3:00 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 He isn't literally an old man; he is, instead, an outdated model being replaced by far more advanced technology than him.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?
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
*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)*
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
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
@@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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
The existence of the pope mobile implies that Catholicism exists in the Cars universe, which implies that there was a car Jesus who died on the cross for our vehicular sins.
*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. *Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.* Edit: *ć̶̫̓ ̵͇̫͒a̷̟̎͝ ̶̡̡͌r̶̛̥̅ ̵̩͔͘s̴̺̩͛̂*
This is beyond words. I have no way to express the feeling, which is somewhere between happiness and a slow painful death. This is the most underrated comment of the 21st century.
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.
Fact: Cars 3 had a deleted flashback scene where Lightning and Doc were having a race when Doc started to collapse and die. It was deleted because it was too sad. Edit: Thx for the likes 💚
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
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.
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.
@@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
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
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
@@sheko1515 He's got alot more points then just that it's universe dosen't make sense and though I love Cars he's got a point Plus it's his opinion, trust me he knows what "unironic enjoyment" is
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
@@rommix0 Cars age faster when they're not used. Just the same way that a person who sits and does nothing will grow fat and their body decays. A car that sits without being driven experiences more rust and corrosion, gets eaten by miss and bugs and rodents, rubber parts decay, fluids separate and deteriorate, etc. Cars suffer from neglect more than all but the most outrageous abuse. Not unlike a child.
In defense of Cars, this is a universe where: * Toys come to life with no explanation * Bugs have their own utopia * Monsters portal jump/time travel to collect screams to power their world * Fish can swim all across the ocean and survive, have real estate, have short-term memory loss, male clown fish don’t turn female after their wives die, and fish can apparently drive trucks * 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 * Humans are living during the age of the dinosaurs which never happened * A boy enters the world of the dead by playing a guitar * Technology exists in a medieval, fantasy world * The idea behind your personality is through mentoring from a past soul, your soul can transfer into animals, you can have a pulse when you’re dead apparently, and the very first souls never got mentoring * Sea monsters can turn into humans with no explanation * A girl turns into a panda due to a family curse * Traveling at light speed can result in two different timelines All of this, but you need an explanation on talking cars?
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 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?
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
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.
@@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. I really enjoyed the animation quality in 3 though it’s amazing how the technology has improved, Idc how old I am Cars is one of my childhood favourites so I’ll always love those movies. ❤️
@@fogernelion1949 I suspect the OP's point was that the video says that Toy Story is conceptually sound "because toys are alive" and Cars is not conceptually sound because "cars aren't alive in real life" and this is a flawed argument as you already have noted.
IMO, the first movie Cars movie is an unironic masterpiece! Shit on the sequels, spin-offs, and TV shows all you want, but the first movie is just a really warm, cozy, nostalgic movie about an asshole having a turnaround! 🏎🏆🏁
Cars 2 does genuinely have a reason for the characters to be cars. It's so upsetting. The idea of a gas being used as a secret explosive could only exist as such a big threat IN cars
"Why are they cars?" Little kids like toy cars. Oh look a movie where your cars have personalities. Now the little kid can connect more with their favorite toy cars! Just my theory.
Same reason toy story is about toys. To sell toys. Inside Out was good but I doubt it cracked the number of toy sales Cars did. I don't think I've ever met a kid who loved it and wanted to be an emotion when they grew up, but you know how many kids love Cars? You're just shitting on something you don't really get that was never really for you to get in the first place.
Another thing about toy story is that they even have a reason to have a personality because what do you do with toys as a kid? You give them their own personalities
I will say cars can have their own personalities. Mine most certainly does. She can be a real brat, acts up alot, prefers to sit than be driven unless its been a few days and she needs a blowout, and i have to make deals with her to do things so she gets me where i need to go (usually getting me back home)
2:53 uh… there isn’t one, but I think it’s more interesting that they are sentient cars. Why do people care whether or not the setting ties into the theme of a story?
