[QUOTE="Tarrasque Wrangler, post: 1842832, member: 7473"] I really love these Pixar movies for all the little touches they throw in. Things like: 1. The local names. I heard San Pablo Avenue in there at the beginning (a major street that runs through several adjacent cities in the Bay Area), and the computer map in Mr. Icredible's car in the same scene looked like a map of Emeryville (where the Pixar campus is, natch). I heard (have to go back and see for myself) that the school logo in the last scene was the Spartans, with a logo similar to San Jose State's, which many Pixar employees went to. 2. Frozone uses Hai Karate! What a perfect touch. Samuel L. Jackson himself seems like the kind of guy who has got a crate of the stuff secreted away somewhere. 3. The Parr house had that great 50's-hip, Eichler look to it. Didn't that just look like someplace superheros would live? Somebody at Pixar had to design that whole thing and it was just flawless. 4. The chase through the jungle had some bits that were shot-for-shot identical to the ROTJ speeder bike chase. Brad Bird just keeps knockin' em out the box. Let's hope this one does better at the box office than Iron Giant did (which I somehow think it will). [/QUOTE]
