Pixar really went " well people are already confused by how the Cars universe works, why not just chuck an existential crisis about how their world functions in every episode"
McQueen, a professional racecar, gets into a nearly fatal accident by going just under 200 mph. But Mater, a rusty old tow truck, can break the sound barrier and crash without getting shattered to pieces? The plot armor is strong with this one.
Considering Lighting McQueen is a stock car that is finely tuned for racing in a tri-oval and not at all for economy cruising, I like to imagine in between episodes how frequently he has refuel compared to Mater. It gets a little more fun trying to imagine the bickering they would have.
Mater is also a lot older, with a motor that has lower compression and seemingly leaking exhaust. Not to mention he's a truck so aero is worse. All things considered they probably have similar fuel economy.
This show is rather fine, as over the top as some of the episodes are, i do like how there's certain locations like Boneville Salt Flats, Circus Velocitas, The Badlands, and Mater's family home, that adds perspective to the World of Cars. Its fun to see Lightning McQueen and Mater's chemistry expanded on.
If I'm correct, I believe the first episode is the first time Pixar used lower frame rates if not 2nd with that Pixar short Purl. Purl and the other balls of yarn look like they have lower frame rate than the humans
5:53 Thomas actually had a spin off about talking construction vehicles, but it was cancelled when HiT Entertainment bought the franchise, presumably because they already owned Bob the Builder. The spin off was called Jack and the Sodor Construction Company.
There’s also a few references to the Haunted Mansion in that hotel episode! Which is kinda funny since Owen Wilson is set to be in a movie based on the ride this year.
somehow he even still had them in cars 3, like c'mon where's the weight reduction thing, lit up tracks n shit, that annoyed me on the 3rd movie more than it should've
OK, so when Marvel and starwars do something that not only messes up with logic and physics but the lore no one bats an eye, but when cars does it, everyone loses their minds. OK then....
Honestly I’d love to see how motorbikes are used in the world. Are they animals like tractors or are they a different kind of racer? How are different bikes seen in the world (dirt bikes, sports bikes, Harley’s, scooters etc)
Honestly, I think that this is a really fun series! I dunno, its more fun than cars 2. Its nice to see how different cars do different things, and McQueen and Mater's relationship is so wholesome to me (minus cars 2), like when the pair first go tractor tipping, them laughing is just so, again, wholesome.
While the show has... issues by being WAY too over-the-top (haunted mansion episode), I think I gel with this show better than, let's say, Kung Fu Panda: The Dragon Knight. Mainly because while the latter tries to be as distant from the movie series as possible with many absent movie characters, Cars on the Road reminds us that the characters we meet are all still there, even for one episode. As for episode 3, I can see this as the culmination of McQueen's complete development from Cars 3. If this was Cars 3 Lightning, he would've WANTED to take the offer just to out-speed Storm, even if it's extremely stupid (and he was stupid already to play a mud derby).
@@ethanpanlilio8956 It's not bad... But man, I wish characters like Shifu or the Furious Five appear and have some focus. I'd be happy if Tigress appears to interact with Luthera herself.
Mater complains about wanting to go fast, yet in Cars 2 he gets those rockets that make him faster than McQueen. Guess Disney also wants to forget about that movie
How does McQueen crash in cars 3 and be completely fine but then when Mater crashed he dies! And let’s not forget the legend doc crashed as well but was fine. As well as the king in the first cars movie
Ok the last thing i expected to refrence the shining is cars lol. I haven't seen this show but it actually sounds decent and a good continuation of the movies
I personally just look at this one as Mater's Tall Tales 2 - better in some aspects, worse in the others, overall just a light hearted series of fun episodes
Episode 3 actually took reference from not a icy lake but a Salt Flat now you're probably wondering what is a Salt Flat a Salt Flat is a flat arid land mostly found in deserts and have a bunch of salt deposits the biggest one in the US I think is in Utah
Ngl I thought these were great. I liked the variety and ideas they had. Also why are we trying to force logic into Cars. It’s just fun let it be like that.
Which makes their possible existence really depressing. Not able to move without tracks, and while trains can transport fuel and stuff... What would the metro be used for?