I know right? Like yeah this story could have been told with humans but just because it isn't doesn't make the movie bad! He says the themes aren't car related which.. What? So racing isn't car related? And he seems to forget that the racers needed gas and Lighting BLEW his tire It pisses me off when you got a channel with a big audience saying bad things about this movie and then fans feels like they're right and again pisses me off
"how do sentient cars enhance the world or setting or characters?" ill do you one better how do sentient cars RUIN the world or setting or characters? they dont ruin any of those simple as even in the third movie with the "how do cars age?" question, cars in real life wear out and eventually stop working, hudson is an old ass car and probably the only one of his kind so replacement parts would be scarce if they even exist
@@brightredmogul1912 Not to mention Doc died I understand that it raises questions like where do Cars come from but I view it as a fun animated movie for the kids to enjoy NOT EVERYTHING needs to be explained as we all know People really need to back off on stuff it doesn't matter what the answer is because we get a good movie with life lessons but according to this guy Cars is bad because it's not about humans Could you imagine how bad the movie would actually be if the humans were actually involved? It's so much better with the Cars having they're own world. Isn't it creativity? The thing most movies lack these days You just made my point on how this movie is amazing
Even then they will have some rules applied like tires so that further destroys his point I almost want to make a video explaining how this review is so bad and makes no sense but his fans will probably attack me and cause some drama over my disagreement to this
They always show these cars living in complex environments yet I still don't understand how the hell they can even do basic tasks like picking up a brick.
Yeah, the plot revolved around the world becoming more advanced and leaving him behind, not that he himself was aging. Just how Doc was an older car and that communicated his "age" or whatever. I'm not that invested in the Cars universe but that was s u p e r obvious.
Props for making the comment before I needed to. Machines get old and outdated, and eventually break. I guess I was wrong for assuming that was common knowledge. I agree with the video that you can't really tell at a glance Lightning is "older" in the 3rd movie, but that's because you're supposed to infer that from the story's context. Like all the times they call him old, and all the times he worries about not keeping up with newer competitors. Which is the whole movie.
Why couldn’t lightning get a new engine or better tires or something? Cars can get better parts for themselves and there are plenty of ways to improve an old car.
@@pjdixon6199 The problem is that brings into effect the Ship of Theseus theory. If a car keeps getting its parts replaced and eventually gets all its parts replaced, is it still the same sentient being, or is it a totally new one? Did Doc get all his parts replaced and become a totally new person? What if someone managed to bring together most of his old body parts and rebuild him; would that be Doc? And if it is considered to be Doc and/or has Doc's sentience, would it be considered a medical procedure or straight-up necromancy?
@@DetectiveNyx They explored that a bit in Planes 2. I'm sure they could've pushed the concept a little further in Cars 3 as well (heck, maybe even Cars 2, and there's even a deleted scene from Cars 1 exploring that a bit too), but they didn't take as many risks as Planes in that regard. Which is quite surprising to me.
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.
I just want to say the only thing about Toy Story 4 that upset me a bit was that Bonnie previously promised Andy she'd look after them, but she tossed Woody aside later 😭 I know she's a kid and that's what they do, but damn, still hurt me
there's so much wrong with toy story 4 but like as a big fan of toy story that weirdly felt like such a betrayel, because of how contrived it is. I want to also say "I know she's just a kid" but it's so clearly a made up aspect just to prompt the 4th movie (which is just a cash grab) that it detracts from the quality of the toy story 3 ending which is the worst sin imaginable.
@@mr.preston1632 there's so many things I was just listing my main reason. it is a shame because the animation is fucking gorgeous and it makes me sad that so much work went into a movie with an ill conceived story.
And, it makes sense that Woody realises it's pointless to try to make Bonnie happy. She promised she'd look after him, and then lost interest in him. It becomes obvious his purpose of being a toy left with Andy, and that he'd have to forever fight to get that same kind of attention from Bonnie. I'm honestly glad Toy Story 4 was made, even if so many people were against it. It shows that it's okay to not fulfil the function you were "built" for. Woody found a new life he never thought possible. It's inspiring.
I think that the original Cars movie wasn't about taking a premise like "what if cars were alive" and running with it. It was a love letter to the old highway system and old Route 66, en era of American culture that was uniquely American, and that ended far too quickly.
Exactly! I feel like so many people miss this key idea about the first Cars movie. I loved the original cars as a kid, and so did my parents. Because they loved the homage it was paying to that old, classic American highway culture and the attention it called to those old towns that flourished from it but soon deteriorated once it left our society.
One thing above all else is it was designed to appeal to NASCAR fans. It’s literally a NASCAR movie where the main aspect of a NASCAR race, the cars, are the main characters. The human aspect is removed entirely.
