Someone asked me once "what's that Pixar film with the Cars?" "Cars" "Yeah Cars" "Cars" "Christ YES CARS! what's it called?" "Cars, is what it is called! "oh"
Cars? Cars? CAAAAAAARRRRRRRS!? AAND IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII HOLY SH!T! WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU! I CAN'T BELIVE YOU DID THIS TO ME GODDAMMIT HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME!?
Because John Lasseter likes cars, and he had a really enriching experience going on vacation with his family along route 66 and other backroads of America. That's why this movie was made. Because this was something a really good storyteller was passionate about, something he wanted to share with others :) In my opinion, the soul of this movie is what makes it stand out.
This is what Pixar was afraid of before bringing Brad Bird into the studio, that they were going to be too confident that their next films would be hits anyway. That's the problem with this movie, John just liked Cars, his studio made hit after hit and he thought that making a movie about Cars was immediately a good idea. Whatever you think about this movie, there is no denying that it didn't pay off as well as the other films
Personally speaking, I liked Cars. Story was simple, but it got the message through and made me feel nice watching it. Growing up I was always into auto-racing and NASCAR, so I guess the film probably struck a cord with me that it missed with others. Cars 2 was... a massive pileup.
I also liked Cars, As well as Cars 3, Because they both carry very important life lessons and they actually showed it in such a nice and touching way. And i agree,Cars 2 really was the worst one.
The idea for Cars came from John Lasseter himself. He was on a road trip taking all these sites and landscapes and thats when the idea for Cars hit him. The message is to really take a moment to slow down and enjoy the landscapes. I have been on road trips and I can tell you that being in small towns and even ghost towns just really speaks to you in a way.
I like the movie, i don't understand at all the amount of hate this movie gets, i kind of believe hating cars is like a gimmick or something, idk. btw i'm not a car person or nascar fan, i just find it weird and forced that so many adult people say they "hate" this kids movie. still love the critic.
Yurriaan Van Duyn i don't think people got anything past their thick skull, ever. a movie is as good as the team involved really. aside from snobby artsy rich kid directed movies, the purpose of all movies is to make a profit, you know, so that people can buy food and shelter and raise their kids and stuff. if the movie is good the top level people involved gets more money and more movie opportunities.
I loved the movie. It was smart, it had good themes, and it was HIGHLY underrated. Is it the best? No. Is it my favorite? Nostalgia. Are the characters great? Doc, sally, lightning, mater, doc, Doc, Doc, oh and Doc.
This was my introduction to Owen Wilson & it's 1 of my all-time favorite Disney movies. I've been a fan of this movie ever since I saw it in theaters back in 2006.
Imagine if Toy Story was a standalone film, THIS was their first movie to get a sequel and has the most of them to this day. Seriously? Even if Cars was liked, it was the weakest thing they had made, did we really need more of this?
@@isaywhateveriwantandyougot7421 really? Cars is the worst? Honestly, Cars is the only movie that I'm NOT bored to death of. Toy Story, Coco and Finding Nemo Are sort of tolerable. But, Rattatue? Brave? A Bugs Life? Just boring and bad...
I'm very disappointed with the review of this movie. "I don't get it" isn't a satisfying conclusion. Also complaining about the concept of a world with car people doesn't tell me why its a bad idea, or what could have been done instead. Just that the critic didn't like it. I ironically found this review boring and disappointing. I'm not really sure why this review was made, except for that the idea is to review every pixar movie.
Paul Newman made me love this movie. He is my favourite actor of all time and his performance as Doc was beautiful. I loved it just as much as some of his others
+Billy Barnett The "rules" I mean are how they established the fictional world. In Cars 1, it was established that what we see is analogous with our real world (with the same physical limitations), except everything is cars. Cars 2 suddenly decided that fantastical James Bond spy fantasy is also part of this carworld, throwing out any attempt of realism.
+EeveeParty97 the first one was decent because it was more laid back than the second and was mostly set in a town stuck in the booming culture and the rustic charm of the 1950s. Second one on the other hand tried way too damn hard on making sense that it ends up making none in the end. Seriously, a rusty tractor as a secret agent?
I don't really get the joke/point Doug's trying to make about the stadium full of cars watching a race. Isn't it no different than a stadium full of people watching a football game? Aside from that, I liked this movie a lot and I still do. I like the colors, I love the roar of the engines on surround sound speakers, I like the music they chose even though I'm not a huge fan of country music, I like the characters, and I like the story even if it has been done before. I don't care much for cars, but my dad does, and it was one of the few movies we ever bonded over. Cars 2, though....
It's weird when the reason someone doesn't like a movie seems almost entirely meta. Does he have anything bad to say about the movie itself? Not really. Instead, he complains about it on a meta level. It's a story that's been done before. The company that made it already released a CG movie with humans in it, so he doesn't like that they went back to non-living things. Not everyone likes cars (the vehicle, not the movie). Etc. It sounds a lot like hype-backlash. He built up some sort of expectation in his mind (human characters) and when Pixar didn't deliver, he just hated the product without giving it a chance. I don't see any reason why an animation company should do *only* movies with people in them, just because they have the technology. Sometimes, the world they want to create is just "What if everyone was replaced by cars?" If that's where their imagination took them, then so be it. Why was it made? Because that's what a producer liked. Personally, I like Cars (the movie). I know next to nothing about cars (the vehicle) except the very basics from how to drive them. I don't care about racing. Sure, I've seen the "jerkwad hero learning that winning isn't everything" story quite a lot. But the movie was enjoyable despite that. It's like how a lot of Americans hate the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode Take Me Out To The Holosuite, while Europeans don't see the fuss. The episode is nothing but baseball movie cliches. It was made because the producer liked baseball. Americans hate it for meta reasons: They've seen baseball cliches done to death. Europeans don't care and see the episode as harmless fluff, a breather in the war story arc.
1. Why are you reading so far into this when what he does won't affect you in the slightest. 2. So what if it is an animation company that doesn't mean everyone is gonna wanna see inanimate objects come to like or animals being personalized. 3. It's great that you found something to like about it but that doesn't mean he has to 4. Why bring up something that has nothing to do with what we are talking about 5. Why should he give a damn what you think of his opinion And 6. Why do you even care so much about why he dislikes it
Um dude why do you care so much about why I was asking so many questions? Those are legit good questions. Opinions are opinions not facts. This person was practically going out of their way to say why Doug was wrong for disliking this movie. I don’t understand why people get so upset over things like this as it doesn’t in any way affect them at all. It’s just someone’s personal preference.
Um I’m sorry WTF was all that. All I was saying is why should someone change their opinion on something just because someone else disagrees with them. I didn’t need a full blown lecture of the art world. All that did was give me a massive headache it confused me so much. Also all this talk of subjective and objective, what the hell does any of that even mean in the art world? Why did my calling this person out on them going into way to much detail on why Doug was wrong for his reasons of disliking this movie warrant an unnecessary full blown lecture on the world or art. I wasn’t even talking about the world of art, I was asking why this person cared so much about Doug hating this movie. I should also be asking you why you seem to care so much about it that you felt you had to lecture me about the world of art. My gosh one thing to remember when doing anything in this world is that try as you might, you can’t please everyone so you shouldn’t try to.
