Toy Story 3 Director Talks About Being an Apple Junkie

In an interview exclusive on Cult of Mac, Toy Story 3 director Lee Unkrich tells all about his obsession with Apple products. The interview, conducted by guest writer Mike Bastoli, of the Pixar Blog, explains what Unkriches first Mac was, why Apple gets some cameo appearances in Pixar movies, and we also find out that Steve Jobs has personally helped to feed Unkriches affection for Apple products.
When asked how many Apple references the studio has put into their movies over the past years, Unkrich responds, "Not a lot — the ones that come to mind, but I’m sure I’m missing some, are: Mac startup sound in WALL-E when he recharges; WALL-E watches Hello, Dolly! on an old video iPod; Bonnie has an iMac in the kitchen of her house in Toy Story 3; Andy’s sister, Molly, has a 2nd generation iPod nano [also] in Toy Story 3; and the Apple logo race car in Cars."
Of course, if you're an Apple fanatic like Unkrich, you would have already spotted these appearances in the mentioned films.
