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.

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.

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

5:04 I love the door gag when matter dies First time a car door in the universe has ever shown opening. Its just black void inside :)

Also fun fact. Car washes were in fact from day one, all the way in the 90s of pixar but was scrapped

I think Mater should've lashed back at both his sister and Bubba for mistreating him, cut off contact with them and he and McQueen head home.

your quick rewrite of the show is now what's going to be canon in my head.

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

The first Cars film came out the year I was born, and so I’ve quite literally grown up WITH Cars. It holds a special place in my heart and I don’t think I will ever not live for the thrill of hearing Real Gone blast from my stereo or quoting “Kachow!” whenever I can’t think of anything good to say.

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?

I want to see where Chuck & the rest of Lightning McQueen's past pit crew went next time they make another cars

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.

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

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!

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

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

Am I the only one that wants a Planes review from this channel?

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.

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

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

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

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

I’m excited to see that Tug knows who Bubba is.

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.

YO!!! The BEST Cars on the Road review EVER is back!! This is a miracle.

4:13 "How are they supposed TO PICK THEM U-

They should make a sequel called "Cars: Off the Road"

I remember seeing cars on the road in late September or early October and I enjoyed the show.

1:52 They have the same rectangular windshield, circular headlights, and protruding front fender. Now you tell me they don’t look like siblings

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

After watching GamingMagic13’s review of this show, and after rewatching your review, I dunno what to think about this show, but I’m gonna hold my breath until I can get Disney+! 😂

First time I saw Incredibles 2, I felt like I was eating a favorite dish that was missing a spice. It's like it had the ingredients I loved from the first dish, but it was off. I realize now that secret ingredient was integrity. Good job.

3:56 - 4:14 Unlucky Tug goes crazy slightly 😂

4:13 "How are they supposed to pick them u-?!" XD

I was actually quite surprised when I heard that Buena Vista (Walt Disney’s distributor) was to do a Cars television series.

I honestly mostly felt like watching this because 1. I always liked Cars (unpopular opinion: I only thought Cars 2 was bad by Pixar standards which is a really high bar anyway) and 2. This show had Steve Purcell heavily involved which sold me as someone who happens to be a big fan of Sam and Max, and so much of this kinda reminds of Sam and Max Hit the Road a bit!

I only saw episode 2 when I first saw this I saw the rest of the series. I agree with a lot of tugs points but I still loved the show

We have seen Mater backwards drive in the night forest and we have seen LMq utilize driving backwards AND learn how to drive in a hostile forest at night. I'm surprised that not even once does someone utilize the open road aspect of it all and use these two things in conjunction. They have so many options.

20:39-20:48-It would be nice and appealing if Disney included expanded universe characters in Cars on the Road just like how they included Grand Admiral Thrawn and Rukh in Star Wars: Rebels or Cobb Vanth, Black Krrsantan, and Brendol Hux in The Mandoverse.

Fun fact: this is the first time where he doesn’t mention or show, anything relating to Thomas & Friends

My new favorite nobody asked facts: "Did you know Mater died in the series" and "Did you know Mater is the fastest car in the Cars Universe?"

Could’ve just skipped this entire show if they took a plane

All I can say is I wish the Cars 2 characters showed back up, I loved Finn But yeah, what a great review, I agree whole-heartedly. Would’ve loved the show so much more if they could’ve thrown in as much thought as you

When you say stop motion monster movies, I hope you mean King Kong because Godzilla is all suit-mation. The original King Kong used models for stop motion animation.

Finally I'm so glad that you decide to make the video on this❤❤❤

Enjoyed this series, I actually did!

Im so happy that your channel is back Congrats 🎉

I can't wait for the tatmr reupload

There are straws on the drink glasses.

Good video man I just rewatched all three movies and cars on the road

Haven’t seen the series yet but love your fixes Would love to see your thoughts on the other shorts specials and spin-offs like Planes

This was a great video. I really want to see you do the same style of video on the incredibles

I would have loved to see Mack in the Trucks episode, sure it wouldn't make sense why he is there but I feel like Pixel would have animated him as a cameo in Mater's fantasy

It sounds Like A Good Series 🎉🎉🎊

5:57: Okay, that edit didn't annoy me at all. That just scared me if anything.

