They should have called Cars 2 "Mater: A Car's Story" and Cars 3 "Cars 2"
Cars 2 could be a good spin off.
Mater: A car wars story
Iokepa Gyarados cars 3 was actually kind of decent though
Or how about "Cars 2: Mater's Big Adventure"!! XD
Cars 2 is a good spy movie, just a bad movie movie.
The good dinosaur should've gotten the wall e treatment, little to no dialogue, just a human boy and a young dinosaur finding out they aren't that different
That would have made it way better!
That's honestly what I thought the film was going to be
*The Good Dinosaur (actual version) score*
Animation: 6 (while the backgrounds are not my absolute favourites, they still got the job done to be the closest thing to making TGD feel like a Pixar film with the power of modern CGI to make it look believable. If only the character designs, even if they were stylized which is fitting for a Pixar film, matched the photorealism of the film’s atmosphere)
Story: 3 (to give it credit where credit is due, at least Arlo and Spot shared a touching bond... which could’ve been more if the movie were less disappointing)
Characters: 4 (the only ones I really did like were the tyrannosauruses, but if only they had more screen time)
*5/10 (it’s not the worst Pixar film, but it’s close)*
Oooh that would've been better. I don't hate it as much as other people do but still
The scene where Spot explains what happened to his family and Arlo responds in kind about his father, all with little dialogue, was a tiny glimpse into what could've been
Apparently there was a deleted scene in Cars 3 where Doc would be racing with Lightning McQueen before collapsing and passing away. It was so sad that the creators had to delete it due to how depressing it was.
They can’t allow emotional but they allow guns in their films.
@@RudoMike21 thats just cars 2 its just a minor thing
Bro, holy crap if that scene ended up in the film i think i would just be balling.
I mean, that is basically Dale Earnhardt and Dale Earnhardt Jr. Before Dale Earnhardt died in the 2001 Daytona 500.
@@RudoMike21 The ultimate hypocrisy of Hollywood. A bunch of Hollywood liberals who virtue signal about gun control. Then they put as much gun violence in their movies as possible. They are against gun violence when they want to boost their public image. But, they are for glamorizing gun violence when they can make a huge profit.

I'm sorry, but, this is objectively false. A vast majority of environments and stories being told in the Cars universe relates to both American and Automotive history, especially in regards to things like NASCAR, as American Automotives are a very rich culture that has a long history behind it. Radiator Springs for example is directly inspired by actual dying cities and routes from Route 66, the Piston Cup is a parallel to Grand Prix trophies, a large amount of cars are even voiced by racing or driving legends, and more. Obviously you could tell these stories with humans driving cars, but why not make it with sentient cars? That's just a lot funner and creative as it's very interesting to bring to life the various personalities of automobiles, like how Sally is a Porsche, despite originally being planned on being a Mustang, due to the fact that Porsches are a lot more feminine. Even little things like making tractors cattle is really interesting and creative. There isn't a point to overthinking it.
by that, I mean, Car lovers tend to imprint personalities onto their vehicles, based on their condition, age, etc., in the same way that a child would imprint personalities onto their toys, so it makes sense to a certain degree as to why they would tell very human stories with anthromorphic cars; it's basically a romanticized story of what would happen if a car lover's cars actually were sentient, and the personalities we imprinted onto them became their actual living personalities. A way you could look at it is that it's effectively a human story of the driver's ambitions, told from the perspective of their cars. They obviously don't have to literally BE Cars, but if you think the franchise is bad for that reason, then you are missing the point of it, and the creativity factor of the franchise would be exceptionally dull if it wasn't using anthromorphic cars.
Ironically, your mentality of "them being sentient cars has to actually be relevant to the plot" is something that lead to Cars 2, which is easily the worst movie in the franchise by a very large margin, by making various plot points explicitly depend on them being Cars. Even you attest to this.
In Cars 3, keeping what I said in mind about it being a theoretical driver's ambitions told from the perspective of the Cars themselves, Lightning McQueen is getting old because he's an old NASCAR model. He isn't literally an old man; he is, instead, an outdated model being replaced by far more advanced technology than him. This is exactly what happened to Doc previously. This plot point is very clearly presented, I'm genuinely not sure why you missed that.
Doc died because, in reality, even Cars stop working after a while. Doc was a 70 year old Hudson Hornet. There is only 19 Hudson Hornets left in real life due to the reality of automotives aging and deteriorating, and those 19 Hudson Hornets are requiring constant heavy maintenance to stay running. It really isn't a stretch to assume Doc simply succumbed to age and lack of maintenance considering they chose to live in the Desert for their last couple of decades.
I think the real shortcoming is that there is far fewer passionate car lovers than toy lovers and such, especially with young people. These movies were made for car lovers who are passionate about cars and want to see their beloved hobby and inanimate objects they care about be brought to life. But, because of this, it kinda failed to find it's target audience since it was a Pixar film marketed towards kids. Cars 2 tried to address those two issues by both being explicitly made for kids and also directly tying the fact that they are cars into the plot, which sounded good on paper, but it ultimately fell completely flat by alienating it's existing fanbase, and Cars 3 was made to properly provide a send-off to the people who "got" it and really latched onto the movies. Even the characters themselves are testaments to Automotive History and every car brand was very deliberately picked, because every car in the movie needed to have a very rich and deep history behind it.
I personally have a passionate fondness for vehicles. So Cars really stood out to me as an incredibly creative idea that brought beloved vehicles to life and showcased their history and what kind of personalities they would have if their drivers had their personalities imprinted into them. Of course it leads to all the funny hypothetical questions like "Where did all the humans go", "Why are these cities made for cars", etc., but if you ask that question seriously, and criticize the film for it, then you have missed the point of why it's the way that it is, y'know?
Dude… Thank you. 🙏
You absolute fucking legend. I couldn't have put it better if I had an entire year to write it lol
Great analysis! I usually really like Schaff but this video was a massive L on him

