>Forget VW, Here’s the REAL Apple iCar; Call him ‘Mac’
It’s real! There is an official Apple iCar! I’ve seen it, we’ve all seen it since March 2006. His name is MAC iCAR, and he has the unique distinction of being the only ‘real world’ trademark in the Disney/Pixar motion picture, Cars.
It’s MAC iCAR, the unsung Apple trademarked hero of the film!
While sharp-eyed individuals may have spotted him in theaters and on DVD during the time-passing montage of the first race in the film, the new Blu-Ray high definition release gives us more information about this witty racer.
Highlighted from his fifteen seconds of fame in the only shot which he appears in the film, MAC iCAR keeps the pace…
Thanks to a new ‘Car Finder Game’ feature of the Blu-Ray disc, we can now learn more about this innovative racer. (However, it doesn’t seem to mention the historical significance to his number… ‘84′… gee, I wonder what that’s supposed to signify.)
Also revealed on the new Blu-Ray disc is the iCar’s accessory, the iTrailer! (It’s a nice touch to expand a little on this cute guy’s product line!)
When I first noticed Mr. iCar at the theater I was filled with the backstory hilarity of the situation. Pixar went out of their way to make sure that there is NO product placement in their film, yet we have the iCAR. I really loved the nod, it was the closest nod since the back cover of the magazine at the end of Monsters Inc.; “Scare Different”.
With all of the recent talk about how Apple engineers are developing a new iCar, it’s necessary to appreciate the original ‘MAC’ today!