Yeah, I feel the same way about a lot of movies I like too, people complain about how much people like them when it’s because of THEM that they get more criticism than they deserve. Such is the case with (the majority of, since some of its films like Captain Marvel is painfully average) Marvel Cinematic Universe.
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.
Are you talking about when they turned that car at the start into a visible metal cube for all the children to see, or are you talking about when they made that muscle car speed that fast that he blew up, I'm sure that in Care 2 there's more counts of murder which I've not noted.
Schaff talking about how the cars being cars serves no purpose made me realize how solid the concept of Thomas and Friends is. The original concept was literally "If an engine had a face, what would it say?" The first few seasons of the show use this concept wonderfully by keeping everything grounded in reality. The stories revolve around things like engines forgetting to pull certain trains, engines refusing to pull freight trains and getting in trouble as a result, certain railways shutting down, etc.
@@alex.g7317 It’s fairly easy to make a show about anthropomorphic animals without thinking too much about how everything else works. The same can't be said for vehicles.
As an astronomy Nerd, we do not know what object killed the dinosaurs. Both asteroids and comets can impact Earth, and they have roughly the same effect. If the impactor had water, and some of that water had been captured in cristals, like zircon cristal, and some of those cristals had survived the impact, we could collect them and analyse the deuterium concentration of the water. As the deuterium concentration is different in asteroids and comets, we could then know what impacted the Earth. But that's a really big "If" and I don't think such a study was ever attempted. Oh god I'm giving this way too much thought.
The only reason people like Cars is purley for childhood nostalgia reasons and you can't change my mind. Its so clear. Theres no other franchise out there that creates more questions than the cars films. I could ask 100 questions and thats not an exaggeration
@@thebottomtext Here are as many as I could think off 😂. Not quite a 100 but close enough... Why do they have tounges? How does their whole anatomy work? Why do they have car and human parts? How do they hold anything? How do they construct buildings if they don't have hands? Are the cars born or built? If born, how does that even happen? If built, why don't they build any kind of cars they need or want? They eat & drink so do they go need the toilet? If so, how do they go to the toilet? Do they have organs? If they're cars, why do they have both roads and paths/sidewalks? Why do they drink diesel and have a diesel pump? Why not just have one or another? Do they feel pain? When they blow a tire or something, how does it not hurt them because it's part of their body? Can cars naturally reproduce? Do they have reproductive organs? Theres children cars, so do the cars grow up? They're made from metal, so how do they grow? If they have organs, do smaller cars have smaller brains? If they have different sized brains are some cars less intelligent than others? Do they have windscreen wipers? Do they cry? Do cars get charged for speeding? Surely speeding is the same as humans running really fast? Why do the "animals" look the same as the cars? It's like flies looking like a tiny version of a human. Why are the tractors like cows but they don't help grow crops? How do they drink out of glasses without hands? How do they hang things on the wall? Do the cars have to take care of the boats if they're permanently stuck in the ocean? How do they use their side mirrors when there eyes are past them? Surely planes never crash because they're in control themselves? If they did crash does the plan itself die? Wtf is the situation with that car in cars 2 that has nothing inside her? You can see her steering wheel? Why do they have sofas, with just a back and arm rests? They don't have a back or arms? Do they have a physical currency? If so, where do they keep their money, they dont have pockets? Do they have illnesses and diseases? Do they have doctors? Do they mechanics? What's the difference between them? Which do they see if they get poorly? If cars are the only beings on earth, how is the earth not insanely polluted? Surely all the cars would die if they have lungs?
TL:DR; Cars is something of an acquired taste. I grew up with these movies, and I'm a car guy myself. I believe that Cars as a franchise was made as sort of an analogy to aspects of car culture. The first movie was something of a wink and nod to NASCAR, with Darrel Waltrip, Richard Petty, Dale Earnhardt Jr, and of course: Paul Newman lending their voices into the movie. All of these men were drivers for NASCAR at one point, or if not that, then revered racing drivers in their own right. Cars 2, the Trainwreck that it was, was a spy thriller, and a reference to spy movies and their relationship with cars (Finn McMissile is a goddamn Aston Martin, and that's as obvious a bond reference you can get) Idk, I still have a soft spot for these.
cars was my movie when i was younger. it was the movie that each and everyday after kindergarten i would watch it. whenever it was done i would ask my dad to put it back in and watch it again. i had all the toys of each car that i would play with. it may not be the best movie but it is still a movie i hold dear to my heart.
This film is literally a mouth older than me. It don't know what I like about it and I agree that there world was not very well built, but at the end of the day it's still a good film I watch as a kid.