Ok maybe maybe I didn’t make myself clear so my apologies for that. I’m glad you are very passionate about this subject. I’m not discouraging that at all. I’m sorry if it seemed like I was. It just that it sounded like the main commentor (sorry if I spelled that wrong.) was telling Doug his opinion was wrong. To me, telling someone that their opinion is wrong is a big offense because it’s Like telling people they can’t think for themselves. If opinions didn’t exist, then we wouldn’t be individuals. This is a subject I’m very passionate about because individuality is what makes all of us special, it makes us unique. Telling someone their opinion is wrong simply because you say it is sounds like a very controlling statement. You can however tell someone that they got their facts wrong about something and that might change their opinion. If what you were doing is the latter and not the former, then my apologies.
humans are involved in a lot of pixar movies though. only Cars/Cars 2, Monsters U, and Bug's Life dont have them. and in everything else they play a big part. Humans cause the trash build up in Wall-e, Andy looses Buzz and Woody and they need to escape from Sid, Al kidnaps Woody, human kids provide scream in Monsters Inc, in Toy Story 3 Andy going off to college sets everything into motion, in Inside Out you are litterally inside a human brain, Ratatouille is kinda obvious along with Up and Brave.
+Brandon Thompson I think the point is more human MAIN characters, not background or secondary. Ratatouille is more about the rat, Wall-e is of course focused on Wall-e, Toy story couldn't give less of a crap about the humans, and Monsters Inc focuses more on the monsters. So out of all the movies you listed, only Inside Out, Up, and Brave focus on humans. And even then, Inside Out focuses on the emotions struggle than the people they inhabit.
Buc Whovian No cars is just an easy franchise to make toys around. All they have to do is grab a random vehicle and slap a face on it, and they have another toy, and that's just the basic collectables. If you go onto Toywiz and click cars it is separated into about 60 different pages.
Dude...its creative,beautifully animated,the music was amazing and the Voice acting and characters are memorable and enjoyable! No disrespect but I loved this film
I really liked the animation here, how they made cars emote without making them too humanoid. Especially if they're driving while doing it, it looks just... right for car-people-things. Otherwise it's pretty cliche, but I appreciate the effort put into making car-people emote and behave just like you'd imagine car-people would(though I'm not sure you'd routinely imagine how living car-beings would emote).
Cars was a decently solid film. The story may have been done to death but to be fair it did match the tone they were going for. I thought the film looked rather nice and unique with a handful of very postcard-like images. Doug neglected to mention the calming and bright soundtrack along with a couple of really nice quiet moments. The film has a strange concept and one or two plot holes, but I personally think that the pacing, presentation, and pixar charm pull it through to be placed on top of bug's life and brave, but quite a few marks under up, toy story 2 and the incredibles. LOVE your work Doug, but... i gotta disagree with you on this one. Plus a film about cars shouldn't be that strange given that we all adore mutant turtles that are ninja's.
It's a harmless movie which was made to sell toys and had a good lesson for children, and while it is not ground breaking, it is still not horrible like robots
+Rodin Claus I think with Robots, it can be a bit tedious when the movie is throwing so much stuff at you and not giving any time for you to take any of it in. Like Cars, it's not as horrible as people make it out to be, but for me it's also not something I'd probably watch a second time
As someone who repeatedly watched that movie as a kid, I now think it's just awful. The story is so recycled, the characters are boring (even Robin Williams's character, sadly), and there was a serious lack of good jokes. There were a few funny lines, like out of Robin Williams, but it's mostly forgettable if you only see it once.
Something I’ll give credit to is that the ending of the movie doesn’t go full 100% cliche, it’s not like they have Lightning McQueen decide to walk away from his racing career in favor of living a smaller, simpler life in Radiator Springs or anything like that, it’s more like they end on sort of a middle ground, he makes Radiator Springs popular again and still goes there but he doesn’t give up his racing career either, he still continues on with it and even makes Mater and the other characters his pit crew, for all the stories about the big hotshot celebrity getting dragged into the slums this one at least doesn’t follow *ALL* the cliches
I will agree that this movie isn't the best Pixar movie but I do actually really like this movie. I thought it was funny, had great characters, some wonderful moments where it just slows down and lets you take in the scene. Like with the cruise scene or the drive scene. I don't care if the stories been done over and over and I hate that kind of argument against any movie because to me it's not important if the stories original, it's how they tell the story and the characters they use to tell it. And to me Cars does it very well. I can't think of a single main or secondary character that I didn't like in this film. I've scene this movie a dozen times and I'll continue to see it a dozen times more.
Jonathan Tefft Agreed, I don't like Cars 2 or Brave, (haven't seen TGD) but this one was good and I actually think this is Pixar in their roots (Toy Story and A Bugs life, both and Cars directed by John Lasseter). Simple concepts done great and charming, also Randy Newman. I like the characters but I don't love them, I kinda find Mater annoying ala Jar Jar Binks, but it had his moments Not the best Pixar Movie, but I still like it. Also Cars 2 had one charming moment, while Brave didn't have a single one, thus, Brave is the WORST Pixar Movie for me
@@isaywhateveriwantandyougot7421 also, shut up asshole Oh, NOW you delete your comment!! Well for anyone who wants to know, he said: "who asked for your opinion?"
+Rob Bob But this one already copied the plot of Doc Hollywood. Look it up, it's the EXACT same plot, except the main guy is a doctor and has a rival for the local darling's affections.
I don't get the hate here. I mean, I don't really care for cars either, but is it that much dumber than a movie about bugs are fish?I loved this movie. And the ending caught me by surprise. I think so often the Hero wins, and I thought the message that winning isn't everything is a rare one these days as they hero usually does win.
Exactly. The first Cars film is great, and the third is essentially a return to form. It's just the second one where things got rocky, and that was because the plot was completely all over the place.
Cars is so good because of the characters and the setting. The characters are brilliant and the setting is beautiful. The passion put into it is also really nice
I didn't love "Cars", but I do have to give it credit for one thing: John Lasseter said he made this movie because he loves cars and the art of animation thanks to his parents, but most importantly because of a summer-long camping trip with his family that brought them closer together. I think we can all agree, that's pretty solid motivation to make a movie.
Yeah I loved this movie, simply because when it came out I was 4 (which wow thanks for making me feel old). So this was my first time seeing this formula done, along with the fact that young boys (which I was) love cars growing up, hot wheels wouldn’t be a thing otherwise. So it really hooked us.
My Grandpa went gaga for this movie solely because they made the "Hudson Hornet" a character and when he was a little boy he was a HUGE fan of the real one. Also one of his retirement hobbies is making wooden cars for children so he kind of used the characters as models for a good while.
I didn't get why this movie was made. I'm not particularly a car person even as a kid back then, but I'm fine with people liking this film if they do. I love your rereleases of Disneycember Doug. Keep it up and I might binge watch them for a marathon up til Christmas and New Year.
+Andrew “MartialKaiju98” Pham i think one of the goals of this movie was to help Rascal Flatts and give more attention to Route 66. it also had the goal of showing what once was to a younger generation.
Lasseter took his family on a road trip for summer vacation that pin points where Route 66 used to connect. So he combine that experience and his love of cars and you get this movie.
