Pixar Cars.... - Beyond Tiki

I was initially hesitant to see it, because I didn't want to see an animated film that focused on non-stop NASCAR racing, but was pleasantly surprised to see that the main theme of the film was the Route 66 / anti-interstate angle. My favorite part of the film was the Cozy Cone Motel, definitley inspired by the teepees of the Wigwam Village Motels. There was a short view of a 'Welcome to Emeryville' sign, with numerous Rotary/cici organization signs attached to its side - which made me want to hit a non-existant theatre pause button to see if any of those civic signs mentioned Trader Vics.