Even when I was a kid watching Cars, I always felt like the cars could easily have just been humans. In every scene, I would ask myself, "how would this scene be different if these were humans instead of cars?" And the answer, in just about every instance, was "It wouldn't be." If you replaced the toys in Toy Story with humans, the story wouldn't work, it would be a completely different movie.
I mean, you could make a movie about humans living among giants but the giants just think they're inanimate objects but will probably eat them if they think otherwise and so they have to remain still in their sight. But then the giants start playing with them and the humans develop a weird kind of stockholm syndrome where they like getting played with. Then a few generations later its just the accepted norm for giants to play with humans and humans get their purpose from it. Yeah, I'm really stretching this concept.
Shift the story to one about veichles not liveing up to their intended purpose. Racecars race, tow trucks tow. What if a racecar couldn't race? Would said car have a identy crisis? What other options would he have. A human who cant race could do something else. But a purpose built racecar? Who other options does he have?
Cars 1 is actually exceptional. The story is well-written, inspiring, original, appealing to both adults and kids, and the animation holds up well for its age. It works very well.
True. While the sequels may not have been that great, I will always contend that the first is a great film, and definitely a better film than The Good Dinosaur.
Nick Rynearson if I had to guess, 1.) Nemo couldn't reasonably get taken away by anything except another human (or perhaps large sea creature?) Which would cause some weird problems (I.e "what are the motives?") 2.) They'd have a boat, which would render the whole underwater world and most of the plot pointless 3.) Assuming they didn't have a boat, they probably wouldn't be able to go all the way to Australia for the climax 4.) Nemo probably wouldn't meet the rest of the tank gang (though you could likely cut it out) 5.) The end would be completely different
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.
Both of those things play a part in the story. Mqueen has to try harder and harder now that there are new race cars threatening to take his place. And his crash is a callback to how Doc Hudson’s career was ended because of his crash. Mqueen is afraid that he will be replaced just like doc was and that causes him to consider retiring so that he can choose to end racing instead of being forced to
The best thing about the Cars franchise is the joke Millhouse makes from Lisa Goes Gaga where he says he's terrified of the cars from Cars because "if gasoline is their food then why do they have teeth?"
@@ivosamuelgiosadominguez6649 I just rewatched it the other day, and I think it's criminally underrated. Yes, the story isn't the most unique but its still enjoyable. Not Pixar's best, but certainly not Pixar's worst - I don't think it deserves the hate it gets.
I don’t really have a problem with the world building thing. I mean, in kung fu panda the animals are humans essentially. You just kinda ignore that. Idk
There's thematic significance to that, though. Nothing about the Kung-Fu Panda REQUIRE it, but it helps the overall theming with aspects such as Po's feeling of otherness.
Why cars isn't part of the Pixar theory: the pizza planet truck. The pizza planet truck can't exist in the same universe where every car is sentient. Everything comes down to the pizza planet truck.
I could literally watch any anime series and see Tokyo, and when it comes to car-based stuff, there's literally a movie called "The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift" which is basically the Tokyo parts of Cars 2 applied to the whole movie.
Old age: parts wearing out, outdated technology. The only reason he's really getting worse is because other cars are getting better, hence all his friends around him retiring. This also happens to be a problem UNIQUE TO SENTIENT CARS. Also asking how he's aging is like asking why a car from the 80s doesn't quite have the same pep in it's step than it did when it was built, or why you still don't see it race today. Car parts have the ability to wear out just like human parts do. But most importantly it's stressed in cars 3 that he's not "old" at all, but instead he just can't keep up. The only person that specifically calls him old is Cruz, and that's mostly just her teasing him and getting under his skin.
@@j_viking3268 I mean, Toy Story 1's idea of "my kid likes the new toy more than me" is literally just "my friend got a new friend he likes more than me" so it's not like Toy Story is inherently stories unique to toys, they can easily be turned into human stories that don't change the overall plot point.
Nah y’all are overthinking this way too much. It’s not that deep. Cars is one of the best franchises of all time, and Cars (1) is one of the best animated movies of all time.
@@imthatjay Considering that kid's movies have competed against "adult movies" before, like "Mary Poppins" losing to "My Fair Lady", "ET" losing to "Gandhi", and "Beauty and the Beast" losing to "Silence of the Lambs", and "Wall-E" being voted as the best movie of the 2000's by over a hundred film critics and historians, I don't really see the dichotomy here
the reason Lightning is getting old is because he's being outshined by the newer models. He was great in the day, but he can't compete with the new. They repeat that concept a million times, how did you not get that?
I’m just disappointed that, in all three movies, we never saw a car wipe it’s tears with its windshield wipers.