The movie was made in honor of John Lasseter's love of cars and childhood memories. I personally love this movie. If you ignore the fact that, yeah the idea is a little silly, then you'll find yourself loving the characters. Doc Hudson was always my favorite and he was the reason I started liking Hudson Hornets to begin with. I think the story is great, even if it is done to death. I know a lot of people hate this movie, but it's actually one of my favorites from Pixar :)
Even tho this is NOT one of my favorites to look at. But I still feel like this film was entirely paying homage to some of Disney's classic cartoons from the 1950's . Such as: "Susie: The Little Blue Coupe" I remember watching that when I was a kid! :D
Cars is a film aimed at young boys, which is where it made its biggest impact. I used to work retail, and the cars shoes were amongst the biggest sellers in my department, but they were almost exclusively found in the toddler boys department, which shows you what demographic Pixar was aiming at. Someday soon, my nephew will be obsessed with this film franchise. He LOVES vehicles and having a whole film starring them will be of huge appeal (right now my sister and her husband don't allow him to watch full length films because of his age). He already loves Cars Land in Disneyland. I will admit, though, it is harder to make a kids film aimed at boys than it is to make a kids film aimed at girls for some reason. Pixar does it better than Disney, but I think that is because they /usually/ don't necessarily market to a particular gender. They, like Ghibli, make family films. Cars, though, is very definitely aimed at boys.
I have to admit, I loved this movie. I even have quite a few of the die-cast metal figurines. Even I have let down the hype of the film a year after I stopped buying the figurines. Still an okay movie in my mind, but I found the figurines more enjoyable than the film because I always liked physical objects rather than something that was digital. "We all change." Doug Walker, 12/16/2015
I loved this movie when it first came out, and I love it now. One of my top 5 animated movies ever. The ending in particular gets me every single time.
I like all these movies myself, even if the story has been done before, I just love how they put those scenarios in this world! The movie is about Dusty having to become a firefighter to keep his town from being removed due to unacceptable fire safety precautions. Even MORE stressful is the fact that Dusty has a condition in his engine that keeps him from going super fast, where he may never race again. (just after becoming a racer too!) The movie struck a cord for me on Dusty's condition, because it feels SO true to how real it is to an athelete. There are times when an athlete has to stop doing the sport they love to play in, mostly because their body can't take anymore strain. Even more heartbreaking when all the training leading to that big game ends in a fracture, or having to bench because of muscle spasms. I still don't get how people hate these movies, but I respect their decisions. But like you, I love all of the Cars & Planes movies!
I love Cars and it’s one of my favorite Pixar movies. It was fun, entertaining, it has some funny jokes, some great music, and awesome characters with great voice acting. It’s a childhood favorite.
When this movie came out I was a kid, and I only watched it because my brother wanted to watch it, I remember liking it, but looking back I believe I'm more attached to everything else that came with the movie like the first video game and the toys. On his own the movie isn't that great (it was sure better than the sequels) but it came with other material so it was just fine.
I honestly loved this movie when I was a kid for some reason I just couldn’t stop watching it, I got a lot of the car toys and I had cars window stickers that were on my window for years! yes the entire premise of cars is dumb and Pixar has made better but I can’t hate the first movie at all and still kinda like it today since it was a part of my childhood. But cars 2 can go die
When I first saw the trailer for this film, I thought, "What the? Did they just make a feature length version of that old 'Susie the Car' Disney short?" Because, you know, the character designs for the cars in this movie look a lot like the style used for the character designs from that short. In fact, the love interest is a blue car just like Susie in the original short, and if I remember correctly Susie's love interest was a red hot rod... Yeah. That alone made me decide never to see this movie. It's "Susie the Car: The Movie" to me, and that's what it'll always be.
Oh Doug, if only you'd seen the extras on your DVD of this movie if you have it; you would have known the reason why this movie was made. It was made because the director loved the trips he took with his family when he was a kid along the Route 66. This movie is as much about that as every lesson that was put into the movie, like respecting your elders, and not looking down on people just because they talk and look funny. One of the reasons I love this movie is because I actually wanted to see this concept in the movie for many years. I'm not a car guy, but every time I see a car I think it has a face because the front of the car looks that way. And what is this about Cars doesn't look that great? I think it looks great. The way cars jump sometimes, and just the overall animation is amazing, and colors really pop out as they would on race cars and show cars, and even the rusty cars. And the whole world of Cars looks great too. And you're forgetting that animated movies are made for kids, even though Pixar makes them for adults as much as for kids. I can understand why you didn't like the movie though, but all the reasons you don't like it for are the reasons for loving it.
I actually liked this movie quite a bit. It has good characters, great animation {not gonna lie}, some funny jokes, a story that is actually self-aware that its dumb and I really loved the ending to this movie. Plus, Paul Newman was great as always.
Whenever I hear people criticize the world of Cars is broken and makes no sense, I just feel like facepalming myself cause it just sounds like they’re taking their world too seriously. At least the other arguments had something to back it up, but I can’t think of one valid thing that supports that argument. I personally found the concept interesting as a kid and I still found the rest of the film entertaining with its simplicity and message.
The thing is that it's a race film, with all that imply : the bad behaviour of a famous racer who is in fact a douche and become a good man that understand that we're all the same ; where we live and what we do don't matter. So it's classic but attractive and, when I was kid, I laughed a lot, I cried and I a really got attached to the characters who were all really simple... and that's you need as a kid : simple stuff which create strong story. And about the adults ? I find that's it's a really acidic critic of the star system, which portrayed every kind of guys who live in this system (the humble champion, the big famous douche...) easily to make kids understand who they are and make adults feeling bad or good about their choice : all that's portraits depicted in the films are realistic and represent kind of people that really exist. So before I lose myself in saying huge shit in English (I'm French..and I LOVE THIS FUCKING MOVIE) let's just say that it's entertaining for kids, and that make adults thinking a second time about their idols
A movie about sentient cars isnt really a weirder concept than one about sentient bugs or toys, right? I don't get that complaint, but everything else I agree.
IAmTheMikko Add anything to _what_? A movie has to stand on its own. It added a new story with a new concept. You can't ask for more to be "added". That's a pretty weak argument. Just because Critic wants to see more humans in these movies doesn't mean that's the majority's interest. Just so it's clear, I still think this movie was pretty boring, but not because of these points.
IAmTheMikko By new I obviously meant it was something different from what they did before. I didn't say it was a good story or the ideas were never done before. The animation quality is not connected to the concept whatsoever.
A movie about a world filled with sentient cars. In Toy Story and a Bug's Life, the world is filled with humans, though the bugs and toys are the center of attention. Cars is just... weird.
This movie is a love letter for NASCAR fans. A lot of references to cars, drivers, and historical moments in its history with moments all throughout that really pay homage. If you're not into NASCAR or racing in general, this probably won't be your movie. It's not an all-rounder like a lot of Pixar's most highly-recieved films. I'm a racing fan, so you know where I put this. I know Pixar's done a lot better, but this is still my 3rd favorite movie ever made simply because how enjoyable it is, how likeable the characters are for me, and how it truly respecrs me as a racing fan. This is the movie I've watched the most and it's aged very well with time even as I've grown up.
This is actually my favorite of all time. But I do see where Doug is coming from. After movies like Finding Nemo and The Incredibles, I'm guessing a lot of people were expecting something a lot more than just talking cars.
Everyone who reviews this movie talks about the toys that were made, but I never gave it any thought because it doesn't have anything to do with the story.
I think you may have been a little hard on this one. You went into it, saying you don't like cars and know nothing about them. Bad precedence. You didn't crack one smile? Really? It's not that bad of a movie. And I honestly don't think you have to have a passion for cars to enjoy this movie. Yes the concept is simple and been done 100 times, but they it's always a good lesson for kids and there are always kids in that age group that need a movie like this. I can understand where you're coming from but I think because you had a certain mindset going in, you may have nit picked a tad. Still enjoy your videos regardless, I don't mind disagreeing once in a while lol
he basically don’t like cars cuz he thinks its weird that it’s about cars but endgame is about a fat god, talking racoon, a green human, a blue robot, 2 irom man, and a guy with a bow and arrow traveling back in fucking time to find 6 colorful stones to defeat a big purple alien who literally snapped away half of the universe and everybody loves that..... okay (i love endgame to, dont @ me)
I'm not a fan of this movie, but I find the complaint that the characters aren't "human" to be misguided. You can tell a completely "human" story without using humans. You can also tell really cliche stories using humans, cars or whatever. That said, the conceit of the movie sat well with me. When I was a kid I had a lot more toy cars than action figures, so during a lot of my play, I made stories based on the cars as heroes and villains. I can only imagine that one of the creators of Cars did something similar as a kid.