I don’t dislike this series, but man, it had so much potential. I hope we get a season 2, because there’s so much more that they could do with this series.
The name in Czech makes more sense. It can be directly translated into English as "Cars on Adventures" Czech is different than English so that direct translation might be incorrect in English, but it does make sense.
@@nikohpgaming2569n cars 2 it was clear McQueen knew Jeff, he isn’t first time meeting him, so Jeff appearing is most likely just like a friend visiting.
@@MugmanTheMugOfficialI mean it still counts as Pixar remembering Cars 2. Even though in lore wise, McQueen knew Jeff and Lewis way back before cars 2 (I assume around few years into his racing career.) Despite Both of them are 2 original characters based of real life people for the movie.
theory: the cars world takes place in the same universe as the netflix original series dinotrux. anyone else remember that series? man i loved that show
Could you also review Mators tall tales on this series? It's a bit like this but with even more stories told from mators prospective. I think it could be an interesting comaprason to this new series. It was released shortly after the first movie
I feel more work could of been done this 5-6/10 series of Shorts. Add foreshadowing to Getting Hitched/The Finale(Views of Maters Family, Cruz to Episode 3, give Ivy more Screen Time, Make the Trucks in Episode 6 a Band Called Trucks) Episode Ranks: 9. Hunted Hotel (2) 8. Show Time (5) 7. Getting Hitched (Final) 6. Big Foot (4) 5. Road Rumblers (8) 4. B-Movie (7) 3. Dino Park (1) 2. Salt Fever (3) 4:43 1. Trucks (6) Catchy Song Also this show is trying to forget Cars 2&3’s Character Arc (Mater wants to go Fast, Lighting McQueen becoming Cruz’s Mentors) just remove those and you got a 6.5/10 show of shorts.
Pixar really went " well people are already confused by how the Cars universe works, why not just chuck an existential crisis about how their world functions in every episode"
N😮😮😅😅😅😮😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
3:39 The “lake” is actually based off of the salt lakes in Utah. They are large deserts made of salt where lots of rocket cars are tested
thurst ssc moment
it kinda annoyed me when he called it an icy lake, when there are very obvious desert mountains in the background lmao
McQueen, a professional racecar, gets into a nearly fatal accident by going just under 200 mph. But Mater, a rusty old tow truck, can break the sound barrier and crash without getting shattered to pieces? The plot armor is strong with this one.
Bruh it’s literally implied Mater died…
also, it's called Salt Flats
like no he dye but he come back alive stil in the air he shoult dye second round
This series has dinosaurs, ghosts, apocalyptic landscapes, a seemingly spontaneous musical number, and that’s what your focusing on?
It's joke this whole conversition it's joke(or i think)

@@rydoggo That's a good point.
Goddamn the comments in this are so brilliant.
And this is why he wanted to ride in Mack

Yo how come this series tells us that dinosaurs used to be all mechanical-like
But dinoco's symbol has a regular dinosaur with animal feet?
Maybe in the cars lore real life dinosaurs are like what dragons fairies and other mythical beasts
Maybe it was a stylistic choice, plus dinco never really originated in cars. It was a toy story so yeah
@@kingkoopa64 Yeah it was a human thing
Also where do people think the oil comes from
If I'm correct, I believe the first episode is the first time Pixar used lower frame rates if not 2nd with that Pixar short Purl. Purl and the other balls of yarn look like they have lower frame rate than the humans
It is supposed to simulate old school stop motion monster films. Which is a nice detail.
This series certainly had its flaws, but it was still a fun watch overall. I do hope they can do a bit more with season 2, though.
5:53 Thomas actually had a spin off about talking construction vehicles, but it was cancelled when HiT Entertainment bought the franchise, presumably because they already owned Bob the Builder. The spin off was called Jack and the Sodor Construction Company.
Was it not called “jack and the pack”?
There’s also a few references to the Haunted Mansion in that hotel episode! Which is kinda funny since Owen Wilson is set to be in a movie based on the ride this year.
I just accept that the Cars universe is just the human one but slightly different for cars
5:58 they gave mcqueen working headlights! "Race cars don’t need headlights because the track is always lit."
