And if it was soooo important for things to be realistic, the beginning of the movie was set in 1995. FedEx was known as FDX Corp in 1995. The name FedEx didn't come to be until 2000.  |

I know this sounds totally geeky of me, but, Space Mountain in Disneyland was sponsored by "Fed Ex" as of 1995. I think the name Fed Ex has been around longer than 6 years.
Where's Ubergeek42 ?
Um, as for supplying logos, they didn't. Fed Ex only gave permission to use the logo. None were supplied by them for the film. They did allow usage of a real Fed Ex airplane but that's it. Loaning someone a vehicle is hardly payment. By that same principle, €uroMeinke is paying me to post on LoT.