Me: 4/10 “cars just cars what does a pregnant car look like do cars meat this franchise implies that cars meat where they made in a factory why do cars lock themselves do they steal things do they steal organs I have no answers cars has no answers”
Why is Doug asking "why" was this movie made? Is he just being deliberately dense, or just too naive? Didn't the words *CORPORATE SELL OUT* ever cross his mind?
Adrian Fahrenheit How much one needs to "fixate" on that question before the (all too obvious) answer comes to mind? Half a second? Matter of fact, that must be the length of time it too to "develop" this movie's "concept": "Kids like cars. Cars sell toys. *Greenlight immediately*."
Fernie Canto Well, to be fair, even the early pixar movies were also made to sell toys, is just that they cared about the story and characters first, that's why the merchandise that came out of those movies always gets a pass. This one wasn't so subtle about it.
The only reason I love and will always love the first Cars movie is because I always watched it every day as a child, I thought it was the best movie as a child, but now everyone realizes how bad the sequel is, but i'll always love the first movie.
I have to disagree with Doug here. Cars 1 might not be a great movie, it’s definitely one of Pixar’s weaker films. However, I don’t believe it’s nearly as bad as he think it is. The story is a bit generic and predictable, but it’s fairly well-executed and the movie at least understood the story it wanted to tell. Cars 2, on the other hand, was an absolute trainwreck of a sequel that actually deserves the hate and backlash that it gets. The plot was totally uninspired, poorly written, filled with plot holes, lacked the heart and soul of Pixar’s other movies, a racing subplot that ended up being pretty meaningless in the grand scheme of things and was only in the film to pad out the runtime, and worst of all, Mater, an painfully unfunny and annoying comic relief character was the main protagonist of this movie. The only positive quality of the second film was the animation, which was good. That just goes to show how terrible of a movie Cars 2 was when the only good thing is the quality of the animation.
Someone asked me once "what's that Pixar film with the Cars?"
"Cars"
"Yeah Cars"
"Cars"
"Christ YES CARS! what's it called?"
"Cars, is what it is called!
"oh"
But who was on first?

He didn't like it. Not big surprise
+ThatOneShyguy or Planes. XD

Sir Shade Figured as much.
Because John Lasseter likes cars, and he had a really enriching experience going on vacation with his family along route 66 and other backroads of America. That's why this movie was made. Because this was something a really good storyteller was passionate about, something he wanted to share with others :)
In my opinion, the soul of this movie is what makes it stand out.
I respect that
I don’t doubt that there was passion behind this movie, it’s just that the story and characters are dull and not very fun
This is what Pixar was afraid of before bringing Brad Bird into the studio, that they were going to be too confident that their next films would be hits anyway. That's the problem with this movie, John just liked Cars, his studio made hit after hit and he thought that making a movie about Cars was immediately a good idea. Whatever you think about this movie, there is no denying that it didn't pay off as well as the other films
@@isaywhateveriwantandyougot7421 It's Like Lasseter wanted to make movie about cars but couldn't think of a great story to go with it.
Personally speaking, I liked Cars. Story was simple, but it got the message through and made me feel nice watching it. Growing up I was always into auto-racing and NASCAR, so I guess the film probably struck a cord with me that it missed with others.
Cars 2 was... a massive pileup.
I also liked Cars,
As well as Cars 3,
Because they both carry very important life lessons and they actually showed it in such a nice and touching way.
And i agree,Cars 2 really was the worst one.
cars 2 was alright,
3 Was The Massive Screw Up.
@@Lou-yf1jo I love Cars it was my favorite Pixar movie of all time I love it I have the Diecast
The idea for Cars came from John Lasseter himself. He was on a road trip taking all these sites and landscapes and thats when the idea for Cars hit him. The message is to really take a moment to slow down and enjoy the landscapes. I have been on road trips and I can tell you that being in small towns and even ghost towns just really speaks to you in a way.
I can agree! Seeing new things is good!
@@RAtheGoodRailfanner_888 and he had the eye windshield stylist inspiration from Susie the little blue coupe
John Lasseter sucks but even a broken clock is right twice.
Cars, the game on Ps2 was my childhood xD
Fookin yes!!!
Yessssss!
I still own it it was (and still is) a really fun game. Especially the tractor tipping and put stop mini games. XD

Monster Hunter Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts.
To be honest, I actually enjoyed that game, but that's just me.
I like the movie, i don't understand at all the amount of hate this movie gets, i kind of believe hating cars is like a gimmick or something, idk. btw i'm not a car person or nascar fan, i just find it weird and forced that so many adult people say they "hate" this kids movie. still love the critic.
The reason it gets so much hate is because the sequels it spawned sucked, so people saw the flaws in the first one and started to chew it up.
there are far worst sequels of kids movies imo, still that doesn't explain people going out of their way to bad mouth a kids flick
Yurriaan Van Duyn i don't think people got anything past their thick skull, ever. a movie is as good as the team involved really. aside from snobby artsy rich kid directed movies, the purpose of all movies is to make a profit, you know, so that people can buy food and shelter and raise their kids and stuff. if the movie is good the top level people involved gets more money and more movie opportunities.
I loved the movie. It was smart, it had good themes, and it was HIGHLY underrated. Is it the best? No. Is it my favorite? Nostalgia. Are the characters great? Doc, sally, lightning, mater, doc, Doc, Doc, oh and Doc.
@@isaywhateveriwantandyougot7421 f**k you asshole!!!
This was my introduction to Owen Wilson & it's 1 of my all-time favorite Disney movies. I've been a fan of this movie ever since I saw it in theaters back in 2006.
I kind of have a soft spot for this movie, but it could've been better. This movie should've stayed a one-off.
This is my favorite pixar film. Nostalgia and doc. Those are the main reasons.
if only
It was my childhood I LOVED IT, SO i have a soft spot for it too, soo yeah NASTOLGIA MAN, its not my favorite now but i still cant hate it...
Imagine if Toy Story was a standalone film, THIS was their first movie to get a sequel and has the most of them to this day. Seriously? Even if Cars was liked, it was the weakest thing they had made, did we really need more of this?
@@isaywhateveriwantandyougot7421 really? Cars is the worst? Honestly, Cars is the only movie that I'm NOT bored to death of. Toy Story, Coco and Finding Nemo Are sort of tolerable. But, Rattatue? Brave? A Bugs Life? Just boring and bad...
I'm very disappointed with the review of this movie. "I don't get it" isn't a satisfying conclusion. Also complaining about the concept of a world with car people doesn't tell me why its a bad idea, or what could have been done instead. Just that the critic didn't like it. I ironically found this review boring and disappointing. I'm not really sure why this review was made, except for that the idea is to review every pixar movie.
And people say the Star Wars fanbase is bad, when are we going to escape from people like you?
@@aaron_manna yes it is. + you shouldn't complain about me being late, your comment is even younger than mine

That is probably not a brilliant paragraph I think I’ve ever read about cars
Shit I didn’t mean to say not
I have a car.... and he hates this movie
Your car's a "he"?
