Tom Hanks film, Forrest Gump, when Tom Hanks' character says "I may not be a smart man but I know what love is."

Trivia: Buster was originally planned to only be heard offscreen but never seen, as the production crew was iffy about whether they could render a realistically furred dog. Eventually, however, they decided they had to at least try, and while it ended up being one of the most time-consuming parts (they had to render each hair on Buster's body individually), the result was impressive enough for them to give Buster an active role in the film.

Answer: "Douitashimashite" is the Japanese word for You're welcome. Phonetically, it sounds like "Don't touch my mustache." It's how we were taught to say it while living in Japan in the military. If you say it fast enough, you can sound like you are pronouncing the word decently enough (although clearly not THAT accurately.)
