The Apple car from Cars

You Mac folks will dig this.

During the opening race in Disney/Pixar Cars, there's a quick in-joke glimpse of a white car branded with a big gray Apple apple. If you want a closer look at the car, the blu-ray release will deliver...

Nice number.

The blu-ray Cars has a nifty game mode called Car Finder, where you have to find cars on cue, Where's Waldo style. I know the phrase "DVD game" sets eyes rolling, but some newer blu-rays have upped the ante and actually contain playable bonus games.

Car Finder is particularly cool because you get to play it while you watch the regular movie (with minimal interruptions). A lot of those old dopey DVD games were mainly hacked up film clips divided by ample load times.

To begin, you have five car icons at the bottom of the screen and you click on them when you see the match. If you miss one, the icon disappears and a new car shows up. The game keeps track of how many cars you have missed, along with a running score. Your score flops down every time you click when there is no onscreen match.

Once you match a car, you unlock it in a gallery... which provides cute bonus material such as what is seen above.

And yeah, you can save your game and come back to it later. Very cool.

I'm not this type of parent (I'll pretty much watch whatever Clark wants, no matter how many times he wants to see it), but I could imagine something like this taking the edge off of parents having to view Cars ten times in a row. However, I'm sure most people aren't even aware a bonus feature like this exists.
