The VW Bus is Back

FortWayne.com: The offbeat comedy "Little Miss Sunshine" stars Greg Kinnear, Toni Collette, Alan Arkin and Steve Carell. But a scene-stealing, central role is filled by a surprising, uncredited cast member: an old, yellow-and-white Volkswagen bus. It's only one of the VW sightings at the multiplex this summer. "Cars," the Pixar-animated stop-and-smell-the-cactus-flowers ode to Route 66, has an all-car cast. One of them is a hippie VW van named Fillmore, voiced by George Carlin, who spouts big-oil conspiracy theories.
