<title>10 Whimsical Facts About Pixar's Cars</title>

<![CDATA[<p>My kids love "Cars".  They would watch it five times a day if I let them, but as I am trying to be a good parent and limit TV watching, we compromised and they only watch it twice a day - every day.  It's been more than a month now, and they're still not tired of it.</p>
<p>So it was inevitable that one day, I just had to wonder how old Sally must be if she talks about missing the Route 66 that existed "forty years ago", and just what the HTB stickers on Chick Hicks stood for.</p>
<p>And as I tried to find out, here are other Cars trivia I came across:</p>
<ol>
<li>Lightning McQueen's number 95 stands for the year Pixar released Toy Story.<br /><br /></li>
<li>Chick Hick's sponsor, HTB, stands for "Hostile Takeover Bank".<br /><br /></li>
<li>The real name of The King, Dinoco's Golden Boy, is Strip Weathers. His design is based on the Plymouth Superbird, a car produced only in 1970.<br /><br /></li>
<li>In Sally's story to McQueen when she first showed him Wheel Well Motel, she recounts how Radiator Springs looked so different 40 years ago.  That leads us to believe that she had been there at least that long.  Sally's car model, however, is based on a 2002 model of the Porsche 996, three years old at the time Cars was released.<br /><br /></li>
<li>Doc Hudson moved to Radiator Springs after his great crash in 1954, more than 50 years earlier.  He met Sally in Radiator Springs when she ran away from her fast-track California life, which must have been more than 40 years ago.<br /><br /></li>
<li>Route 66 is a real-life road now called Historic Route 66, colloquially known as the "Mother Road" or the "Main Street of America", and runs from Chicago, through Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and ends at Los Angeles, California.<br /><br /></li>
<li>The song Route 66 has two versions in the movie - one by Chuck Berry, and another by John Mayer for the film's credits. From the day it was first recorded by Nat King Cole, the song has had more than 60 versions from different artists, including Natalie Cole, The Rolling Stones, Perry Como, Bob Dylan, and Bing Crosby.<br /><br /></li>
<li>The voice of The Sheriff is played by Michael Wallis, who also happens to be the writer of the book "Route 66: The Mother Road".<br /><br /></li>
<li>Fillmore's character was based on Bob Waldmire, a Route 66 artist and vegan who owns a VW microbus that looks very much like Fillmore.<br /><br /></li>
<li>If you look at the U-Drop Inn in Shamrock, Texas, you'll swear you were looking at Ramone's body-art shop.</li>

<title>The Way of the Geek: The Bee Movie</title>
<link>http://www.cinemaroll.com/Animation/The-Way-of-the-Geek-The-Bee-Movie.46801</link>

<![CDATA[<p>Now, just a few moments ago, I saw the trailer for the new bee movie, coming out soon. My little babysitting job, That i train to be a geek as well, has proudly presented me 
<a target="_blank" href="http://www.gaiaonline.com">Gaia Online</a>, an interactive site where the user can check out what they like, talk in forums, or do something like that. Well, as far as my understanding goes, the company has always the newest kind of stuff that is available for children. So, the little geek showed me the trailer to The bee movie, with Renee Zellweger, and some dude named Jerry Seinfeld. Well, it turned out that the movie was the full package of American goodness. A little male bee finishes bee college, and makes friends with humans, only to see that their honey is commercially sold. Well, He is a bee, and he is about to do something against it. </p>
 
 <p>So, the only problem was, that I was lying laughing on the floor, because my feet hurt, and I spent over 5 minutes in serious laughing. Why? Well, I showed my little babysitting job how bees really work, and which differences there are between what Disney force feeds us, and what is real. </p>
 
<ol><li>There are no male bees. They are drones. They do not work, their only purpose is to have sex with the queen, a very fat bee, and after that, they are basically just dead weight around the hive. In winter, when there are too little supplies, the male bees get guided to the rim of the hive, and the females bite their necks.
</li><li> A bee cannot sting multiple times. If their Stinger gets caught into something, it basically is over for the bee, because the stinger is ripped out of their body, and they are left bleeding to death. 
</li><li> Now, basically, the film deals with the overcoming diversity theme, and with the basic ideal that everybody would be better off if they were ruled by women. Ooh, and with environmental protection, and anti capitalism. </li></ol>

 <p>I took the little geek aside, and talked to him about all of that. I even talked to him about what kind of stuff was going on at Pixar, and how lazy they must have been to animate in such a poor quality. </p>
 <p>He understood. </p>
 
 <p>Now, this post has basically two sides. </p>
 <p>One, Disney and Pixar change the reality more often them a women her clothing in a year. </p>
 <p>Second, for the love of whoever is responsible for you, please explain to your children how reality is, and do not let some movies be their teacher. </p>
 <p>Third, download this movie, share it with as many people as possible, and make Pixar loose a few millions. Oh, and please:</p>
 <p>If you happen to own a Bee-hive, or know a bee-keeper, please, ask him to explain the fantastical world of the bees to you. Ask him about the live of the bee, what dangers bees face, and wossname. But, show him the movie, and ask him if he could write a few lines outlining the basic and more complicated mistakes of the film, and sent it to Pixar. </p>
 <p>It would certainly help me sleep better, and regain my piece of mind that the American public and the worldwide audience is concerned about what certain immoral Companies sell our children as the truth. </p>
 
 <p>Now, may god bless America, and may he give all the crap he has collected like smallpox, cancer, and such funny things like infertility and hair loss to these guys at Pixar. </p><a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cinemaroll.com%2FAnimation%2FThe-Way-of-the-Geek-The-Bee-Movie.46801"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cinemaroll.com%2FAnimation%2FThe-Way-of-the-Geek-The-Bee-Movie.46801" border="0"/></a>]]></description>