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?

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

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.

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

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.

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.

* 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

* The voices in your head are apparently their own sentient beings
* Humans are living during the age of the dinosaurs which never happened

And to practice light sources reflecting off shiny surfaces.
Cars 2 does genuinely have a reason for the characters to be cars. It's so upsetting. The idea of a gas being used as a secret explosive could only exist as such a big threat IN cars
"How did Doc Hudson die?"
He didn't want to be in Cars 2 so he drove off a cliff.
He went to the junkyard and used for scrap
That’s quality
That makes way more sense

So would that be self destruction or suicide?

Cars 3 is literally just Rocky 4 minus the Anti-USSR semitic
So its worse
The one setting where 'i must break you" would completely deflate as a threat.

"Why are they cars?"
Little kids like toy cars. Oh look a movie where your cars have personalities. Now the little kid can connect more with their favorite toy cars!
Just my theory.
That's literally the reason. Along with the potential toy sales.
A film theory
This is true in every single way
Same reason toy story is about toys. To sell toys. Inside Out was good but I doubt it cracked the number of toy sales Cars did. I don't think I've ever met a kid who loved it and wanted to be an emotion when they grew up, but you know how many kids love Cars? You're just shitting on something you don't really get that was never really for you to get in the first place.

Another thing about toy story is that they even have a reason to have a personality because what do you do with toys as a kid?
You give them their own personalities
flob ll I suppose some people give their cars their own personalities as well (really not saying Cars is as good of an idea as Toy Story tho lol)
@Paul Martin stop
@JT the problem is that humans don't exist in that world so the cars aren't toys.
Also we as kids hope that could be alive and play with them since we consider them as friends. But I don't see anyone wanting their car to be alive
I will say cars can have their own personalities. Mine most certainly does.

People really need to back off on stuff it doesn't matter what the answer is because we get a good movie with life lessons but according to this guy Cars is bad because it's not about humans
Could you imagine how bad the movie would actually be if the humans were actually involved? It's so much better with the Cars having they're own world.
Isn't it creativity? The thing most movies lack these days
You just made my point on how this movie is amazing
Even then they will have some rules applied like tires so that further destroys his point

Man, you do need to understand a simple thing:
Cars don't age, they get outdated by the newer ones, and that is what make them "old".
cant forget about mileage tho