He had working headlights ever since Cars 2
somehow he even still had them in cars 3, like c'mon where's the weight reduction thing, lit up tracks n shit, that annoyed me on the 3rd movie more than it should've
Honestly he’s retired at this point, also he still has to be able to see at night when he’s not on the track anyway
"So is my brother but he still needs headlights!"
Ha ha ha!...ha...ha ha ha!...
OK, so when Marvel and starwars do something that not only messes up with logic and physics but the lore no one bats an eye, but when cars does it, everyone loses their minds. OK then....
Unfortunate that Planes was never mentioned or even had a cameo, seriously is it too much to ask to see McQueen and Dusty interact for one scene?
Honestly I’d love to see how motorbikes are used in the world. Are they animals like tractors or are they a different kind of racer? How are different bikes seen in the world (dirt bikes, sports bikes, Harley’s, scooters etc)
They’re deer in the universe. Well bicycles are, as their handles are antlers in cars 3.
Honestly, I think that this is a really fun series! I dunno, its more fun than cars 2. Its nice to see how different cars do different things, and McQueen and Mater's relationship is so wholesome to me (minus cars 2), like when the pair first go tractor tipping, them laughing is just so, again, wholesome.
what do you mean "that one Tangled short", there's an entire animated series beloved by many
5:38 oh yeah this finally canonized what was inside the car door. A mini version of them which I guess is their soul?
Not going to lie, the 'RacecaR' joke to reference 'Redrum' make me genuinely laugh.
11:09 it looks like the fork lift is saying it, it syncs up almost perfectly.
I like this spin-off it's wholesome, plus any new Cars contents is a win.
They should've had a car-notaurus in the dinosaur episode
At least they had a Tire-annosaurus Rex. 🙃
15:51 That was a deleted script. There was originally going to be a movie with trains, but they unfortunately canceled it.
*Never heard of this show until today!*
🫨
Same

Wait whats wrong with kung fu panda dragon knight show?? is it bad or just mediocre?
@@ethanpanlilio8956 It's not bad... But man, I wish characters like Shifu or the Furious Five appear and have some focus. I'd be happy if Tigress appears to interact with Luthera herself.
So you're mad at something going crazy with ideas instead of milking the same idea over and over, man, you must be a cod fan then
@@kingkoopa64 when did they say that?
Mater complains about wanting to go fast, yet in Cars 2 he gets those rockets that make him faster than McQueen. Guess Disney also wants to forget about that movie
Maybe he missed that?
wouldn't electric cars in the cars universe be like AI?
How does McQueen crash in cars 3 and be completely fine but then when Mater crashed he dies! And let’s not forget the legend doc crashed as well but was fine. As well as the king in the first cars movie
Ok the last thing i expected to refrence the shining is cars lol. I haven't seen this show but it actually sounds decent and a good continuation of the movies
I’d say this series is better than the actual Cars films.
What other series can you say has Mater literally cheating death?
Truck ep was my favourite ep so far in this series 😂💀
I actually enjoyed this series.
I personally just look at this one as Mater's Tall Tales 2 - better in some aspects, worse in the others, overall just a light hearted series of fun episodes
This is great timing cause I was watching Cars last night!
Ok as a car guy the anti freeze joke is hilarious 🤣
Episode 3 actually took reference from not a icy lake but a Salt Flat now you're probably wondering what is a Salt Flat a Salt Flat is a flat arid land mostly found in deserts and have a bunch of salt deposits the biggest one in the US I think is in Utah
Only 9 episodes, and they could make more to see what happens when Mcqueen and Mater drive home
Wow you did this series dirty. It's a wonderful series.
Mater is a truck, his sister is a car. I think Mater is adopted, where are their parents?
you can think that it works like the aussie utes, dunno
Car biology is weird already
0:39 I’d like to point out that the story guy and story boarder is the creator of Sam and max freelance police
maybe the cars movies are more for the American audience than other parts of the world.
Ngl I thought these were great. I liked the variety and ideas they had.
Also why are we trying to force logic into Cars. It’s just fun let it be like that.
I honestly enjoyed this series.
I might be in the minority, there.
Still has me interested enough to at least see it in full once.
I would've liked if McQueen had his Hudson Hornet paint.
