"Apple and Pixar have deep ties with each other thanks to a certain Mr Steve Jobs, who bought the company from George Lucas' Lucasfilm in 1986. The Apple co-founder was Pixar's CEO until it was acquired by Disney in 2006.\r\n\r\nWith connections spanning 25 years, it should come as no surprise that there are lots of Apple references in Pixar movies. Apple's iconic white earphones and a Mac (running Safari) make an appearance in Toy Story 3.\r\n\r\nWhilst it's listed on the Monsters Inc.\u00A0IMDb Trivia page, it took a thread on Reddit to bring to our attention a Pixar reference to the Apple's 'Think Different' slogan (click for bigger):\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nAs you can see, the magazine shows 'Scare Different', a small but fun reference that stayed under the radar for quite a while (the film was released in 2001). Think Different was used alsongside Apple's iMac products, making appearances in\u00A0television commercials and print advertisements.\r\n\r\nWith our interest\u00A0piqued, we decided to track down other references to Apple in Pixar films. Did you know that there is an Apple racing car in 'Cars'? Neither did we:\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe car is known as\u00A0Matthew Overtaker\u00A0or\u00A0Mac iCar and appears in the opening race with the number 84, the year\u00A0Apple Computer revealed what has been called the best Super Bowl commercial of all time. The ad would announce the arrival of the Apple Macintosh on 24th January 1984.\r\n\r\nOther references include the fact that Apple's\u00A0Jony Ive designed Eve from Wall-E.\u00A0Pixar used the classic Mac startup sound when Wall-E powered on\u00A0and he also uses an old iPod.\u00A0Many believe the film itself was made in homage to Steve Jobs.\r\n\r\nHave you noticed any other Apple references in Pixar films? Let us know in the comments."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
