OK heres the deal on the ball. The very first film pixar created was lamp playing with the ball (thus the intro of pixars, lamp and ball routine) it eventually ended on top of the ball and flatened it. So thats it, as for the rugrats resemblance, rugrats is made by klasky csupo. Which makes cartoons like rugrats (duh) duckman (an adult cartoon about a private I duck) ahh real monsters and such. It's the first non-disney animation company to break the 100 million box office mark for there rugrats movies. So theres no connection between the two.

The ball is a common one that can actually be bought at most toy stores I even had one as a child, so I wouldn't be surprised if the Rugrats had the same one, but I think it was purely coincidental. In movie Monsters Inc.(obviously this is a Pixar film) it can be found again. Check it out.

I was once watching Winnie the Pooh and Chris Robbin was putting all his toys under the bed. The last thing he put under his bed was this same exact ball.

The Indiana Jones music appears when the globe has been knocked off it's stand by the falling notice board, and is rolling towards Buzz, and the lamp animation was called "Luxor Jr".
