Author Topic: Pixar's "Cars" homage to Tex Avery Aaron Haney Master Film Handler Posts: 265 From: Cupertino, CA, USA Registered: Jan 2001 posted 11-05-2004 02:52 AM                     Did the new teaser for Pixar's "Cars" (now available on the web) remind anyone else of the 1952 cartoon "One Cab's Family" directed by Tex Avery? I'm sure a lot of the collectors here have it on Laserdisc. Here's the IMDb link for it: http://imdb.com/title/tt0044996 The comments say Avery's cartoon is a remake of an older Friz Freeling cartoon. I would imagine the makers of "Cars" probably sat down at some point and watched both shorts.  |  IP: Logged Steve Scott Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1300 From: Minneapolis, MN Registered: Sep 2000 posted 11-06-2004 09:37 AM                     I wonder what the 35mm availablility of that cartoon is? It might show some respect to nostalgia if you programed that with the feature... when it's finally released in late 05.  |  IP: Logged John Hawkinson Film God Posts: 2273 From: Cambridge, MA, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 11-06-2004 02:14 PM                     Of course Cars will come with a short of its own... --jhawk  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 11-07-2004 12:51 AM                       Heh-heh-heh... I have a 35mm print of that cartoon, in IB Tech!  |  IP: Logged