go ahead and r/whooosh me
Cars is already sorta "live action". Animation is realistic and there's no real living animals, soooooo
Meanings behind the Cars movies:
Cars 1: Slow down. Enjoy the simple things in life.
Cars 2: *absolutely nothing*
Cars 3: Accept to be yourself and acknowledge times are changing
I always thought Cars 2 was saying we all have our uses. Mater figured out the real villain when most people, even McQueen, thought he was a dumb hick.
Cars 2:I LOVE KILLING I LOVE MUDER!
Warband Seven İnsan yea its haha i am spy i kill people
Cars 2 : COCAINE IS EXTREMELY FUN !!!!
Cars 2: Anyone can be a hero, no matter who you are
I like how Schaff is just detailing why the Cars franchise is nonsensical and pointless and everyone’s just like, “Well… I liked it!”
I dont 🗿
i did enjoy the first movie (never watched the other two) when i was younger but i acknowldege the franchises is not that good
no one who enjoys the cars franchise thinks the worldbuilding is great lol, believe it or not, but people can enjoy a story without thinking too much of the complex world around it
Exactly people not using reason and using nostalgia just like fans of disney’s dinosaur
@@tomascoelho5562 but cars 3 asks us to think about stuff like how is lighting mcqueen old which requires knowledge of motorsports which most kids don’t care about
Cars 1 could be argued as having a car theme. 2 was just a thrill for kids with little to no plot. 3 was missed opportunities and pain
to be fair 3 was in a rough spot after 2 so it actually would have been a miracle if the story was impactful in the first place
Exactly, Cars' concept isn't necessarily about cars, it's about a race driver learning to overcome his ego. Automobiles is a theming that simplifies the movie's concept and makes it more distinct.
The second film was weird because it was trying to make a spy movie around the theme of cars.
Elaborate on the third point. I don't agree and I wanna hear how you think it's missed opportunity.
@@5usp3c7 a lot of the deleted scenes are a good start, they help flesh out Cruz and change the ending in a unique way.
Cars 1 was a masterpiece, the others were complete garbage
I’m just disappointed that, in all three movies, we never saw a car wipe it’s tears with its windshield wipers.
I saw that on Ted 2
Yeah but where would they come from? Window sprayers? Hmmmm... "I'm not crying, I'm just washing my windows!"
The level of genius displayed here is unprecedented
@Ruby Taylor that quote would actually work really well if they were to do that though...

