Mattel Disney Pixar CARS: Mini, Minny, Minnie, Miney … Moe Van
Howard sends along an interesting photo …
The return of Mini in a 2-pack is now called Minny.
Of course, under the Disney banner, there’s already a famous Minnie – but with an EI.
So, her new name? Either a mistake or she’s (trademark) lawyered up … Can’t really trademark MINI as it’s taken by all mini-vans but Minny referring to a particular character can be. So MINI is now probably MINNY. AND is she now a unibody without a segmented face?
The new ‘Cars 3’ “Van” is a slight variant. The luggage box on the roof has dirt streaks, whereas the older release didn’t have them.
“I have the GPS. Never need a map again!”
Sometimes men will remarry a gal with the same (or similar) first name. Maybe there is a backstory here.
(MET: I like it).
