I saw this tagline on the French poster of Pixar's Cars: "Faites le plein d'evasion..." My French is a little rusty, so I'm guessing it means "Make your plans for evasion (getaway plan)", but the dictionary says 'plein' is full. So can any Francophile please enlighten me on what the tagline really means?

OK, it should mean: "Get your fill of evasion" - "evasion" meaning in this case "fun". Evasion is used to mean getting away from/escaping from routine, hum-drum...
Yeah, sorry. I forgot to add in my haste - an obvious play on words with "plein" probably referring to "fill" as in filling a gas tank in a car...

well, you're right, it does mean what you said. plein does mean full but it still means what you said.

I think it means, " Your money is now Ours..." Sorry, I couldn't stop the mirth reaction.