+PichanPerkele my car's a "he" too. Called him cerulean or Eian for short.
We have a guy car too, his name is William. We also have a bunch of girl cars.
Paul Newman made me love this movie. He is my favourite actor of all time and his performance as Doc was beautiful. I loved it just as much as some of his others
Yes it’s a movie that gives me butterflies in my stomach and there’s only one of the movie that’s done that and that’s endgame to me
I liked Cars, hated Cars 2. Cars 2 threw out all the rules established in the first movie.
+Lawrence Tider This movie had rules?
It didn't have rules, and Cars 2 is underrated
Billy Barnett
Ahh the old, "maybe if I say it, it will become true" tactic.
+Billy Barnett The "rules" I mean are how they established the fictional world. In Cars 1, it was established that what we see is analogous with our real world (with the same physical limitations), except everything is cars. Cars 2 suddenly decided that fantastical James Bond spy fantasy is also part of this carworld, throwing out any attempt of realism.
Point me to where in the film they "established" anything!Lawrence Tider
I love this film. I can't get enough of it.
I get where Doug is coming from. I did like this movie, The second movie, however, should have never been made.
+TenmaHakusho Then... there was Planes.
Kill it with fire
+TenmaHakusho First movie had some weird charm to it you can't really explain, second movie was a cash grab.
+EeveeParty97 the first one was decent because it was more laid back than the second and was mostly set in a town stuck in the booming culture and the rustic charm of the 1950s.
Second one on the other hand tried way too damn hard on making sense that it ends up making none in the end. Seriously, a rusty tractor as a secret agent?
+EeveeParty97 IT WAS THE COLORS AND SOUNDS, everything just felt smooth and like your were riding along with these smart cars.
Sakamoto -san If they were going to reference a James Bond film, why not just put human characters in it, why Cars?
I liked Cars.. :(
Same here that's my childhood movie but he does make a good point.
Kevin Alvarez Yeah... I wanted Incredibles 2 more..
+Dread Naught Theres been rumers about a second Incredibles film but I'm not sure if its true.
Kevin Alvarez I meant in 2006 instead of Cars.
+Kevin Alvarez Idk, we had a video game sequel but that was it for The Incredibles
I don't really get the joke/point Doug's trying to make about the stadium full of cars watching a race. Isn't it no different than a stadium full of people watching a football game?
Aside from that, I liked this movie a lot and I still do. I like the colors, I love the roar of the engines on surround sound speakers, I like the music they chose even though I'm not a huge fan of country music, I like the characters, and I like the story even if it has been done before. I don't care much for cars, but my dad does, and it was one of the few movies we ever bonded over.
Cars 2, though....
Cars.
The only franchise where country music is beautiful.
It's weird when the reason someone doesn't like a movie seems almost entirely meta. Does he have anything bad to say about the movie itself? Not really.
Instead, he complains about it on a meta level. It's a story that's been done before. The company that made it already released a CG movie with humans in it, so he doesn't like that they went back to non-living things. Not everyone likes cars (the vehicle, not the movie). Etc.
It sounds a lot like hype-backlash. He built up some sort of expectation in his mind (human characters) and when Pixar didn't deliver, he just hated the product without giving it a chance.
I don't see any reason why an animation company should do *only* movies with people in them, just because they have the technology. Sometimes, the world they want to create is just "What if everyone was replaced by cars?" If that's where their imagination took them, then so be it. Why was it made? Because that's what a producer liked.
Personally, I like Cars (the movie). I know next to nothing about cars (the vehicle) except the very basics from how to drive them. I don't care about racing. Sure, I've seen the "jerkwad hero learning that winning isn't everything" story quite a lot. But the movie was enjoyable despite that.
It's like how a lot of Americans hate the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode Take Me Out To The Holosuite, while Europeans don't see the fuss. The episode is nothing but baseball movie cliches. It was made because the producer liked baseball. Americans hate it for meta reasons: They've seen baseball cliches done to death. Europeans don't care and see the episode as harmless fluff, a breather in the war story arc.
1. Why are you reading so far into this when what he does won't affect you in the slightest.
2. So what if it is an animation company that doesn't mean everyone is gonna wanna see inanimate objects come to like or animals being personalized.
3. It's great that you found something to like about it but that doesn't mean he has to
4. Why bring up something that has nothing to do with what we are talking about
5. Why should he give a damn what you think of his opinion
And 6. Why do you even care so much about why he dislikes it
Um dude why do you care so much about why I was asking so many questions? Those are legit good questions. Opinions are opinions not facts. This person was practically going out of their way to say why Doug was wrong for disliking this movie. I don’t understand why people get so upset over things like this as it doesn’t in any way affect them at all. It’s just someone’s personal preference.
Um I’m sorry WTF was all that. All I was saying is why should someone change their opinion on something just because someone else disagrees with them. I didn’t need a full blown lecture of the art world. All that did was give me a massive headache it confused me so much. Also all this talk of subjective and objective, what the hell does any of that even mean in the art world? Why did my calling this person out on them going into way to much detail on why Doug was wrong for his reasons of disliking this movie warrant an unnecessary full blown lecture on the world or art. I wasn’t even talking about the world of art, I was asking why this person cared so much about Doug hating this movie. I should also be asking you why you seem to care so much about it that you felt you had to lecture me about the world of art. My gosh one thing to remember when doing anything in this world is that try as you might, you can’t please everyone so you shouldn’t try to.
Ok maybe maybe I didn’t make myself clear so my apologies for that. I’m glad you are very passionate about this subject. I’m not discouraging that at all. I’m sorry if it seemed like I was. It just that it sounded like the main commentor (sorry if I spelled that wrong.) was telling Doug his opinion was wrong. To me, telling someone that their opinion is wrong is a big offense because it’s Like telling people they can’t think for themselves. If opinions didn’t exist, then we wouldn’t be individuals. This is a subject I’m very passionate about because individuality is what makes all of us special, it makes us unique. Telling someone their opinion is wrong simply because you say it is sounds like a very controlling statement. You can however tell someone that they got their facts wrong about something and that might change their opinion. If what you were doing is the latter and not the former, then my apologies.
It does indeed thx
I don't care what anyone says, this is my favorite movie ever.

Yeah. This is one of my favorite Pixar films too

What's wrong with not having human characters? What's so great or interesting about humans?
+LB Pixar doesn't do humans very often. When they do, it's kind of a big deal.
humans are involved in a lot of pixar movies though. only Cars/Cars 2, Monsters U, and Bug's Life dont have them. and in everything else they play a big part. Humans cause the trash build up in Wall-e, Andy looses Buzz and Woody and they need to escape from Sid, Al kidnaps Woody, human kids provide scream in Monsters Inc, in Toy Story 3 Andy going off to college sets everything into motion, in Inside Out you are litterally inside a human brain, Ratatouille is kinda obvious along with Up and Brave.
+Brandon Thompson I think the point is more human MAIN characters, not background or secondary. Ratatouille is more about the rat, Wall-e is of course focused on Wall-e, Toy story couldn't give less of a crap about the humans, and Monsters Inc focuses more on the monsters. So out of all the movies you listed, only Inside Out, Up, and Brave focus on humans. And even then, Inside Out focuses on the emotions struggle than the people they inhabit.
CaptTeK2 true, but they make it sound like we've never seen humans in Pixar movies before
+LB That's not really what is really the problem with the film, even if the story had been about humans it still would have sucked.
