Trivia[]
- The Cars movie toys have variations, as there are clean and dirty versions of Lightning McQueen, and green, purple, and yellow versions of Ramone.
- The Cars character Fillmore was originally planned to be called "Waldmire", named after Bob Waldmire, a Route 66 resident whom the crew befriended during a road trip to do research for the film. However, Waldmire was an ethical vegetarian, and since Fillmore toys would be featured in Happy Meals, he did not want his name to be used.[1]
- The Finding Nemo commercial in the UK was the first McDonald's advertisement to use the "I'm lovin' it" slogan, which is still in use to this day.
- With the movie releasing in 2025, Elio got McDonald's toys in Brazil and Spain.
