"CARS" . . . if the HAMB was involved

We prolly oughtta get a HAMB gathering to converge on the Galaxy Drive-In in Ennis.

 

Dang, that's all impressive. Very cool that a hot rod guy got to do a movie on the subject. I'll have to own that movie & put it in rotation with On Any Sunday & Endless Summer for sure. And regardless of age, Bonnie Hunt is hot.

 

Very cool............thanks for posting the "podcast".........Just a sneaky question, did you put the words "HAMB" (or sneak) into the movie in the background of anything? I could see that happening.

If my car were in the movie it would be the "bad guy".

 

MrExcite-

I showed your HAMB characters to some of the artists-- They loved it!
Nice work!

Bad never looked so good!

 

This is a COOL thread.

Love the pics & the podcast videos.

I can't wait to see this at the theatres...even if my kids don't want to go.

My 5 year old daughter just watched those with me.

I don't know which of us is more excited to see this movie.

Good stuff.

 

you got one two year old here who's dad wants him to see it more than him, i take him to the theater the whole movie he will be advising me 'cars go vrrooom'.. i can tell its gonna be his favorite movie to watch.

 

The wife brought home a box of apple jacks cereal,which I thought was weird until I saw the Cars promo on the back and toy inside. I ripped right
into it and dug through it hoping for a "doc hudson". Ending up with the
sherrifs merc. Pulled it backward on the kitchen floor and let it rip. Dog
made a beeline for it and crunched it pretty good before I could get it out
of her mouth. Wife,meanwhile is laughing hysterically at her 46 yo husband
on the floor with a toy from a box of cereal... Thinking now I was set up.

Some kids never grow up.

BTW movie premiers at the Charlotte Nascar race later this month,
multi 50' tall DLP screens setup in turn two. Disneys biggest premier
EVER.

 

My grandson's birthday is June 9, the opening day of CARS and he asked me to take him. U can bet your sweet butt I will be there with my old car to chauffer him as well.

The family that plays together ....stays together.

me n the wife were at the mall of america today and i saw they had the toys out already, picked up doc hudson, and the 59 chevy one and the finned girlie one... me n the boy always be playing with the hotwheels.. dont know why he always has to have the good one.....haha

 

I too saw the cereal boxes with the cars, bought like 10 boxes and still didnt get doc hudson, but I got all the others kickin around the house to step on cuz the kids wont pick em up... Jay, good work thats great stuff, we cant wait to see it.

 

what if movie was made in Europe....

 

Not to change the focus too much from Pixar, but you guys do know about the Chevron collectible cars, right?

There have been claymation commercials featuring these cars.

The commercials were done by Aardman Studios (Wallace & Grommit).

I think all you US-guys have probably seen all the Previews and teasers about the film, but for those who haven't, take a peek at Apple.com's MovieTrailer-page, or head straight to the CARS-Preview-page;

Here is one BAD guy!!!

 

This is fun....what about Littleman's Coupe...

 

Here ya go RagDoll...

 

Nice plug Jay. In the second video Jay had on a Asphalt t shirt on.

 

OK, Maybe I'm easily entertained, But...

Did anyone else catch all the cool stuff in the pic that Ryan chose for the "Cars" comentary???



Check out the air filter cafe and the pistons and rods holding up the valve cover awnings! With spark Plugs!

Way cool! The art guys didn't miss a trick. If the story writers are half as good, this will be a huge hit!

Cudos!

 

Thanks 1-shot! You just made my son the happiest little guy! He wants to drive THAT car to go see the movie at the drive-in! =)

 

Film stars in the making, cleverly modified.......

 

THE ENTIRE movie is like that. back in January i went to see the Pixar exhibit in NYC and alot of the storyboard artwork was there. everthing in the movie, in some form or another, has vehicle themes everywhere. the roadside motels are like giant roadcones. i really cant wait to see this. im heavily involved in 3d modeling, animating and cars! so this movie is a perfect match for me hehehe.

 

Already is Larry. Looks awesome man.----someguy way out west

 

Here's where it goes into uber-geek mode, that I will only share with my HAMB brethern...

1. We made the spark plugs on the roof of Flo's light up in the same sequence of a flathead v-8 firing order

2. Cloud trails in the sky are tire tread patterns

3. We used 59 Caddy and 54 Ford tailight lenses for background flowers

4. The front of the courthouse is a giant Moto-Minder radiator cap

Thats all your getting for now-- You guys will find the rest!!

 

Wow, I feel like I've met a celebrity!

Nice work Jive Bomber!

I have already promised the kids, but like most HAMBers, They are just an escuse for me to go.

Thanks for sharing your talent.

 

My boy, who will be three this summer, already got a "Cars" cap, today. Momma bought it for him, and he wanted to wear it to bed.

His favorite character already is "Mater", the tow-truck, who he calls "Dad-Gum!". We found some trading cards in a magazine with all the characters. He also likes "Impala", which is really "Ramon" the lowrider. And he saw the one with the Petty Superbird, and named it "Joe Dirt's Car". LMAO.

This is definitely the coolest Pixar flick, yet. I'm geekin' out big time on the detail scoops.

Is this where we hot rodders start becoming the equivalent of the "Dungeons and Dragons" geeks? I better go hit my inhaler, and work on my Monster Manual.

 

"dungeons and dragon geeks"..... Those are awfull big words for a guy that knows what a "Monster Maunal" is.... You ain't gotta lie to kick it..... Revel in your "Geek-dom" I myself am half geek on my dad's side....

 

Even though the movie isn't out yet, I damn well hope there's a sequel in the making already...