I like Cars, but it's really not that great. Cars 2 on the other hand...
......is great?
+TrevorSpace Animation Cars is a Doc Hollywood ripoff
I don't think it is
HOW DARE YOU EVEN STATE THAT SIN! Wash your mouth out with accede right now!
+TrevorSpace Animation Is terrible......
Hey guys look were making a sequal to cars!
*silence*
what? were a toy company now, get with the times!
+Darkghost_ Did this movie really have that many toys made for it?
+Buc Whovian oh yeah, thats the only reason a sequel was so quick to be made, tons of toys.
+Buc Whovian This movie is still getting tons of toys made for it
Bourbon Brisk
Maybe they are from the sequel.
Buc Whovian No cars is just an easy franchise to make toys around. All they have to do is grab a random vehicle and slap a face on it, and they have another toy, and that's just the basic collectables. If you go onto Toywiz and click cars it is separated into about 60 different pages.
I played a lot with toy cars as a kid, so this naturally clicked a lot of nostalgia buttons for me.
Dude...its creative,beautifully animated,the music was amazing and the Voice acting and characters are memorable and enjoyable! No disrespect but I loved this film
I really liked the animation here, how they made cars emote without making them too humanoid. Especially if they're driving while doing it, it looks just... right for car-people-things. Otherwise it's pretty cliche, but I appreciate the effort put into making car-people emote and behave just like you'd imagine car-people would(though I'm not sure you'd routinely imagine how living car-beings would emote).
This film was my childhood, right alongside code lyoko and pokemon. I love this film, as well as the sequels.
Cars was a decently solid film.
The story may have been done to death but to be fair it did match the tone they were going for.
I thought the film looked rather nice and unique with a handful of very postcard-like images.
Doug neglected to mention the calming and bright soundtrack along with a couple of really nice quiet moments.
The film has a strange concept and one or two plot holes, but I personally think that the pacing, presentation, and pixar charm pull it through to be placed on top of bug's life and brave, but quite a few marks under up, toy story 2 and the incredibles.
LOVE your work Doug, but... i gotta disagree with you on this one.
Plus a film about cars shouldn't be that strange given that we all adore mutant turtles that are ninja's.
I dont think he'd like the soundtrack. I think it's by Randy Newman so....... But I really love the soundtrack
It's a harmless movie which was made to sell toys and had a good lesson for children, and while it is not ground breaking, it is still not horrible like robots
What's wrong with it? It was a childhood favourite of mine.
+kanishq ruhil If you're talking about Robots with Robin Williams; that's one of my favorite movies. What exactly was so bad about it?
+Rodin Claus I think with Robots, it can be a bit tedious when the movie is throwing so much stuff at you and not giving any time for you to take any of it in. Like Cars, it's not as horrible as people make it out to be, but for me it's also not something I'd probably watch a second time
+kanishq ruhil The first movie wasn't made only to sell toys, the second movie was.
As someone who repeatedly watched that movie as a kid, I now think it's just awful. The story is so recycled, the characters are boring (even Robin Williams's character, sadly), and there was a serious lack of good jokes. There were a few funny lines, like out of Robin Williams, but it's mostly forgettable if you only see it once.
Something I’ll give credit to is that the ending of the movie doesn’t go full 100% cliche, it’s not like they have Lightning McQueen decide to walk away from his racing career in favor of living a smaller, simpler life in Radiator Springs or anything like that, it’s more like they end on sort of a middle ground, he makes Radiator Springs popular again and still goes there but he doesn’t give up his racing career either, he still continues on with it and even makes Mater and the other characters his pit crew, for all the stories about the big hotshot celebrity getting dragged into the slums this one at least doesn’t follow *ALL* the cliches
The second best joke in the movie is in the casting. George CAR-lin! Ahahahahaha...may he rest in peace.
I will agree that this movie isn't the best Pixar movie but I do actually really like this movie. I thought it was funny, had great characters, some wonderful moments where it just slows down and lets you take in the scene. Like with the cruise scene or the drive scene. I don't care if the stories been done over and over and I hate that kind of argument against any movie because to me it's not important if the stories original, it's how they tell the story and the characters they use to tell it. And to me Cars does it very well. I can't think of a single main or secondary character that I didn't like in this film. I've scene this movie a dozen times and I'll continue to see it a dozen times more.
Jonathan Tefft Agreed, I don't like Cars 2 or Brave, (haven't seen TGD) but this one was good and I actually think this is Pixar in their roots (Toy Story and A Bugs life, both and Cars directed by John Lasseter). Simple concepts done great and charming, also Randy Newman.
I like the characters but I don't love them, I kinda find Mater annoying ala Jar Jar Binks, but it had his moments
Not the best Pixar Movie, but I still like it. Also Cars 2 had one charming moment, while Brave didn't have a single one, thus, Brave is the WORST Pixar Movie for me
I couldn't have said it better myself! I love this movie for all the reasons you pointed out! This movie is great :D
I lost you at: "cars isnt the best Pixar movie"
@@isaywhateveriwantandyougot7421 also, shut up asshole
Oh, NOW you delete your comment!! Well for anyone who wants to know, he said: "who asked for your opinion?"
Then Turbo came in, and copied the plot from this (and Ratatouille).
And the rest was history.
Turbo wasn't actually as bad as it was made out to be.
Don't forget that the main human guy in that film (the younger brother working in the taco stop just looked like a grown up Russell
+Rob Bob But this one already copied the plot of Doc Hollywood. Look it up, it's the EXACT same plot, except the main guy is a doctor and has a rival for the local darling's affections.
Turbo was just marketing material for the IndyCar Series.
Car's already ripped off the plot of Doc Hollywood as it is.
I don't get the hate here. I mean, I don't really care for cars either, but is it that much dumber than a movie about bugs are fish?I loved this movie. And the ending caught me by surprise. I think so often the Hero wins, and I thought the message that winning isn't everything is a rare one these days as they hero usually does win.
That ending was simply beautiful
Exactly. The first Cars film is great, and the third is essentially a return to form. It's just the second one where things got rocky, and that was because the plot was completely all over the place.
Aeradom “I don’t care for cars.” “I loved it.” Pick a fucking side dumbass.
@@mattschumacher4581 I think he meant he loved the movie Cars even though he doesn't really care for automobiles.
Matt Schumacher yeah think about what you say first
Cars is my second favorite Pixar movie, deal with it, I SAID DEAL WITH IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow, near 0:45 I never noticed as a kid how those "female" cars "flashed" him lol
You just blew my mind. Now I'm going to make people rewatch it just so I can point that out to them
Cars is so good because of the characters and the setting. The characters are brilliant and the setting is beautiful. The passion put into it is also really nice
I didn't love "Cars", but I do have to give it credit for one thing: John Lasseter said he made this movie because he loves cars and the art of animation thanks to his parents, but most importantly because of a summer-long camping trip with his family that brought them closer together. I think we can all agree, that's pretty solid motivation to make a movie.
LIFE IS A HIGHWAY
AND I'M GONNA RIDE IT
ALLLLLLLLLL NIGHHHHHTTTTTT LOOOOONNNNGGGGG
If you're going my way
Well, I want to drive it all night long
Yeah I loved this movie, simply because when it came out I was 4 (which wow thanks for making me feel old). So this was my first time seeing this formula done, along with the fact that young boys (which I was) love cars growing up, hot wheels wouldn’t be a thing otherwise. So it really hooked us.
Forget Cars 3, just say Pixar's Planes, Trains, and Automobiles.