"Cars don't die of old age"
Have you ever had a car?
Theoretically, if someone were to stubbornly keep making replacement parts, a car could last forever. How many parts were left original, of course, would be in question
Appletank8 yeah but at that point it's the ship if Theseus. Or, car...
@@Appletank8 Well, theoretically, if you continued to replace humans with new organs, they could continue to live. Rich people are buying blood from young people. People recieve heart, kidney, blood marrow transplants. Still, people die of old age/heart disease/heart attacks/kidney failure/etc.
RoninHD that’s because unlike human organs car parts can theoretically be mass produced. Just dig up some Materials and boom, car parts. Also unlike human flesh metal decays slowly and can be taken out of the fixed and put back in. So yeah they at least would have a longer life span than a humans. If we believe that car WW|| happened around human WW|| than Sarge was only be 77 which is way to soon. In this essay I will
@@theteethburglar4716 Okay, but think about this. If you are constantly replacing the parts of a car, and you eventually replace every part of the car, is it the same car?
The thing about these movies is very clearly the writers didn't expect anyone older than ten to take a deeper look at them. Because if they did, they would have needed to consider that the locations all being 1:1 to real locations suggests that history is relatively unchanged. Meaning that there very well could have been a car Holocaust, a car Cold War, and a car 9/11.
How come other pixar films were written intelligently
I shit you not, in the spinoff movie Planes, there's literally a character who's a World War II veteran. They even show a flashback of him being a soldier during WWII.
So yeah, Car Hitler probably existed. Now I wonder what type of Car he was.
@@sukriti7213probably a Volkswagen
@@sukriti7213 Probaly a Volkswagen or Mercedes
The concept of a demolition derby in a world of sentient cars feels like an underground bloodsport
The first rule of Fast Club
I know, but what's even worse, in the series Cars on the Road they have a monster truck. Do we even need to imagine how messed up that would be if we had an equivalent of a monster truck event in our world? (Well, okay, we do have an equivalent in our world, and it's called... a monster truck event, but you know what I mean. If we had a more exact 1-to-1 representation of what a monster truck event would be like in the Cars universe. Trucks roaring through a morgue, limbs and guts... Never mind.)
@@matthewmitchell3457 I suppose the human equivalent would be some fucked up Olympics where all enhancing/doping drugs and even body modifications are allowed and encouraged
Demolition derbies and monster truck events are the Cars universe equivalent of what happened in Roman Colosseums in our world.
In the Cars universe, "NordVPN" would be called "FordVPN."

Gabriel 2020 because cars just isn’t as good as the other Pixar films. The storyline is generic, the characters are pretty forgettable, and the soundtrack is meh. It isn’t a bad movie at all but it can’t possibly compare to movies like toy story, the incredibles, ratatouille, wall-E, Up, and even monsters inc
Glctc Thnkr Yeah. I explained basically the same but a YT robot deleted my comment.
@@glctcthnkr8059 Minecraft: Lost Hero is better than this movies. But Cars 1 is great
The unlucky tug actually brought up some good points in his big retrospective of these movies, like how cars 3 gives an actual purpose to them being cars, and how cars 2 is the reason why the world is confusing. It’s a good watch, I recommend it. I’m not saying it’ll change your mind about these movies, but it does answer some questions about these movies.
Yes yes excellent counter argument, both sides have great points but I do think Tug made a MUCH better discussion on Cars as a franchise
I agree Especially Since He Actually Brings A Point For Cars 1 He Said It's Much More Creative With Cars Then Humans
@@monkeman9834exactly. The whole point of the animation medium is to be more creative, more quirky, more abstract, etc. If you make every character a generic human being, that completely defeats the purpose, and you may as well have made it live action. It would've genuinely made the story more boring
@@Nic_2751 Agreed
For those unaware he was in a car accident this morning. Two of his buddies died and James is in crit
Apparently James has woken up and is no longer in critical condition, but his brother and his friend didn't make it...
This is really sad and I hope the James can get better
@@BenJPics9925 wdym?
Wait for real? Bruh.
I think this entire franchise was built upon the idea of "hey the front grill of a lot of cars kind of look like faces"
I think this quite often actually lol they either look like they're smiling or really pissed off
Fun fact : Cars are actually designed that way for some reason. I think the guy making the concept of how a car would look was smokin' something.
Arent the headlights supposed to be eyes
@@arutezza yeah but that would be too weird looking for a kids movie
@@trisle2764 i mean pop up headlights already look a lot like eyes
In McQueen's defence, he was becoming outdated, and thus, getting old. The film plot already says that he can't keep up with the other racers who are fresher, more updated and better performing.
That's why the argument of cars dying doesn't make sense. In the real world cars get older, slower and eventually break down
How are these cars born? Or made? I love cars but cars leavs you with more questions than anything else and it shouldn't even be that deep of a movie. XD
@@HadHadHad-A I think something like Robots? Where parents order a baby from an autoshop, adopt, then as they grow older they get upgrades and new parts.
@@crowthewicked8344 because “making the baby is the fun part” is an underrated line in animated movie history. And yeah that’s always how I assumed car babies are made
@@jacklyynch I don't think it neeeds an explanation, it's a concept that made my childhood, but making it realistic would kill it completly.
The most you could probably do for a demo derby is the question "Is this ethical?" because it's essentially a gladiator fight.
"Why are they cars?"
Because humans are boring and it's fucking cool
"None of the themes are car related"
I guess car racing doesn't exist then
Car races are done by humans 🤦🏾♀️ there’s no reason for them to be cars because a story about car racing could be done with humans, see turbo

