So my wife buys my 3 year old a new Cars2 Car (Rod Torque Redline).

For those of you who don't have kids this is a very popular sequel to a kids movie featuring talking automobiles.

So I'm checking out the car and I read the license plate on the toy and it says "M1911A1" I was like

Stock Pic of toy car with license plate



I thought it was worth sharing.

Neat. Wonder if the car in the movie will have that plate too, or if it was just some Chinese factory worker guy who surfed arfcom

Wonder who pulled that prank?

Surly...Disney....wouldn't....put that there.  The chicoms that made it?  A gun nut company buyer specifying the details to the chicoms?

But, regardless - cool!

I don't know but my kid has Toy Story 1 on DVD as well and in that movie the bad kid Sid has a silloutte pistol target hanging on the door of his bedroom so I'm thinking there's gun guy somewhere at Pixar...

Pixar controls every single aspect and detail of the licensed products out there on the market.  If it's on a licensed product, Pixar put it there.

The state of Utah approves.  The 1911 is Utah's official state gun.

The gun the car is packing.  It pops out of his drivers side wheel early in the vid.

Every last detail of a licensed product like that is controlled - no Chinese worker can "decide" to alter the license plate. There has to be a gun guy at Pixar.

In fact, I think Cars originally came about because a Pixar big shot was a pretty big car guy and pushed hard for it. Same dude might also be a firearms enthusiast.

Is the Rod Redline character depicted as a GOO GUY or a BAD GUY in the movie?

Good guy or bad guy, i would bet there's a gun enthusiast involved somewhere in the creative process.

IIRC, he's an American spy, so I don't think he's a bad guy.

Also go full screen with 1080p and you can see the plate does say m1911a1.

Best Cars character ever!

In the movies, I always played the heroic types. But when the stage lights went out, it was time for drugs, and stupidity, and the coveting of women. Now it's time. Time to be a little of what I had always fantasized of bein' - a hero.

Part of the wheel.  The center hub and one of the spokes pokes out, spins around and then 're-holsters' itself.