2:32 My reaction to the good dinosaur
Same here.
CARS WAS MY CHILDHOOD!!!!!!!!!!!
Plot twist: This was all a sequel to Maximum Overdrive.
I think Jontron perfectly got how I feel about Cars
My Grandpa went gaga for this movie solely because they made the "Hudson Hornet" a character and when he was a little boy he was a HUGE fan of the real one.
Also one of his retirement hobbies is making wooden cars for children so he kind of used the characters as models for a good while.
Never understood the hate for cars
I didn't get why this movie was made. I'm not particularly a car person even as a kid back then, but I'm fine with people liking this film if they do. I love your rereleases of Disneycember Doug. Keep it up and I might binge watch them for a marathon up til Christmas and New Year.
+Andrew “MartialKaiju98” Pham i think one of the goals of this movie was to help Rascal Flatts and give more attention to Route 66. it also had the goal of showing what once was to a younger generation.
Lasseter took his family on a road trip for summer vacation that pin points where Route 66 used to connect. So he combine that experience and his love of cars and you get this movie.
The Pixar Theory. Look it up.
The movie was made in honor of John Lasseter's love of cars and childhood memories. I personally love this movie. If you ignore the fact that, yeah the idea is a little silly, then you'll find yourself loving the characters. Doc Hudson was always my favorite and he was the reason I started liking Hudson Hornets to begin with. I think the story is great, even if it is done to death. I know a lot of people hate this movie, but it's actually one of my favorites from Pixar :)
@@Sqwivig I couldn't lve these characters, sorry, no way
I liked this movie a lot.
I didn't watch it when it came out (I was 14-15 at the time), but my cousin (who was two at the time) fell IN LOVE with it...
Even tho this is NOT one of my favorites to look at. But I still feel like this film was entirely paying homage to some of Disney's classic cartoons from the 1950's . Such as: "Susie: The Little Blue Coupe" I remember watching that when I was a kid! :D
Cars is a film aimed at young boys, which is where it made its biggest impact. I used to work retail, and the cars shoes were amongst the biggest sellers in my department, but they were almost exclusively found in the toddler boys department, which shows you what demographic Pixar was aiming at. Someday soon, my nephew will be obsessed with this film franchise. He LOVES vehicles and having a whole film starring them will be of huge appeal (right now my sister and her husband don't allow him to watch full length films because of his age). He already loves Cars Land in Disneyland.
I will admit, though, it is harder to make a kids film aimed at boys than it is to make a kids film aimed at girls for some reason. Pixar does it better than Disney, but I think that is because they /usually/ don't necessarily market to a particular gender. They, like Ghibli, make family films. Cars, though, is very definitely aimed at boys.
Who hyped for Cars 3?
Nobody because it bombed
My favourite god damn Pixar movie. Hands down. There is nothing better than this for me.

Erik István Fejes Don't look at the Ernest Saves Christmas review then.
FINALLY! Someone who agrees with me!
I have to admit, I loved this movie. I even have quite a few of the die-cast metal figurines. Even I have let down the hype of the film a year after I stopped buying the figurines. Still an okay movie in my mind, but I found the figurines more enjoyable than the film because I always liked physical objects rather than something that was digital.
"We all change."
Doug Walker, 12/16/2015
I loved this movie when it first came out, and I love it now. One of my top 5 animated movies ever. The ending in particular gets me every single time.
I liked this movie and the movie after
Hell I even liked planes
diiidn't see Planes Fire rescue though.
F&R was just made purely to sell toys
I like all these movies myself, even if the story has been done before, I just love how they put those scenarios in this world! The movie is about Dusty having to become a firefighter to keep his town from being removed due to unacceptable fire safety precautions. Even MORE stressful is the fact that Dusty has a condition in his engine that keeps him from going super fast, where he may never race again. (just after becoming a racer too!) The movie struck a cord for me on Dusty's condition, because it feels SO true to how real it is to an athelete. There are times when an athlete has to stop doing the sport they love to play in, mostly because their body can't take anymore strain. Even more heartbreaking when all the training leading to that big game ends in a fracture, or having to bench because of muscle spasms. I still don't get how people hate these movies, but I respect their decisions. But like you, I love all of the Cars & Planes movies!
Well, glad I never watched planes
I love Cars and it’s one of my favorite Pixar movies. It was fun, entertaining, it has some funny jokes, some great music, and awesome characters with great voice acting. It’s a childhood favorite.
Cars was one of the last films staring the late Paul Newman
Cars is one of my favorite movies of all time
I actually enjoy Cars. Cars 3 is to date my favorite Pixar film.
When this movie came out I was a kid, and I only watched it because my brother wanted to watch it, I remember liking it, but looking back I believe I'm more attached to everything else that came with the movie like the first video game and the toys. On his own the movie isn't that great (it was sure better than the sequels) but it came with other material so it was just fine.
Cars (10/10)
Cars 2 (7/10)
Cars 3 (10/10)
I honestly loved this movie when I was a kid for some reason I just couldn’t stop watching it, I got a lot of the car toys and I had cars window stickers that were on my window for years! yes the entire premise of cars is dumb and Pixar has made better but I can’t hate the first movie at all and still kinda like it today since it was a part of my childhood. But cars 2 can go die
I had no idea that the hippie van was voiced by George Carlin. that guy was a comedic legend rip
He was also the narrator in the 1st 4 seasons of Thomas.
When I first saw the trailer for this film, I thought, "What the? Did they just make a feature length version of that old 'Susie the Car' Disney short?" Because, you know, the character designs for the cars in this movie look a lot like the style used for the character designs from that short. In fact, the love interest is a blue car just like Susie in the original short, and if I remember correctly Susie's love interest was a red hot rod...
Yeah. That alone made me decide never to see this movie. It's "Susie the Car: The Movie" to me, and that's what it'll always be.
Oh Doug, if only you'd seen the extras on your DVD of this movie if you have it; you would have known the reason why this movie was made. It was made because the director loved the trips he took with his family when he was a kid along the Route 66. This movie is as much about that as every lesson that was put into the movie, like respecting your elders, and not looking down on people just because they talk and look funny.
One of the reasons I love this movie is because I actually wanted to see this concept in the movie for many years. I'm not a car guy, but every time I see a car I think it has a face because the front of the car looks that way.
And what is this about Cars doesn't look that great? I think it looks great. The way cars jump sometimes, and just the overall animation is amazing, and colors really pop out as they would on race cars and show cars, and even the rusty cars. And the whole world of Cars looks great too.
And you're forgetting that animated movies are made for kids, even though Pixar makes them for adults as much as for kids. I can understand why you didn't like the movie though, but all the reasons you don't like it for are the reasons for loving it.
Yeah it's sure was for kids when those two female cars "flash" their headlights at mcqueen.
I actually liked this movie quite a bit. It has good characters, great animation {not gonna lie}, some funny jokes, a story that is actually self-aware that its dumb and I really loved the ending to this movie. Plus, Paul Newman was great as always.
Am I the only one who genuinely loves this movie?
No, I love this movie
This is 1 of my all-time favorite Disney movies.
Cars was based on Susie the Little Blue Coupe, and I think you should review that at some point.
I don’t take this movie too seriously. But I enjoy it every watch.
Cars is supposed to be a feel-good film. And it’s Pixar’s most American film.
Is it bad that I liked Cars ? I even have the video game. Its Cars 2 that just makes me cringe. Ugh shudders in disgust ! 😨
Queen LeLe the first movie had some heart put into it, but the second one tried way too hard to sell toys.