Also by themes he means stuff like a feeling of inadequacy and growing old

I think the biggest issue for me was always they made the characters cars... and ignored any kind of limitations that would cause. Not once was a single car struggling to preform a task because they lack hands. Every one and every thing is a car, and later blimps/airplanes etc. With zero idea how that could possibly work and why some things even exist in a society based upon cars. Seriously why are there stairs when they all drive?
Where are there any stairs? Wait, was it in London in Cars 2 or something?
That's only a problem in Cars 2. The first and third movies built the universes around the cars so it feels normal
@@pirate_cove_man Yep.

Regardless if cars doesn’t make any sense, and that they didn’t need to be Anthro car, but I still loved it and I prefer the cars over humans driving cars. I think it’s unique and artistic
EXACTLY
That’s an ignorant point he made, it’s an animation and when it comes to designing characters, you should be as creative as you can!
Cars was a huge success too, imagine if every cartoon and cgi movie was 100% realistic, it’d be boring.
If it has entertaining characters and a plot worth watching (which is subjective to a point) then it’s good enough.
@@hijackedmemes6988 that’s what I was thinking
@@MrEggBoi I absolutely love Cars and Cars 3, Cars 2 was alright but it didn’t really fit in with the rest, personally I think it should’ve been a spin off movie or something else.

Schaffrillas: "why cars is a conceptually bad franchise"
My inner 6 year old self: how dare you?
I relate to this so much
Although lightning can be a savage unrest or character , throw francise is nostalgic. I like his savage personality
Same dude
Cars is not bad you liers 😡😡😡
Olive Oil I remember watching shark tales I had the dvd. Personally didn’t like it. Though it was a part of my childhood and I know it’s nostalgic to people
I watched the Cars franchise last month and it was far better than I expected it to be. You say that there’s no emotional moments but when he’s starts “fading fast” in Cars 3, it was a feeling of sadness that all sports fans have felt. Last year I watched Cristiano Ronaldo, a soccer icon for 20 years, play for Manchester United and he was so bad it was genuinely uncomfortable to watch. There’s nothing worse than that as a sports fan and that Cars 3 scene demonstrated it perfectly. That scene is used constantly on twitter too whenever a player has gotten too old.
Let's not forget doc Hudson's origin as a whole and radiator springs and how it died off. Lightning giving up the win so he could help strip weathers finish his last race was wholesome as hell
The longer I watched, the more sure I was that this video HAD to be ironic, I even went and checked if it was uploaded on April 1st. There's another comment that explains this way better than I ever could, but Schaff seems to have completely missed the point of Cars, being a love letter to NASCAR, and US car culture, which is so unusual for him. Also, imo it's silly to judge this movie harshly for not following the same formula as all the other ones, almost as silly as a movie about talking cars 😉
"How do cars die"
Hutson went to many miles without an oil change and McQueen is going on 200,000 miles
For what it's worth, most cars "die" when they have parts breakages that'd be too expensive to repair, and get abandoned/ crushed. Not exactly a concept that'd work for the cars universe without a bit of existential horror
@@farmerboy916 Well, that does sound a lot like how privatized healthcare works, such as that of the US.
EGBrandan Ironically, that is one of the few ways you could make them being cars actually interesting and relevant.
I like the mileage idea for universe aging. Could also make a certain part, like their engine, their "soul" which cannot be replaced; kind of like a human can't replace their brain.
@@farmerboy916 Funny enough, There is actually concept art for dead cars and a rough draft of a scene to go with it. It's been a long time since I've seen it but I remember it being really unsettling.
*Cars 4*
A brilliant inventor creates a new transportation method: The Human. The Human is a giant nude person that crawls across the ground quickly. Hundreds of cars can enter a human through the mouth and are stored throughout it's body. It uses its massive size and ability to climb around and over obstacles to become the new hot transport method. Thousands of humans are constructed. They crawl across the world. There is no plot. It is just absolutely fucking horrifying.

