Cars on the Road: Good or Nah? - A Review of the New Cars Show

[@comicfan1324]

Lightning McQueen gets into a nearly fatal accident at going just below 200 mph, but Mater can break the sound barrier and doesn’t get completely obliterated in an accident? The plot armor is strong with this tow truck.

​@@ModelY303 The cars are designed to come apart in some areas while staying rigid and others. The drivers wear helmets and their bodies are protected by special safety harnesses for both the torso and neck. The suits they wear are also fire resistant. Perhaps McQueen's insides are protected from what would be instantly fatal to normal vehicles.

No matter how annoying certain things in this series got, the good stuff was enough for me to really enjoy it. Mater is absolutely at his funniest, and most relatable here.

Fun Fact: The original Godzilla movies were never stop-motion. They were actually the first to use and create suitmation. Suitmation is where an actor in a suit interacts with either green screen or an actual live action model layout. Just a little fun fact I thought you'd find interesting.

With what Tug said about Cruz, I'm pretty sure McQueen said he was going to keep racing. So after Cruz's first season was over, McQueen went back to racing the very next season.

[@eddiethefriendlytenderengine]

I don’t think he meant full-time racing. He probably just meant in spirit, because he knew he couldn’t equate to that of the modern racers. What I mean by in spirit is that he went on to be Cruz's crew chief and continued training with her. He most likely even raced around Willy's Butte in his spare time, similarly to what Doc did.

[@ThomasFisher-jr6bn]

@@eddiethefriendlytenderengine Since McQueen sort of won the race I thought he would still compete for the Piston Cup after Cruz's rookie year was over. Plus, he still races for the Piston Cup in Cars 3: Driven to Win which takes place after the movie and we see him racing in books like Cars 3 - Lead the Way.

[@DavidBContentExtravaganza3967]

@@eddiethefriendlytenderengine No, we're sure he meant full time racing. McQueen wouldn't be the same if he doesn't race. If he said he's back to racing then he is.

[@CentralPALocos]

It seems like they left it open after cars 3 and didn’t provide a solid answer in this show. In the last episode McQueen says some like “we’re racers” in reference to Cruz, so he may still be, it’s not said explicitly either way

I personally feel they should have had more episodes relating to car culture. Would have loved to see one about tuner culture (bringing back the delinquent road hazards), the muscle car culture with some cars from the video games, or even the rat rod culture with some of the Americana cars from the first movie

[@kingkoopa64]

I kinda agree, yeah. It is more concise.

[@setheatontheautobot4586]

The after credits in final episode: Bubba? Matao? Bubba?! Matao?! BUBBA?!? MATAOOOO!?!?!

[@mancaveproductions101]

McQueen didn’t retire from racing at the end of cars 3, he just took a break to mentor Cruz. He said so himself to sally at the end of the movie, he said “I’m going to keep racing, but before that, I got something I wanna do.” That thing being to mentor Cruz until she found her footing as a racer, then he would go back to racing. That’s why in the first episode he’s back in his racing colours

[@memeguy639]

Mater is kinda like how he was in the first movie laid back and chill how he should be 👍👍

[@leagontshole409]

Glad you mentioned the car wash thing cause I thought about it every time they got dirty. How has it taken this long for them to introduce this concept. If cars are like humans in this world, don’t they need to take a shower/car wash everyday?

[@Rose333X]

Humans don't need wash everyday? We demand it since were in a modern society and nobody likes to be dirty and stinky, but outside of that everyday shower isn't really necessary, for most of the history if we washed, it was like once a week/month

[@KareemEmotion]

Honestly, Cars: On The Road was a missed opportunity. I appreciate what it was trying to do with the concepts, but some of the stories and how the characters are treated at the end don’t impress me. Which is a shame because I was excited for this series. And while watching it, I felt bitter about it.

5:57 "Like a good neighbor, Mater is T H E R E !"