Cars 1 2 and 3 are my absolute favorite
Whenever I hear people criticize the world of Cars is broken and makes no sense, I just feel like facepalming myself cause it just sounds like they’re taking their world too seriously. At least the other arguments had something to back it up, but I can’t think of one valid thing that supports that argument. I personally found the concept interesting as a kid and I still found the rest of the film entertaining with its simplicity and message.
Yes
thank you
Someone had to say it
I loved Cars and I still love it I don't know anyone (personally) who genuinely dislikes this movie.
The thing is that it's a race film, with all that imply : the bad behaviour of a famous racer who is in fact a douche and become a good man that understand that we're all the same ; where we live and what we do don't matter. So it's classic but attractive and, when I was kid, I laughed a lot, I cried and I a really got attached to the characters who were all really simple... and that's you need as a kid : simple stuff which create strong story. And about the adults ? I find that's it's a really acidic critic of the star system, which portrayed every kind of guys who live in this system (the humble champion, the big famous douche...) easily to make kids understand who they are and make adults feeling bad or good about their choice : all that's portraits depicted in the films are realistic and represent kind of people that really exist. So before I lose myself in saying huge shit in English (I'm French..and I LOVE THIS FUCKING MOVIE) let's just say that it's entertaining for kids, and that make adults thinking a second time about their idols
I LOVE CARS
Cars :)
Cars 2 :|
Cars 3 :)
We need to forget cars 2
cars is one of my favorite movies
A movie about sentient cars isnt really a weirder concept than one about sentient bugs or toys, right?
I don't get that complaint, but everything else I agree.

Add anything to _what_? A movie has to stand on its own. It added a new story with a new concept. You can't ask for more to be "added".
That's a pretty weak argument. Just because Critic wants to see more humans in these movies doesn't mean that's the majority's interest.
Just so it's clear, I still think this movie was pretty boring, but not because of these points.
IAmTheMikko
By new I obviously meant it was something different from what they did before. I didn't say it was a good story or the ideas were never done before.
The animation quality is not connected to the concept whatsoever.
A movie about a world filled with sentient cars. In Toy Story and a Bug's Life, the world is filled with humans, though the bugs and toys are the center of attention. Cars is just... weird.
whoa whoa whoa! Lightening McQueen was voiced by Owen Wilson!?
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand RIP my childhood.
Matter = Jar Jar Binks of Pixars
Okay, but what does Mater equal
BestintheWorld247 what did Mater ever do to you he is a good little tow truck
This movie is a love letter for NASCAR fans. A lot of references to cars, drivers, and historical moments in its history with moments all throughout that really pay homage. If you're not into NASCAR or racing in general, this probably won't be your movie. It's not an all-rounder like a lot of Pixar's most highly-recieved films.
I'm a racing fan, so you know where I put this. I know Pixar's done a lot better, but this is still my 3rd favorite movie ever made simply because how enjoyable it is, how likeable the characters are for me, and how it truly respecrs me as a racing fan. This is the movie I've watched the most and it's aged very well with time even as I've grown up.
This is actually my favorite of all time. But I do see where Doug is coming from. After movies like Finding Nemo and The Incredibles, I'm guessing a lot of people were expecting something a lot more than just talking cars.
Everyone who reviews this movie talks about the toys that were made, but I never gave it any thought because it doesn't have anything to do with the story.
I think you may have been a little hard on this one. You went into it, saying you don't like cars and know nothing about them. Bad precedence. You didn't crack one smile? Really? It's not that bad of a movie. And I honestly don't think you have to have a passion for cars to enjoy this movie. Yes the concept is simple and been done 100 times, but they it's always a good lesson for kids and there are always kids in that age group that need a movie like this. I can understand where you're coming from but I think because you had a certain mindset going in, you may have nit picked a tad.
Still enjoy your videos regardless, I don't mind disagreeing once in a while lol
The problem is the movie would have been equally boring if they were humans instead of cars, the whole setup was pointless
@@leob4403 This comment is 4 years old...I don't care my dude. Lol
he basically don’t like cars cuz he thinks its weird that it’s about cars
but endgame is about a fat god, talking racoon, a green human, a blue robot, 2 irom man, and a guy with a bow and arrow traveling back in fucking time to find 6 colorful stones to defeat a big purple alien who literally snapped away half of the universe and everybody loves that..... okay
(i love endgame to, dont @ me)
Just wait till cars 3.
After Cars 1 and Cars 2 i won't change opinion just cos of weird trailer.
I will wait for reviews.
I'm not a fan of this movie, but I find the complaint that the characters aren't "human" to be misguided. You can tell a completely "human" story without using humans. You can also tell really cliche stories using humans, cars or whatever. That said, the conceit of the movie sat well with me. When I was a kid I had a lot more toy cars than action figures, so during a lot of my play, I made stories based on the cars as heroes and villains. I can only imagine that one of the creators of Cars did something similar as a kid.
Me: 4/10
“cars just cars what does a pregnant car look like do cars meat this franchise implies that cars meat where they made in a factory why do cars lock themselves do they steal things do they steal organs I have no answers cars has no answers”
John Lasseter made the movie in honor of his father, a man who loved cars, who passed away a few years before. That why they made this movie.
A mediocre honor if you ask me.
Why is Doug asking "why" was this movie made? Is he just being deliberately dense, or just too naive? Didn't the words *CORPORATE SELL OUT* ever cross his mind?
+Fernie Canto Or maybe you're just fixating too much over that question, which clearly is a rhetorical question, yeah, did that ever cross your mind?
Yurriaan Van Duyn I wasn't talking to you.
Yurriaan Van Duyn ok
Adrian Fahrenheit
How much one needs to "fixate" on that question before the (all too obvious) answer comes to mind? Half a second?
Matter of fact, that must be the length of time it too to "develop" this movie's "concept": "Kids like cars. Cars sell toys. *Greenlight immediately*."
Fernie Canto Well, to be fair, even the early pixar movies were also made to sell toys, is just that they cared about the story and characters first, that's why the merchandise that came out of those movies always gets a pass.
This one wasn't so subtle about it.
The only reason I love and will always love the first Cars movie is because I always watched it every day as a child, I thought it was the best movie as a child, but now everyone realizes how bad the sequel is, but i'll always love the first movie.
What are your thoughts on the 3rd movie?
I never liked it. I always thought it and all the movies inspired by it were incredibly stupid.
I liked this movie.
Cars 1 was great. not the best, but one of my favorite Pixar movie. Cars 2 was horrible. Cars 3 was as good as the first one.
The Cars movies are the most light hearted of the Pixar films. I still think the third should’ve been the second though
I really agree with you
I have to disagree with Doug here. Cars 1 might not be a great movie, it’s definitely one of Pixar’s weaker films. However, I don’t believe it’s nearly as bad as he think it is. The story is a bit generic and predictable, but it’s fairly well-executed and the movie at least understood the story it wanted to tell. Cars 2, on the other hand, was an absolute trainwreck of a sequel that actually deserves the hate and backlash that it gets. The plot was totally uninspired, poorly written, filled with plot holes, lacked the heart and soul of Pixar’s other movies, a racing subplot that ended up being pretty meaningless in the grand scheme of things and was only in the film to pad out the runtime, and worst of all, Mater, an painfully unfunny and annoying comic relief character was the main protagonist of this movie. The only positive quality of the second film was the animation, which was good. That just goes to show how terrible of a movie Cars 2 was when the only good thing is the quality of the animation.
Man you really didn’t have childhood if you didn’t enjoy this movie as a kid bruh
