Cars (2006)

2 easter eggs

★★★★★

Starring: Owen Wilson, Paul Newman, Bonnie Hunt, Larry the Cable Guy

Genres: Animated, Comedy, Family, Pixar, Sport

Easter egg: In the normal DVD version of Cars, be in main menu and have 'set up' highlighted. Watch the bottom right hand corner. When the logo for Dinoco appears push right and select it. A short part of the animated short 'Bounding' will appear, except that Mater and Lightning are used instead.

Easter egg: On the original "Cars" DVD, let the menu animation run twice. On the second time a Dinoco logo will appear for a few seconds. Quickly get to it and press select or enter. You will be greeted with a modified version of Boundin', used to test the animation for Cars.

Mistakes

Other mistake: The monitor from inside Mack's trailer displays his whole face while talking to McQueen. There is no camera outside of Mack that can display him in that fashion.

Suggested correction: The camera in the trailer may be a TV video instead of a camera.

No, McQueen is talking live with Mack through this monitor.

Questions

Question: Can someone explain the mechanics (and physics) of how Doc's advice to "Turn right to go left" helps with McQueen's drifting?

Answer: Instead of sliding on all four tires, he's only sliding on the back two. The front two tires are turned to align with the direction of travel, allowing the car to maintain greater control of the drift. The slow-motion scene when McQueen first accomplishes this shows what's happening.
