Apple easter egg in Pixar's "Cars"

George Orwell wrote "1984" in 1948. and "1984" was the inspiration for Apple's 1984 "Introducing Macintosh" commercial. So 1948 should have rang a bell is a very faint distant way.

1948 doesn't remind me of anything.....but 1984 does...zing!


i kid, i kid.

yes-1984-the year the MAC was introduced. Can't ait to see the movie!!

@jona

does 1948 ring a bell to you? seems to remind me of a ground breaking commercial done by apple

I sort of think that "8" in "84" is more of an infinite loop than an 8!

I saw the easter egg when I went to see Cars over the weekend... great movie, btw. I don't know why the critics are panning it.

Ummmmm....what's the significance with the number 84?

That's a cute detail, but it isn't an easter egg.

Yes, also there is a scene where McQueen is looking for his mack truck - there is a trailer w/ the apple logo too.

I went to see this movie opening night and loved it! Pixar has done it again.

My friend has a cam-job torrent of the movie so I asked him to show it to me so that I could find the Apple logo car. I just found the sound quality really poor and the movie was very dark. The torrent just can't compare to the original movie by any stretch.

So run out and see the movie (and don't forget to stay though the entire closing credits. The bonus scene with John Ratzenberger is the funniest part of the entire movie)