In the first movie, the story is told from the perspective of a racing car as an allegory to people in big cities "racing their lives" instead of slowing down, and taking the time to enjoy a longer, more curvy road just for the scenery. that's how the story benefits from being told via sentient cars

I’m embarrassed, I don’t trust no one around us-
I'm pretty sure, in Cars 3, they explained that old age was related to being outdated. Newer cars had more efficient engines, streamlined designs, etc. All his opponents were more advanced. There is only so much you can do to improve an old car without making it a whole new car by replacing all its parts. McQueen had to retire because he couldn't keep up with automotive innovation.
I'm pretty sure Doc's death can just be excused as a dead car. One that just doesn't turn on or work anymore.
Ok but what was up with planes??? When i was a kid there were ads for that movie everywhere but i never saw, never met anyone who saw it, and have never seen anyone talk about it at all, is it even in your pixar ranking??? I just watched it again this week and i don't remember seeing planes in the slightest
"Talks about Cars"
*DOESN'T MENTION PLANES*
Planes is even worst than cars 2
It's about a plane who has fear of heights
Why we don't make a movie about a boat afraid of water?
Planes would have worked so much better as a Video Brinquedo ripoff, and I truly mean that. The story was just so abysmal that I still have trouble recognizing it as actual Disney media.
I would pay to watch the boat movie tbh.
The less said about Planes, the better.
what about a car afraid of the ground so hes a nervous wreck
In the Cars movies, the characters can be arrested for speeding. And since they are LIVING cars, it would be the same thing as getting arrested for running too fast.
Usain bolt would have the death sentence by now
In real life, it would he an amazing feat to kill someone by running into them. Not as hard for living cars.

In defense of Cars, this is a universe where:

* Bugs have their own utopia
* Monsters portal jump/time travel to collect screams to power their world

* Superheroes have powers with no explanation on where they got them and how they are able to pass them on to their offsprings
* Rats know how to cook
* Humans have polluted Earth causing them to leave and be brainwashed by artificial intelligence (that’s likely to happen)
* An old man is able to lift his house off the ground with balloons which is impossible in every way, they never explain the process and how he set it all up in one night, and that overall creates such a big plot hole in the movie itself because he somehow has the money to pull off a stunt like that so he would’ve had enough money to go to Paradise Falls, and regardless he doesn’t have enough balloons to lift his house anyway
* There’s magic and spells in Scotland
* The voices in your head are apparently their own sentient beings

I like Cars 3 but the most frustrating part about it is that they were SO CLOSE to figuring out the narrative purpose of the cars. They scratch the surface of some interesting car stuff, like the crash scene and the rise of electric cars on the track; neither of those things play an actual part in the story.

Wait what how
IMO Car Hitler would be a old vw beetle
Honestly, the way I’ve always thought about it is that cars are appealing to kids. If Cars was made with humans, I think kids would be less interested, and this is important for more reasons than just money. I learned a lot from this movie as a kid about pride, not judging others, and living your life for more than just personal gain. If it was humans, I would have gotten bored and not cared when I was younger. So while being cars is far from integral to the plot, and this movie is far from like a masterpiece, that always counted for something to me

I can confirm this theory because i can say that i was the biggest cars fan you could ever hear about when i was young
that is correct sir
well said
having questions is not a criticism
When Cars 2 came out I thought each installment in the franchise was going to be based on a different type/genre of movie. 1st movie was racing/slowing down, 2nd movie was spies, maybe the 3rd movie would be full blown romcom. I thought it would have been funny and interesting to see each movie be a different genre but with the same characters.