[@Rashid_Reviews]

If I were to make a Cars show, I’d just base it off of Cars 3’s end credits, it’ll be purely episodic with maybe a few themes tying things together, we’ll see the triumphs of Cruz’s first season in the Piston Cup, we’ll see what happens to prominent locations after the events of the movie such as Radiator Springs possibly becoming popular again cuz of Cruz, and the Rusteze Racing Center’s state after Tex’s buyout, and we’ll even get to see what Mater has been up to and his shenanigans at Thunder Hollow and Thomasville, would’ve been way better and much more satisfying to see as a Cars fan than McQueen and Mater going on a random road trip that kinda comes out of nowhere, but if we were to go with that concept, it could’ve been handled a lot more better, even better than your purposed rewrite, overall Cars on the Road is a show that had the potential to bring me back into the Cars world and see the classic friendship of McQueen and Mater as they embark on this laid back road trip, but ended up leaving a bad taste in my mouth due to rushed writing and production, and concepts that they either didn’t go far enough with, or were completely flawed from the start and handled poorly in execution, this show is something that’s been on my mind only because it’s sorta recent, but something I definitely won’t be thinking about as much in the future, it doesn’t add or remove anything from the franchise, it’s just sorta that one rushed mini-series for Disney+ that they just put out for the sake of putting out a new Cars thing, it’s very, very mediocre

[@ek9509]

Also, in The Legend, the Hunters say they are looking for "Bigfoot", who, I didn't realise when I first heard the mention, is also a real-life monster truck. It took me not too long to find that out.

[@MovieFan1912]

I actually know about the Bigfoot monster truck from an obscure animated series called “Meteor and the Mighty Monster Trucks.” I can’t remember what channel it was on, I think it Qubo. But anyway, it was from that show I first found out about Bigfoot (the monster truck, not the mythological creature).

[@mlgodzilla4206]

Ah yes the famous stop motion monster franchise….Godzilla. Also McQueen being a paleo enthusiast felt so validating. He’s ONE OF US ONE OF US

[@thomasspongeconductor2222]

The stop motion segment was actually a homage to Ray Harryhausen, the man that did Jason And The Argonauts.

[@acefist5502]

The first time I saw the Dino park ep I legit thought they took a Dino car toy and did real stop motion with it. I guess that shows how real it looked.

[@MovieFan1912]

I hadn’t seen any Harryhausen movie and even I knew what they were referencing with that dream sequence.

[@toocooldarr_17]

I never really grew up with cars but I did watch it a few times and I liked it. I'll probably watch Cars on the road soon

[@Wildcatt1999]

This is honestly the best Cars on the Roads review. You list off all the shows pros and cons, and offer a treatment that's actually better the original! I'm so glad it's back up!

[@Moxi_SW]

Here is what I would change: First of all, McQueen has his blue Hudson themed look. Ramirez is also in the first episode and she lives in radiator springs. She doesn't show up in the other episodes and she just shows up in the last as she suddenly got invited. That's what I would change

[@newguy186]

14:44: Maybe they could utilize that to expand on Cruz's character. She went through something similar, she could mentor Ivy the same way Lightning McQueen mentored her.

Especially since Guido is supposed to be a fictional Italian forklift model that is supposed to be rare in the United States of America.

You say Cars 2 makes no sense, however Cars 2 is the only Pixar movie aside from the incredibles to use guns, which is to me, a very bold move to do in any movie rated under PG 13, considering that Cars 2 came out in 2011, and many Animation studios quit using guns a long time before then.

3:27 Love the video! It's awesome to see Pixar at work to give Cars some love, especially with the animation. But this personally irked me. Films like King Kong and Beast From 20,000 Fathoms utilized high amounts of stop motion animation for their monsters. Meanwhile Godzilla (even the 1954 original) specifically used a rubber suit actor. The film has a 1-second stop motion sequence involving his tail but by no means is the movie even close to being considered stop motion.

It's been said that water is mad hard to animate & CGI. So perhaps the technology & they're skill with that before wasnt as advanced as they needed it for to have a car wash implemented earlier..

They could've set up a few plots & task & races.. & introduced new characters.. fleshed out one or two of those characters & implemented A Car Dealership (which in my mind could be adapted for Car use as an Adoption Adjacency), Car Wash, Bumper Cars, & impound lot..
