Cars Land Details: The Hidden Pixar SnowGlobe

We're inside Lizzie's Radiator Springs Curios Shop today. It's a crazy little store full of antique decor and whimsical knick knacks. Speaking of knick knacks...if you look in the right place, you'll spot a tribute to one of Pixar's earliest short films.

Check out the line of snow globes atop one of the display cabinets.

Knick the Snowman has found a home in the Cars universe! I guess things didn't go well for him with the fishbowl mermaid...

Roger Rabbit Details: Backstage at the Ink & Paint Club

In honor of the recent Blu-ray release of Who Framed Roger Rabbit, I'd like to highlight my very favorite detail hidden inside Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin at Disneyland. We can't use a Fastpass to find it, for it's tucked inside the amazing standby queue.

The queue takes us into the town's shadowy back alleys. As you approach the Ink & Paint Club, don't be alarmed when the door panel bangs open and the bouncer tells you to get lost; we're almost to our goal.

Ah, there it is! We're backstage at the Ink & Paint Club, and this is the call board listing the order of the acts for the night's show. In the movie, this is the show private eye Eddie Valiant walked into part way through. If you've ever wondered what the entire night's lineup was, here it is, performed three times a night:

Warm-Up - Goofy
Dog Tricks - Mickey & Pluto
"Always" - Minnie
Ballet - Horace & Clarabelle
Card Tricks - Mickey
"Hungarian Rhapsody" - Donald
"Do Right" - Jessica
Finale - Company

Wouldn't you love to see this show from beginning to end? If you're a fan of the movie, you know "Hungarian Rhapsody" is actually a duet performed by Donald and Daffy. Either Daffy decided he could no longer work with the volatile Donald...or else Disney (understandably) didn't want to pay Warner Bros. for the rights to use his name in a queue gag.

Cars Land Details: Angus A. Ackley

Cars Land overflows with wonderful, imaginative details that help bring the automotive universe to life. Here we have a great piece from the memorabilia case inside Luigi's Casa della Tires. This terrific poster, introducing a character not seen in the films, presents several layers of background story all at once.

His name's Angus A. Ackley, and he owns a bagpipe shop somewhere in the Cars version of Europe. Sometime in the past, Lugi and Guido provided him with comfy whitewalls, either via mail order or during the duo's trip around the world with Lightning and Mater during Cars 2. A satisfied customer, Ackley's inscribed the poster, "Lads, them whitewalls feel good under me fender skirts!"

I can only imagine how loud those extra-large bagpipes might be. Luigi's probably got a CD tucked somewhere in his office, which never gets played amongst the never-ending Italian playlist echoing throughout the queue for Luigi's Flying Tires.

Yes, I'm a Cars geek. Should I mention I noticed Angus's initials are AAA?
