Is there a hidden timon in cars land?

[Jlebrett14]

Was wondering if there is a hidden timon in cars land like the hidden eeyore in the Indiana jones adventure ride.

Any reason it would be a timon?

Wasn't that the lot it was built on?

 

[Minuet888]

yes, yes it is, hence why there would be a Timon there

Do you know if there is a hidden timon in cars land and if so where?

 

[Brumbie13]

I don't think there will be.

While Disney did do it for Indiana Jones, I think it's because Indiana Jones was the first real time Disney had expanded into the parking lot. Now that pretty much the entire parking lot that use to be there has been replaced by DCA and DTD, it isn't something new for them to do.

As far as I know, Indiana Jones is the only place where there is a parking lot sign in any of the California parks. While Disney is nostalgic, they also don't tend to do the same kinds of tributes over and over again. Each tribute to a former ride/attraction seems to be a bit different.

Although a parking lot sign in Cars Land may fit right in, I don't think they would use that same in the parks again.

That is an excellent question. Disney often does throw backs as memorials. I doubt CL is exempt from this but would guess it's totally subdued somewhere. A friend of mine met John Lasster in CL and I wish I had thought to ask him to ask this question to him. Mr. Lasseter can be viewed as a gaurdian of what make Disney parks great and would probably be close to 99.999% behind sticking a little Timon detail into the land instead of making it 100% cars.


I didn't notice any super hidden HMs or other character variants in CL. One fun thing to do is count the cars on the Cadillac range while in line. Go there and you are likely to notice what I mean.

There are soooo many hidden mickeys throughout Cars Land: some obvious, others not so much. There are also lots of "Easter Eggs" throughout the new land, including autographed memorabilia from "John Lassetire.". I have not heard of or spotted a Timon, but it would not surprise me if it's there somewhere --- there's a Buzz Lightyear, so, I would not rule anything out.

thanks so much and I will definitely do this on my next trip early August for 4 days.

Oops, I forgot about that thanks for the reminder!

What do you mean "easter eggs?" Also where is the Buzz?

I know of Eeyore on Indiana, the Country Bears on Winnie the Pooh and America Sings animatronics on Splash Mountain.

I'm curious, what else is there so that I may find them?

An easter egg would be like.....in Cars, Lightning McQueen is trying to get on the Dinoco racing team. Dinoco also happens to be the gas station that Andy's mom stops at in Toy Story to get gas.

Or a clown fish like Nemo on the hanging mobile in Boo's room in Monster's Inc.

And really, Hidden Mickey's would be considered Easter Eggs but those are special

And another well known Disney Pixar easter egg would be A113

Ok, I kept up just fine until A113. What's up with A113?

"Easter Eggs" are things that are hidden (generally in movies) that connect meaning-wise to something that the audience is familiar with, but has nothing to do with the actual topic at hand.

Buzz Lightyear can be seen in at Cozy Cone Motel inside Sally's office, hiding under a cone as he is seen running down the street in Toy Story 2.

I know of Eeyore on Indiana, the Country Bears on Winnie the Pooh and America Sings animatronics on Splash Mountain.

I'm curious, what else is there so that I may find them?

There are walls inside Innoventions that have artwork on them. Amongst the panels there is a tribute to every single attraction that has been housed within that building, as well as a panel that had a nod to the old House of the Future.

Exactly.

A113 is the room number of a classroom at CAL Arts, the alma mater of many Pixar artists, etc (including John Lasseter). It is somewhere in every Pixar film made, whether it's on a license plate, an address, a flight number, courtroom number, to name a few ways it has appeared.

It refers to a class room at an art school where animators may of went. You can find this number in Pixar movies written or said and in other cartoons as well such as the Simpsons and more.

There is a lot to pay attention to while boarding but if you get some free time look at the license plates on the cars in RSR. They all mean something some more obvious than others.

I always love to see the part in Alladin where Genie is looking through the "cookbook" to make Alladin a prince. They play the music from Little Mermaid and he has the Sebastian on his fingure. So clever and exciting to spot!

I should of been more specific but skiingfast did a great job at explaining.

here are some images showing where A113 appears in pixar films

Pixar is notorious for easter eggs. Besides all the hidden references to their other movies, they also refer to Apple. I didn't make anything of it until recently when I rememberd that Steve Jobs was "responsible" for picking Pixar up out of the dumps and signing with Disney. The most memorable and funniest one for me is when Wall-E is rebooting and makes the Apple start-up sound.
