Part of the fun with Pixar movies are its Easter eggs.
-
But if you've been looking carefully, you may have noticed the studio's films are
-
chock-full of Apple references, which is likely a nod to Pixar's former owner and CEO Steve Jobs
-
and the success he brought the company.
-
Here are 5 blatant Apple references in Pixar films.
-
1.
-
Monsters, Inc.
-
When Mike Wazowski holds up a magazine, you can make out an advertisement for a computer on the back cover.
-
The ad's slogan says “Scare Different,” a spin on Apple's iconic “Think Different”slogan.
-
2.
-
-Wall-E -“Wall-E.”
-
Director Andrew Stanton told CNN Money in 2008 that he worked with Apple designer Jony Ive
-
to make Eve look like an Apple product.
-
And that she does.
-
”Eve?”
-
[Giggles]
-
3. Coco.
-
When Mama Imelda tries to find out why she
-
can't leave the Land of the Dead to see her family, the clerk looks her up on what
-
appears to be a Macintosh 128K, Apple's first personal computer.
-
“That devil box tells you nothing but lies!”
-
4. Cars.
-
One of the cars featured in the film is an
-
Apple-sponsored racer named Mac iCar.
-
This is less of a reference to Apple than it is Pixar literally screaming,
-
“HEY, DID YOU KNOW WE HAVE A CONNECTION TO APPLE?”
-
Mac iCar's racing number is also 84, the same year Apple released the Macintosh 128K.
-
“Macintosh, from Apple.”
-
5. Toy Story 3
-
“Who's Velocistar237?”
-
“Oh!”
-
Again, this one's pretty obvious.
-
If you take one look at the computer the toys used to look for Andy,
-
you'll realize it's a Mac from the desktop's familiar-looking OS and monitor shape.
-
“That's nothing, let me just take care of that.
-
It's just a dinosaur.”
-
“All right.”
-
From the not-so-subtle to the totally-in-your face, the Apple references that Pixar peppers
-
throughout your favorite flicks can make for an Easter egg gold mine.
-
It's a musical!
-
Put that thing back where it came from or so help me!
-
So help me!
-
So help me!
-
And cut!