I think the reason lightning was old was because there were the new, better, faster cars. I thought that was pretty obvious.
Yeah, the plot revolved around the world becoming more advanced and leaving him behind, not that he himself was aging. Just how Doc was an older car and that communicated his "age" or whatever. I'm not that invested in the Cars universe but that was s u p e r obvious.
Props for making the comment before I needed to.
Machines get old and outdated, and eventually break. I guess I was wrong for assuming that was common knowledge.
I agree with the video that you can't really tell at a glance Lightning is "older" in the 3rd movie, but that's because you're supposed to infer that from the story's context. Like all the times they call him old, and all the times he worries about not keeping up with newer competitors. Which is the whole movie.
Why couldn’t lightning get a new engine or better tires or something?
Cars can get better parts for themselves and there are plenty of ways to improve an old car.
@@pjdixon6199 The problem is that brings into effect the Ship of Theseus theory. If a car keeps getting its parts replaced and eventually gets all its parts replaced, is it still the same sentient being, or is it a totally new one? Did Doc get all his parts replaced and become a totally new person? What if someone managed to bring together most of his old body parts and rebuild him; would that be Doc? And if it is considered to be Doc and/or has Doc's sentience, would it be considered a medical procedure or straight-up necromancy?
@@DetectiveNyx They explored that a bit in Planes 2. I'm sure they could've pushed the concept a little further in Cars 3 as well (heck, maybe even Cars 2, and there's even a deleted scene from Cars 1 exploring that a bit too), but they didn't take as many risks as Planes in that regard. Which is quite surprising to me.

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.
I just want to say the only thing about Toy Story 4 that upset me a bit was that Bonnie previously promised Andy she'd look after them, but she tossed Woody aside later 😭 I know she's a kid and that's what they do, but damn, still hurt me
there's so much wrong with toy story 4 but like as a big fan of toy story that weirdly felt like such a betrayel, because of how contrived it is. I want to also say "I know she's just a kid" but it's so clearly a made up aspect just to prompt the 4th movie (which is just a cash grab) that it detracts from the quality of the toy story 3 ending which is the worst sin imaginable.
@@slightlyoffensivedadjokes so one problem is enough to ruin the movie
@@mr.preston1632 there's so many things I was just listing my main reason. it is a shame because the animation is fucking gorgeous and it makes me sad that so much work went into a movie with an ill conceived story.
And, it makes sense that Woody realises it's pointless to try to make Bonnie happy. She promised she'd look after him, and then lost interest in him. It becomes obvious his purpose of being a toy left with Andy, and that he'd have to forever fight to get that same kind of attention from Bonnie. I'm honestly glad Toy Story 4 was made, even if so many people were against it. It shows that it's okay to not fulfil the function you were "built" for. Woody found a new life he never thought possible. It's inspiring.
@@cynicat74 that was beautiful
I think that the original Cars movie wasn't about taking a premise like "what if cars were alive" and running with it. It was a love letter to the old highway system and old Route 66, en era of American culture that was uniquely American, and that ended far too quickly.
and it was originally supposed to be about an electric car trying to fit in with a gas-powered society
Exactly! I feel like so many people miss this key idea about the first Cars movie. I loved the original cars as a kid, and so did my parents. Because they loved the homage it was paying to that old, classic American highway culture and the attention it called to those old towns that flourished from it but soon deteriorated once it left our society.
One thing above all else is it was designed to appeal to NASCAR fans. It’s literally a NASCAR movie where the main aspect of a NASCAR race, the cars, are the main characters. The human aspect is removed entirely.

Such is the case with (the majority of, since some of its films like Captain Marvel is painfully average) Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Its how opinions work
@Mustiboi Salman I still get some nostalgic enjoyment from it
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.
But you gotta admit, the murder in Cars 2 was slightly shocking
Henry Yarbrough there was a murder? :o
I didn’t watch it xD
I really did NOT expect that from Cars when I was a kid. That was some deep shit right there
I remember seeing that scene when I was like ten and being SO disturbed by it. wtf pixar?
My guess is that they were trying to incorporate the spy theme by doing that
Are you talking about when they turned that car at the start into a visible metal cube for all the children to see, or are you talking about when they made that muscle car speed that fast that he blew up, I'm sure that in Care 2 there's more counts of murder which I've not noted.
Schaff talking about how the cars being cars serves no purpose made me realize how solid the concept of Thomas and Friends is. The original concept was literally "If an engine had a face, what would it say?" The first few seasons of the show use this concept wonderfully by keeping everything grounded in reality. The stories revolve around things like engines forgetting to pull certain trains, engines refusing to pull freight trains and getting in trouble as a result, certain railways shutting down, etc.

