Yes Amy, it's Keep Moving Forward. It's a running theme throughout Meet the Robinsons...and is based on a Walt Disney quote: "We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we're curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths".


That's a bummer Len! How cool it would have been to have a WDW license plate without extra cost!

Ok, this is a bit off topic but I thought it was funny...and I was in my DIZNEE plated car so that counts right? Anyhow...
I saw a truck in my rearview mirror while I was sitting at a stoplight yesterday. In Michigan and Indiana, you only have to have rear plates, so a lot of times people have fun things on their front plate. This truck had a personalized plate on the front. I'm looking in my mirror and all I can see is DR KING. I thought, oh, that's nice, they have a plate for Dr. Martin Luther King, different, but nice. Next stoplight, I see more writing on the bottom - Harley Davidson...Hmmm, I was wondering what MLK and Harley had in common...thinking....thinking....next stoplight, look again...yup, read that right, Harley Davidson....perplexed, I kept driving and puzzling over that one. Finally, at the next light, a different light comes on :idea: ding! right over my head, I was reading the RD as DR in my mirror so it really read RD KING for Harley - that made so much more sense, boy did I feel :oops:

Amy had a senior moment at such a young age or was it a blond moment?

There is a jeep type truck I see all the time here in Chattanooga that has a custom tag that reads "Iwanna". The first time I saw it a couldn't stop laughing and my DW looks and wants to know what's so funny. She started laughing also when I said read the tag on the Hummer!!

Iwanna be younger and I used to be blond after I spent a few months in Africa and Australia ~ so probably a bit of both Jacca :wink:
That Hummer plate is a good one! :lol:

That's a neat idea...I always wondered why my car had something splattered all over it...I had the topper facing backwards on the antenne! :D

I have one of those antenna toppers! It's a Mickey head with graduation-hat ears with "08" on it. Got it when I graduated high school. Did have a bumper sticker too but it got faded in the sun.

The car parked next to me at Sam's Club today had a Mickey antennae topper with sparkley silver ears. They were loading up their trunk when I was backing out so I rolled down my window and told them I liked their topper. They replied that they loved my "DIZNEE" plate! Ahh, another fine Disney exchange :D

I always like it when I see people drive by with various Disney antennae toppers. The last one I remember seeing was a pirate Mickey. I did see a license plate a loooong time ago that said CPNJACK or something of the like. I know it was Jack Sparrow related.

I just recently put the Mickey Mouse window decal on my car. I also drilled out the hole on an antenna topper so it could fit over the nub antenna on mom's car. I'll have pictures up in a bit. I just have to dig through to find them.

Mouseoholic and I both have D23 stickers on the back windows of our vehicles. I keep hoping a fellow Dis-freak will greet us because of it, but no has ever said anything.... except a few poor unenlightened souls who ask what it means. :roll: :lol:

That's a good one. I had a Mom and daughter (or so it seemed) behind me today. The bridge is under construction so traffic limps along and I can see them looking at my plate and then smiling and talking about it. That always makes me smile when I see others enjoying my Disney plate :D

I passed a big honkin' black vehicle pulled off the side of the road today. As I was going by I noticed a very nice Mickey Mouse silhouette, just the 3 circles making up his head and ears, on the back. It looked very nice :D