0:43 THE POKÉMON XY BIKE THEME GOES SO HARD
its funny that you mentioned TRAINS, as that WAS to be a movie, and also METRO, a subway version of course, both were canceled.
Which makes their possible existence really depressing. Not able to move without tracks, and while trains can transport fuel and stuff... What would the metro be used for?
I liked this series, i especially liked that mcqueen is a paleonerd, like me lol
Some of these are just overall wholesome! It’s not anything big but it is still nice!
I actually really enjoyed these shorts they were just a fun time with characters I enjoy
13:37 You seriously don't know who Cruz is!?!? I think you didn't watch Cars 3 at all!
Yeah she's the one that stole Mcqueen's win
Nah bro the truck song is top tier
Not gonna lie, that clown car clown car gag is great.
I don’t dislike this series, but man, it had so much potential. I hope we get a season 2, because there’s so much more that they could do with this series.
Why does the series make Cruz a mary sue?
Finally, the sequel to Mater's Tall Tales
15:52 I could see a few videos made off of that
4:11 Mater. What are you talking about??
Did you forget the rocket boosters you got in Cars 2??
Yes. That movie is still canon no matter what you say
The name in Czech makes more sense.
It can be directly translated into English as "Cars on Adventures"
Czech is different than English so that direct translation might be incorrect in English, but it does make sense.
This was co directed by steve percell the creator of comic book, video game, and tv show sam and max.
Yeah Thanks for the information I Guess
They will blow up the Earth!” Says Matar.
disney isn't shy about spinoffs
I think if Mater was competing for Mcqueen's attention afraid Mcqueen would stop being his friend or something would've helped the last episode a bit.
Thanks, now I'll never forget the time Mater almost literally died
i love shining references
1:16 If there are car animals and Dino’s that means there are CARnivorous cars.
Why didn't Mater use the jets that he had during Cars 2 in episode 3? That's the one mod he kept from that movie.
They want to forget that shitty movie
@@glacto2625 Then explain Jeff Gorvette being in 3 tho, and he doesn't act like he didn't knew McQueen from the second movie
@@nikohpgaming2569 how tf can you remember that

I feel offended that dinosaurs are in this.
the 3rd epasode is on a salt flat not a frozen lake not to be rude
What are the soundtracks of this videos?
theory: the cars world takes place in the same universe as the netflix original series dinotrux. anyone else remember that series? man i loved that show
Ima watch
Race car in the door in the shining refrenc3 is hilarious though come on. Like it's the same backwards as forwards lmao.
I always wondered if there were motorcycles in the cars universe.
that's not an "icy lake" that's a salt flat.
Quick tangent. Episode 3 is set in a big ole salt flat, not an ice lake. I don’t think the land speeders can take off or flat out stop
I kinda like the show. I will give a 6/10
I give it like 5.2/10
Could you also review Mators tall tales on this series? It's a bit like this but with even more stories told from mators prospective. I think it could be an interesting comaprason to this new series. It was released shortly after the first movie
The Circus is run by a LESBIAN CAR COUPLE! Iconic 👩❤️👩
"in the jurassic age"
erm actually thats the cretaceous
Nah but like…a train centered spinoff in cars would be interesting to see.
They better put a "MULTI-TRACK DRIFT" joke if it happens.
there was one being made, sadly got canceled some years ago now, it was about the underground metro ways on new york, it's a shame it got cancelled
I am pretty certain the first one breaks the worldbuilding
I liked this series it was nice and simple
Pixar theorist moment:
The way the hotel was made, why is it so narrow like it wasnt made for cars
I found it fun and nice, that’s it. I’m not a critical person, I found it fun
at least the animation quality wasn't worse than the movie itself. (11 months late ik)
Pokemon xy Bike theme :DDD
And its canceled 😞

Umm acktyooally it’s a salt lake modeled after the Bonneville Salt Flats ☝️🤓
Glad more Cars content is arriving more on this channel.
just wait till 2024 for cars 4.....
I like Cars on the Road
Cars was gonnq have a trains version
I wonder how much do we know about Mater
That's... not an icey lake, dear. Those are salt flats.
Is the name of zootopia different in the UK?
