Binnes is probably based on {{wp|Cannes}}, a city in southern {{wp|France}} that is also a beach resort. This is further evidenced by the "Binnes Movie Festival Grand Prix", that is likely based on the {{wp|Cannes Film Festival}}. Furthermore, the name is likely a play on the Japanese word "bin", meaning "(glass) bottle", as a play on words as the Japanese pronunciation of Cannes sounds like "can". | Binnes is probably based on {{wp|Cannes}}, a city in southern {{wp|France}} that is also a beach resort.
