Charles Muntz

Can anyone else see that Charles Muntz looks like Paul Newman?

I thought maybe it was done as a homage by Pixar for Paul.

Hmm…There is a slight resemblance, though it isn’t very obvious. It might be an homage, but if it were I’d expect the resemblance to be a bit more obvious. To me, Muntz looks like many old guys except with a rather more strange facial shape. :laughing:

I don’t think they wanted to make it obvious. Take Buzz Lightyear for example, his name is taken from 2 things. Buzz Aldrin and the speed of light over distance and yet not many picked up on that.

I wouldn’t have thought of Paul Newman. Most comments I’ve read on the topic think Old Muntz looks like Kirk Douglas (it’s the chin :wink: ). Young Muntz has more of that Errol Flynn/Hollywood Matinee Idol thing going.


“There is not much ressemblance.”

I have to agree with the Kirk Douglas ressemblance, but not the Paul Newman so much.
