Hundreds of stuffed animals were left strewn across a motorway, causing delays to drivers and drawing comparisons to Toy Story.
The mystery spillage, which saw around 300 cuddly toys, including a Winne the Pooh bear, a Minion and several My Little Ponies, left transport officials in Oregon, US, scratching their heads.
The blockage occurred around 10.30am on Wednesday, resulting in a back up of vehicles on the interstate near the Burnside Bridge.
Oregon Department of Transportation compared the incident to the Disney Pixar film series, joking the toys "may have been on their way to Pizza Planet".
Don Hamilton, DOT spokesperson, said one lane was closed to the cartoon creatures, but said most of them were already to the side of the road.
“It’s not often we get several hundred stuffed animals visiting our highways,” he added.
It was not immediately clear where the toys came from.
Hamilton clarified they had, however, been taken to the North Portland maintenance yard "for care and feeding".
In a tweet, Oregon DOT said: "This Toy Story was found on SB I-5 at Burnside Bridge.
"We think they may have been on their way to Pizza Planet, but we're not exactly sure how they got there.
"Crews have taken them to our north Portland maintenance yard for care, cuddles and feeding."
Anyone missing approximately 300 colourful stuffed animals were encouraged to contact the department.
Twitter users were keen to get in on the joke, with one replying: "Be sure to check under any traffic cones!"
He was referring to the scene in Toy Story 2 in which some of Andy's toys hide under traffic cones as they cross a busy road on their way to rescuing Buzz Lightyear.
Another said: "Some poor kid got to the find out stage of fooling around in the back seat whilst mom was trying to drive."
A third hypothesised the toys "probably fell off a truck that was for a vending machine" and suggested they be donated to a local children's hospital.
It comes days after police in the UK were alerted to a tiger on the loose, only to find it was a stuffed toy.
GMP Oldham Police posted a photo on Facebook of the oversized cuddly toy - which they named Tony the Tiger - laying in some grass.
They explained a concerned member of the public had called 999 after spotting what they thought was a live wild predator prowling around a garden area.
The page's administrator joked that officers at the scene asked Tony for a comment and he said: "They're grrrrrrrreat!"
