Chick Hicks or Chick Murphy?[edit]

I don't dispute it, but I'm wondering about where Chick's "real" name is coming from. I have found assorted online references to "Chick Murphy," but it seems like all of the official Disney/Pixar sources and press releases (and most Cars articles) use the name Chick Hicks. I don't have all of the books associated with this movie (yet!), but does any official source list Chick's real name?

Several Cars articles (like the Pete Lyons one that I cited) describe how plot elements of the movie were changed over its long production. I wonder if Disney/Pixar initially went with "Chick Murphy" (and word leaked to the press), only to change it to the more alliterative "Chick Hicks" later on. Hicks also has more negative connotations than the decent Irish "Murphy."

Merger[edit]

Chick is the closest thing Cars has to a villain. He is the main antagonist in the film and unless all the other individual listings are being merged, this one should stay as well.

Given the popularity of Disney/Pixar films and Chick's importance in the film Cars, it seems unnecessarily punitive to merge this page with the main Cars article. I think that individual articles for the main characters of Cars are appropriate and useful. Oceanstater 22:20, 18 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Cars article is already pretty long. Maybe it should be broken up even more. Rsduhamel 22:32, 21 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