I think the aging thing might be something like the best movie ever, Robots. It might be about being out of date and falling apart and I don't know anymore.
I feel like a lot of people in this comment section are missing the point. It's not that the themes or settings or the story of the movies aren't car related (it's called Cars for goodness sake), the problem is that these themes and stories didn't needed to be told by sentient cars. The conflicts and themes of the movie don't revolve around the characters being cars, and the writers clearly didn't think too much about the implications of that. Like schaff said: Pixar has always been about showcasing secret worlds, and how these secret worlds react to the human world. Take the human part out of the equation and there isn't that much to work with, the characters aren't that unique or interesting to look out for or get invested in because they are essentially the humans, they have human aspirations like you and me and they live in a society that resembles ours. I like to make a comparison with BlueSky's Robots, in this movie the robots are essentially the humans but, unlike Cars, the themes and story and setting, all of them are tied exclusively to the idea of the characters being robots. I think it is a good watch and the difference is very clear between how much thought they put in the worlds behind these two movies.

It’s pretty simple, cars are cool, kids live cars, it’s fun to watch, it had never been done before
In other words, Pixar sold out. Also, sentient vehicles have been done before

Cars may be a bad franchise, but it has the greatest merch out of all the Pixar movies, the diecast look so cool.
if the cars franchise has a million fans, I am one of them. If the cars franchise has 10 fans I am one of them. If the cars franchise has one fan, that one is me. If the cars franchise has zero fans, then I am dead.
What they meant by McQueen "getting old" in the third one, in my opinion, is that the world of racing had evolved and it was all about high-tech, as shown by the antagonist and the training sequences, so he was obsolete.
I like Movie Concepts.
I mean cars do get old in our world. You don't keep a car for very long, they wear out. Lighting is supposed to be an athlete and usually athletes retire at their late thirties so it makes sense.
He'd be...
_Worthleeeess_
Also think to the olympics. The older veteran who's still at the top of their game, but still can't compete with the new crowd, because the newer competitors get stronger and crazier every year
Buuuuuuut why didn't McQueen ever try to like change his engine or something, it's not like there's a rule against that. All of his "training" was pretty much useless for increasing speed
I think the "how can you tell hes aged?!?!" thing is really stupid Im sorry. The entire plot of the movie is that hes become surrounded by newer and faster cars that *look* sleeker and newer and faster. Its very clear that hes an older model by this point. Its less about how hes "aged" and about how hes outdated compared to his peers
+ hes an athlete. Athletes retire very young
and cars age. he doesnt (lmao) but even if they were all similar models he could have been old.
@@sydssolanumsamsys Well to be fair, as a drivetrain of a car ages, while subtle; Loss of power starts to become an ever increasing problem exponentially getting worse with age. Aside from a worn engine and transmission, we can assume his suspension is showing wear and tear (bones lmao) as he isn’t quiet as agile and he was previously. So while the age thing isn’t apparent it’s showing signs.
The movie kinda explains it by showing the improvements like Jackson storm
@@gustavrodriguez910 yes ty for the breakdown
The one thing I can think of that is exclusive to sentient cars is that each person is essentially made for their job often times, so there can be conflict when a racing car doesn't want to race or a cop car doesn't want to police. Neither of things reallt happen in my memory of the series.
The first movie is amazing and I think it still holds up today. I pretend the other two don’t exist

Claiming this trilogy has no memable moments in it and then goes on to display a bunch of them sums up all you need to know about this video before you even watch it
But in Cars 3 it was shown that Lightning was getting older not because of him looking different, but the racers around him being newer model cars. You can still keep older cars in top shape while them also being outdated.

