All Pixar movies are from the same universe. I read that somewhere, dude researched the hell out of it too.

How can that be?  In Cars there are very clearly no people or animals.

Who builds the cars?

Do the cars reproduce on their own? :grr:

They do have romantic entanglements.

They are sentients, they build themselves. The AI of Wall-E is the precursor.

I want to know if there's a talking B-29.

A WWII F4U Corsair was a major supporting character (voiced by Stacey Keach).

So the movie explicitly states that in the world of Cars there was a WWII.  So does that mean there was an automotive Hitler? :huh:

2 Guns-
Reminded me of something Tony Scott would have made.
Enjoyable time killer with Eddie James Olmos and Bill Paxton as the heavies to Denzel and Marky Mark's heroes.

I dunno.  Hiring Tony Scott probably would have made the movie less lifeless.

From Planes, there is one scene where a Mexican plane and a French-Canadian plane finally 'hook up', and the Mexican plane is shown covered in lipstick marks.

But on the other hand, one of the 'themes' of the movie is that the hero, Dusty Crophopper, can be more than just what he was built to be (in his case, a racer instead of a crop duster).

The cosmology of the Cars/Planes universe is more than a little muddled.
Posts here are my own private opinions.  I do not speak for my employer.

If mommy plane and daddy plane love each other very much, they go and buy a model kit.

At 8, my parents gave me a book about sex that said imagine your parents naked. I'm now a homosexual. -_-

Surprised it didn't make you completely celibate and asexual.

Remember Sledge Hammer? That was a great show.

Been watching The Critic. Another good one.

TLC and Discovery CHannel are increasingly crap.
PDH!
