Kicking myself for not using a synonym for “shows”. :)

Have a good holiday, everyone.

There is a Cars video podcast available on iTunes that shows some video footage of the car show. At about 2:25 the show a basketball court filled with “20 MINIs”. Prior to that, there is a very quick glimpse of a Classic Mini.

If this link works, it will take you directly to the video podcast on iTunes. Otherwise, it the episode titled “Meet Pixar’s Gearheads”.

I hope they have put some MINIs in the Cars movie.

I haven’t seen any MINIs in any of the “Cars” promos, so I don’t hold much hope, unless it’s a drive-past quickie. Much of the film production was in progress before the 2002 roll-out, but if Pixar has so many MINI owners, mebbe they inked one in the finished product.

All the pieces I have seen from “Cars” are absent of MINIs and Minis. The poster with what looks like every car in the film is woefully MINI-less. Oh well, maybe one of the MINI owners at Pixar could draw (or render) one up for us? a DS/W MCS would look really cool… Pretty please? :)

and he doesn’t have bonnet stripes. ;)

im in disneyworld right now and there is merchandise (as you can imagine) for all of the cars in the movie. it’s quite amazing how many cars there are, however there aren’t any minis. fiats? yes. low riders? yes. a “tuner” car with five wings….? yes. unfortunately no minis. the good news is it looks like it’s going to be a good movie.

It still wouldn’t be a bad idea to organize some local mini meets to go see the movie, like the italian job.

I believe that I saw a Classic Mini in one of the comercials. When the Low Rider lifts itself up the Mini next to him says “Show Off”

That was an old Fiat actually.

Just as an update: iTunes has a video on the “gearheads” at pixar and features the car show. They mention and show the 20 or so MINIs, about 4/5ths through the video. http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=152605772&s=143441&i=5294963 or search for Meet Pixar’s Gear Heads
