==Trivia==
*In Cars, Fillmore was originally going to be called "Waldmire," named after Robert "Bob" Waldmire, a Route 66 resident whom the crew befriended during their road trip to do research for the film. However, Waldmire was vegan, and he did not want his name to be featured in Happy Meal toys at McDonald's.
*McDonald's is the first and only restaurant to have promoted a Cars film.
* Cars was the final Disney film to receive Happy Meal toys, as Disney and McDonald's stopped working together shortly after. In the late 2010's, the toy companies worked out a new deal, allowing for Happy Meal toys based on Disney properties to be made once again, eventually leading to the Cars on the Road Happy Meal, among others.
