Don Crumlin is a purple AMC Gremlin who appears in Cars 2. He is a member of the Gremlin crime family, and works for Professor Zündapp on the Oil Rig.

History[]

In Cars 2, Don Crumlin is one of many Lemons working at the Oil Rig. Once C.H.R.O.M.E. agent Finn McMissile is spotted spying on the Lemons' plans, Crumlin and many others chase after the agent in an attempt to capture him. Unfortunately for him, he exploded with many lemons.

He also appears in the tie-in storybook Secret Agent Mater, in place of where J. Curby Gremlin appeared in the film. Several purple Gremlins would later appear in Cars 2: The Video Game.

Trivia[]

  • He is named after, Cars 2 production worker and animator, Don Crum.
  • Don Crumlin is arguably non-canon. He appeared to be Mattel's version of J. Curby Gremlin when he was released in the London Rescue 12-pack, although he did not appear in London at all.
  • Don Crumlin is the only Lemon whose surname isn't that of his make and model (interestingly enough, Fred Pacer was once known as Fred Fisbowski, and Petrov Trunkov was once known as Petrov Oilski).
    • On some websites, he is called "Russ Gremlin."
  • Like Roger Wheeler, his car-pun name is used as a normal human name.
  • His diecast incorrectly depicts him with green eyes.