7:27 to answer your questions a car can get old by being used for so long so hard like a race car and it doesn't have to be beat up that's why on Cars 3 they made futuristic cars to make lightning look old without making him beat up and Doc Hudson died ( really because his voice actor died but just to fill the plot hole ) because his parts may have been discontinued for example my parents own a food truck from the 90's for real and we can't find legit pieces sometimes. And we know Doc is older than that.
1. the cars being sentient does play an important part in a way. lightning mcqueen is older, meaning hes and old man mentally but as a car his parts are old and outdated compared to jackson storm and all of the other new racers, and doc wouldve also faced the same thing if he hadn't had his big crash and kept racing
2. the locations are kind of like the cars worlds verions of real locations and will be noticed by car people especially
3. doc probably died because he couldn't find replacement parts, because as time goes on, the old cars get old and so do their parts, and less parts for them will be manufactured and the ones that are still around cost more, but also think of this as when our bones become weaker and all of those old people have metal plates in their back, and also those cost a decent bit
4. fast car that make cool loud noise make man happy

According to transitive property, Tim McGraw's emotional rocker "Highway Don't Care" is a warning that life itself does not care about you. But he does, he does.
Relatable
And you are the accident that happened on it
Btw Lightning getting old can be seen in racing every time new dynamic cars come on scene , "Car of tomorrow" Nascar or after Benetton cars hit F1 . The stories in Cars franchise line up with Automotive themes . James bond and several movies feature spies and intrigue at races and was theme of Cars2
Cars was based on creator road trip with his family
Cars3 based on racing as new tech and drivers come in , the old are phased out .
These are solid easy to pick out things . Planes tried to do the same .
3:54-3:58 Me when an ad pops up when I want to watch a video.
"How did doc Hudson die?"
Either rust or some sort of engine failure and an inability to find parts (like in planes 2) since the Hudson company hasn't existed since like the 50s or 60s
I absolutely LOVE that you are referencing Planes 2 as if that is a movie any of us have had the privilege to know of its existence.
Planes 1 was not a good movie, but at least it wasn't terrible. However, it was forgotten. Planes 2...well, it was pretty bad. And yes, I watched both of these movies.

@@hgrubb3317 yes and he blew his engine which is like a heart attack
in 10 years people are gonna be saying the exact same thing about Elemental.
I think the 3rd Cars movie wasn't about Lightning McQueen being old, but rather "outdated". He has to keep up with all the new new, faster sports cars, and you could argue that it ties into them being cars (or you know, it could've been about a human being too old). And the reason I consider Cars 3 to be "the good one" is because I think it has an interesting message and tells the story in an interesting way. Plus it looks really nice. But like, is it as good as any of the Toy Storys or Ratatouille? Pfft, no, but it's good for a CARS movie, you know?
Also, as someone who did go see the movie in theatres, I can tell you it's because of one reason: little kids who like cars. I went with my family to see it bc of my nephews and I was 11 so I had to go with my sappy family who don't understand what good movies are (and I mean that in the nicest way possible).
But that feels similar to Toy Story being about Woody having to get used to Buzz as the new toy. I think any creative ideas Cars can have will be similar to Toy Story

And to practice light sources reflecting off shiny surfaces.
Wasn't there an old Disney cartoon that showcased the live of a car between different owners, how it felt to belong to a loving family, how it felt to be broken, how it felt to be sold at a used car salesman's, how it felt to be stolen, etc....
Yes. It’s called Susie the Little Blue Coupe.
Ok tbh I liked the third cars movie. In hindsight, it may not be that memorable. HOWEVER, does EVERY featured film have to be memorable? Some of them are just fond memories you vaguely remember seeing, which is enough for me.
I do honestly prefer genuine art, but even simpler movies are their own form of art. Maybe less impactful, but they still leave an impact nonetheless.
While watching this video I thought: "if the locations and story gotta revolve a logical point of the plot and be relate to them (toys, dragon-human, etc), why does kung fu panda works then? Theyre animals, living in a human society, doing human-only things. But the realization came, kung fu panda isnt about them being animals, is about them being KUNG FU FIGHTERS first and then being animals. As we see in the trilogy, the animal part of them is used just in po, with the extinction of the pandas, as a plot point. All the other characters' animal parts are only there to enchance their human attributes, the fierce lady is a tiger, the jokester is a monkey, the old and wise master is a turtle.
Kung fu panda works cause it revolves around the Kung fu part instead of the panda part, allowing scenes, scenaries and stories that are related to kung fu warriors and heroism.
I'd imagine someone's defense will be like "its Dreamworks, we can give them a pass on logic since its not Disney/Pixar."