Aren't you excited for Cars in Kingdom Hearts 3

I get wits you mean with the 50’s monster movie bit but unfortunately godzilla was not a good choice as he was 99.9% of the time never done with stop motion baring one small moment in the original and one moment in the original kong vs Godzilla

Technically Godzilla was not stop motion it was suit Mation 3:30

I wish McQueen kept his paint job from the end of the 3rd movie

Those scenes when lightning and mater are driving together, reminds me one of the first teaser of Cars where we met lightning and mater for the first time driving and talking along side in the road

If Season 2 of Cars on the Road ever happens on Disney Day (A.K.A. Disney's Birthday...?) Let's hope it shows McQueen, Mater, Cruz and Ivy have new destinations and return home afterwards

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.

Bro, the old faces also counted as the demolition cars in cars 3

4:58 this part made me laugh when I binged watched the episodes with my sister 💀💀💀💀

wasn’t there a car wash in cars 2?

Hey im just glad i get to see lighting back in action the guy was my childhood

Episode 6 was the best. Don’t argue with me, you know I’m right

I haven’t seen this yet, but I can agree that some of these things are basically in the Cars 2 universe

Why is lightning not blue?

If submarines are whales in the cars universe, I wonder what Grampus would look like in said universe.

Number one! Good review!

Loving the Vulfpeck as background music

Here's my opinion mcqueen and mater could meet some of the piston cup racers and their pit crew teams from cars 1

I was sick when it was released so I binged watched it and it did cheer me up has it’s flaws yes but it’s fun

18:41-18:43 “AND HE FAILS”

Mater must be adopted

When i heard of a cars spinoff show i thought of the other racers lightning ran with, really from any of the movies, having their focus in individual episodes to further flesh them out. The focus being on Lightning and Mater dissapointed me a bit. I have not watched this yet, but the announcement of what the show would be distanced me from watching it

HOLD UP I THOUGHT MATER WAS CRAZY!!!😂😂

I don’t care for Cars on the Road as much as Mater’s Tall Tales, but it was pretty good.

I love your revision! ,🔥🥳

Would write in Dusty Crophopper Blade Ranger and the Smoke Jumpers from Planes: Fire and Rescue

The Shining episode of the Cars television series was fantastic lol I’m a die hard Kubrick fan and thought they did a great job of translating the Overlook into the Cars world ❤

Cars 2 is a guilty pleasure for me. Probably because I loved it as a kid and Larry the Cable Guy is one of my favorite comedians. I'm not gonna say this guy's wrong to dislike it, but I look back on it fondly

1:50 He could've been adopted.

Did you know that the whale car wash was going to be in cars 1 and salt flats in cars 3 there are some concept arts of them!

Maybe they use the washer for mud flaps? That’s all I could think of

I'm sorry but my inner geek needs to speak out: at 3:33 you mention "Godzilla" as one of the old classic stop motion movies. This was one of the worst false examples you could've used, as the original Godzilla was specifically known for NOT using stop-motion and instead inventing a new style known as Suit-mation, which became a staple of the series to come.

I see the main point of cars as an "imaginary story about wehicles" . . and because of that is why they can get away with with things like: the weird biomechanical anatomy , or , how can a character a machine from one angle and not from another and other stuff like that , whitch wouldn't make sence irl but works as an imaginary concept

Mcqueen became cruzs crew chief for at least one season we know this becuse of the line "Oh i want to keep racing thers just something i want to do first"

So if youre ok with there being bug cars as shown in Cars 1 why arent you ok with all animals being some variant of a vehicle?

I loved it it was a nice good little show that put me in a good feel also it's short so it was fun. I don't need every show to have some story and plot cause mater and mcquuen are good characters and they shine on the road together to enjoy it.

Idgaf about this series at all but when you talk about it somehow I get so hyped to hear about it 🤣

I think your take on it is absolutely excellent love the idea with bubba

the thing i love most about your re write is including Bubba, he has been forgotten since the comics.

hi tug, im a fan of all the videos and i hope that you read this, Im a fan of both ttte and cars but i would love to see a video about strip weathers, he is imo the best cars racer and i dont see a lot of him!

Better than GamingMagic13’s vid on this show, end tho he made a great point that the Cars franchise deserves better content.

I love the Cars franchise and I love everything about this review!

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.