Both asteroids and comets can impact Earth, and they have roughly the same effect.
If the impactor had water, and some of that water had been captured in cristals, like zircon cristal, and some of those cristals had survived the impact, we could collect them and analyse the deuterium concentration of the water. As the deuterium concentration is different in asteroids and comets, we could then know what impacted the Earth.

Theres no other franchise out there that creates more questions than the cars films. I could ask 100 questions and thats not an exaggeration

Why do they have tounges?
How does their whole anatomy work?
Why do they have car and human parts?
How do they hold anything?
How do they construct buildings if they don't have hands?
Are the cars born or built?
If born, how does that even happen?
If built, why don't they build any kind of cars they need or want?
They eat & drink so do they go need the toilet?
If so, how do they go to the toilet?
Do they have organs?
If they're cars, why do they have both roads and paths/sidewalks?
Why do they drink diesel and have a diesel pump?
Why not just have one or another?
Do they feel pain?
When they blow a tire or something, how does it not hurt them because it's part of their body?
Can cars naturally reproduce?
Do they have reproductive organs?
Theres children cars, so do the cars grow up?
They're made from metal, so how do they grow?
If they have organs, do smaller cars have smaller brains?
If they have different sized brains are some cars less intelligent than others?
Do they have windscreen wipers?
Do they cry?
Do cars get charged for speeding?
Surely speeding is the same as humans running really fast?
Why do the "animals" look the same as the cars? It's like flies looking like a tiny version of a human.
Why are the tractors like cows but they don't help grow crops?
How do they drink out of glasses without hands?
How do they hang things on the wall?
Do the cars have to take care of the boats if they're permanently stuck in the ocean?
How do they use their side mirrors when there eyes are past them?
Surely planes never crash because they're in control themselves?
If they did crash does the plan itself die?
Wtf is the situation with that car in cars 2 that has nothing inside her? You can see her steering wheel?
Why do they have sofas, with just a back and arm rests? They don't have a back or arms?
Do they have a physical currency?
If so, where do they keep their money, they dont have pockets?
Do they have illnesses and diseases?
Do they have doctors?
Do they mechanics?
What's the difference between them? Which do they see if they get poorly?
If cars are the only beings on earth, how is the earth not insanely polluted? Surely all the cars would die if they have lungs?
Cars 2 is nostalgic for me. Dosnt mean its good, its just nostalgic to me.
That's maturity right there.
I had a similar experience with revisiting PK Out Of The Shadows recently.
Same
Same! It’s the only cars movie I remember lol
samw
Same. I know it's a bad movie objectively, but I still have a lot of nostalgia for it.
in 10 years people are gonna be saying the exact same thing about Elemental.
TL:DR; Cars is something of an acquired taste. I grew up with these movies, and I'm a car guy myself. I believe that Cars as a franchise was made as sort of an analogy to aspects of car culture.
The first movie was something of a wink and nod to NASCAR, with Darrel Waltrip, Richard Petty, Dale Earnhardt Jr, and of course: Paul Newman lending their voices into the movie. All of these men were drivers for NASCAR at one point, or if not that, then revered racing drivers in their own right.
Cars 2, the Trainwreck that it was, was a spy thriller, and a reference to spy movies and their relationship with cars (Finn McMissile is a goddamn Aston Martin, and that's as obvious a bond reference you can get)
Idk, I still have a soft spot for these.
The first one.. despite its flaws, where it took place... felt like a love letter to the world of stock car racing... NASCAR
My idea exactly.
I rewatched the first movie a while ago. I loved the atmosphere like the "Life is a highway" part
That's valid dude. I liked the first one as a kid, and while I understand people criticisms of the movie, I just... can't make myself hate it.
The mia and tia miatas is the best pun in existence
cars was my movie when i was younger. it was the movie that each and everyday after kindergarten i would watch it. whenever it was done i would ask my dad to put it back in and watch it again. i had all the toys of each car that i would play with. it may not be the best movie but it is still a movie i hold dear to my heart.
I used to watch it everyday also lmao every morning and evening
Same im watching cars now

This film is literally a mouth older than me. It don't know what I like about it and I agree that there world was not very well built, but at the end of the day it's still a good film I watch as a kid.
Same here
Even when I was a kid watching Cars, I always felt like the cars could easily have just been humans. In every scene, I would ask myself, "how would this scene be different if these were humans instead of cars?" And the answer, in just about every instance, was "It wouldn't be."
If you replaced the toys in Toy Story with humans, the story wouldn't work, it would be a completely different movie.
Wow we have the same mindset haha
I mean, you could make a movie about humans living among giants but the giants just think they're inanimate objects but will probably eat them if they think otherwise and so they have to remain still in their sight. But then the giants start playing with them and the humans develop a weird kind of stockholm syndrome where they like getting played with. Then a few generations later its just the accepted norm for giants to play with humans and humans get their purpose from it. Yeah, I'm really stretching this concept.

Been my favourite movie since I was 3 when I first watched it. Theres so much nostalgia with it for me and every guy around my age
True. It's not like the universe has to make complete sense. It's a fictional movie with fictional characters.
Cars 1 is actually exceptional. The story is well-written, inspiring, original, appealing to both adults and kids, and the animation holds up well for its age. It works very well.
Cars 1 is a very good movie for me
It's just Cars not Cars 1 and I agree

True. While the sequels may not have been that great, I will always contend that the first is a great film, and definitely a better film than The Good Dinosaur.
Technically you can make toy story with humans but you would have to change the age restriction
Same goes to Finding Memo, actually why were they fish in that movie?
Nick Rynearson if I had to guess,
1.) Nemo couldn't reasonably get taken away by anything except another human (or perhaps large sea creature?)
Which would cause some weird problems (I.e "what are the motives?")
2.) They'd have a boat, which would render the whole underwater world and most of the plot pointless
3.) Assuming they didn't have a boat, they probably wouldn't be able to go all the way to Australia for the climax
4.) Nemo probably wouldn't meet the rest of the tank gang (though you could likely cut it out)
5.) The end would be completely different
@@Kerrmunism nah, make it nemo is kidnapped to be a child slave or child soldier, his father desperately trying to save him from the captive.
Sabastian Anugraha but then its not a kids movie anymore and the point is lost
MMMMMMMM DONT LIKE WHAT THIS COMMENT IS SUGGESTING
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.
Both of those things play a part in the story. Mqueen has to try harder and harder now that there are new race cars threatening to take his place. And his crash is a callback to how Doc Hudson’s career was ended because of his crash. Mqueen is afraid that he will be replaced just like doc was and that causes him to consider retiring so that he can choose to end racing instead of being forced to
The best thing about the Cars franchise is the joke Millhouse makes from Lisa Goes Gaga where he says he's terrified of the cars from Cars because "if gasoline is their food then why do they have teeth?"

Old age: parts wearing out, outdated technology. The only reason he's really getting worse is because other cars are getting better, hence all his friends around him retiring. This also happens to be a problem UNIQUE TO SENTIENT CARS. Also asking how he's aging is like asking why a car from the 80s doesn't quite have the same pep in it's step than it did when it was built, or why you still don't see it race today. Car parts have the ability to wear out just like human parts do. But most importantly it's stressed in cars 3 that he's not "old" at all, but instead he just can't keep up. The only person that specifically calls him old is Cruz, and that's mostly just her teasing him and getting under his skin.
Old age, breaking down and being forced to retire before you’re ready is a problem for literally every professional athlete

the reason Lightning is getting old is because he's being outshined by the newer models. He was great in the day, but he can't compete with the new. They repeat that concept a million times, how did you not get that?
finally someone gets the entire plot of the series.
Then....how do cars get made?
@@lukelblitz3627 yeah like really how? Are they created in a factory? Do they chose what kind of model they are gonna be? Is they rapidly evolving?
Honestly, he comes across as one of those incessantly smug 'intellectual' types
@@lukelblitz3627 Probably a factory??
