hey guys!! thanks for watching my reaction to Cars 💛 so, everyone is obsessed with Mater, right?

The story that Sally tells is true. Historic route 66 stretched from Chicago to LA. People drove on it and would stop off in little towns on the way. In Arizona when I 40 was built several of those small towns were bypassed. As time went on people had no idea there were places to stop because no exit ramps to lead into the small towns or signs. Many of these small towns had to close up and became just an empty place. Lots of livelihoods were lost.

I only recently found out about a book that detailed Lightning's backstory. His real name is Montgomery, and he learned to race at an Racing Academy where the top student would receive a sponsorship. During his time there, McQueen befriended another car named Carl, and the two often spent their time racing each other in friendly competitions. Before the final race of the year, in which would determine who would graduate and earn the sponsorship, Carl told McQueen there was a problem with his car parts (I don't remember exactly what it was) and urged him to remove it to avoid any crashes. However, this was a lie as McQueen was in perfect condition, and this removal made McQueen slower and allowed Carl to overtake him and win the race, and Carl earned the sponsorship, and McQueen felt betrayed by the one who he thought was his friend, and after that, McQueen came to believe that he could only depend on himself and didn't need anyone to avoid suffering another betrayal, which explains his self-confidence and lack of teamwork skills at the beginning of the movie. After graduating and racing on the minor leagues, McQueen was fired from his sponsor, Smell Swell Deodorizer in favor of another young rookie racer named Sammy Smelter, whose poor racing fit the image of Smell Swell better, according to the representative who fired McQueen. Mack, who had overheard McQueen's termination, approached the young hotshot and offered to take him to Boston to meet for a job opportunity with Rust-eze, who had been looking, with little success, for a new spokescar. During their trip, McQueen and Mack became fast friends. Upon their arrival in Boston, Rusty and Dusty Rust-eze offered a sponsorship to McQueen. Though he was initially hesitant due to the sponsor's humiliating demeanor, McQueen ONLY agreed if Rust-eze allowed Mack to become his driver, which they allowed, and that's how McQueen and Mack came to work together.

Doc totally called the press for his own self-interest. He just wanted McQueen gone, he didn't care where.

I love how she went from "i'm not into cars at all" to complimenting the looks of some of the cars several times lol. This movie turned so many kids into car enthusiasts just from the looks and sounds alone lmao.

"Is this like a world full of criminals?" I mean... our own world isn't really lacking criminals.

The reason McQueen got so upset about docs secret is because he never actually had friends that he could tell his hurts and pains with Yet doc has an entire town of friends yet he keeps those pains and hurts inside, and for McQueen who has no one it doesn't really make sense

I grew up with a lot of the early Pixar movies and I certainly watched this one a lot, I think it's one of those movies that can seem silly from the outside but there's some emotional scenes and some great humour as well! Glad you liked it, looking forward to your reactions to the sequels! Keep up the great videos!

First of all, everything you said about Lightning is true. Now on the subject of Doc, the racing world caused him a lot of trauma, so he retired to that small town in order to forget. That is why as soon as he sees Lightning, who represents his past, his first decision is to get him out of town without corcern about the broken road. Doc just couldn't accept that someone like Lightning could change for the better. So when he sees him getting along with his people, Doc identifies him as a threat to his safe place and calls the media to get rid of him. When he sees to what extent his grudge has affected the people of Radiator Springs, he realizes that he has behaved like uncarring and grumpy old man.

Sofie- this is violent Me- that's nascar... 😂😂😂

"Is it about his dream or about money?" Why can't it be both? Having a dream that also mean you'll get a ton of money can't be mutually exclusive, heck, who didn't had a dream about doing something you love and get payed for it? "Who doesn't have a secret that is to painful or embarrassing to share" Sure, with strangers, with people you just met, not with your friends, your supposed true and real friends, that is the point. You can have secrets, but actually hiding who you really are to the people you are supposed to trust is another thing, specially when said secret is kept by spite. Also, Hudson says "best for Everybody" not for McQueen, which makes Sally's statement true, he called the press on McQueen just so he could get rid of him.

Mater was probably my favorite as well. The back story of Doc Hudson and how the town had faded with the interstate being put in are surprisingly emotional. Btw, not sure if someone mentioned but the highway they show the town on Rte 66, is real and WAS the main route from east to west coast USA until they put in more direct interstate freeways. So many towns did just like Radiator Springs and dried up if they were bypassed. Just like Sally said, back then, it was about the trip. Not getting there as fast as possible.

There's one bit in this I'm not sure carries through to younger generations: the two who run Rust-Eze are a pair of brothers named Tom and Ray Magliozzi; they had a popular radio show called "Car Talk" for many years where they would give advice to people on how to fix up their cars. It was fun to hear them in a Disney movie.

Tractor tipping is akin to cow-tipping. Everyone claims to know someone who has done it, some say grey used to do it. Nobidy quite knows how its supposed to work.

There is a book that the director made about how Luigi and Guido came too America, they lived in Italy and wanted to go too America where dreams came true, and did a big road trip and went to there uncles store in Radiator Springs, and he gave them the store and Luigis Uncle went back to Italy. There’s also a lot of other stories about Mater, Ramone and Flo.

_"This is so violent!"_ The sequel, Cars 2, has an actual, *2 DIGIT BODY COUNT.*

In the trains defense.: A train cannot stop quickly, so they have no choice but to just run into a car if a car is stupid enough to be in the way.

Most underrated Pixar film to date. There was so much to love about this movie!

29:30 At one side, it would've been better for McQueen to stay there, since that was what he was looking for all along. A family; Real Friends At the other side, he had the biggest race of his life the next day, so it was also best for him to go and do this race. However, Doc called McQueen's team out of a selfish desire, not because he wanted the best for McQueen. It really has a great conflict between all of these characters. And yes, I guess he could've gone back, but that just ruined the moment you know. It was the first time McQueen actually got to experience quality time with friends, and it was taken away from him

II found your channel around two weeks ago, and I've quickly become obsessed! I love your sense of humor and how you react to certain moments.

28:11 it is impressive. It’s hard for people to admit when they’ve been living their lives fundamentally wrong for so long and even harder to change something so seemingly basic about themselves.

Chick Hicks: “That must’ve been embarrassing. But I wouldn’t worry about it. BECAUSE I DIDN’T DO IT!”

I don't know why this movie has such a "just for kids" reputation. I saw it without expectations, and I liked it a lot. Later I found out it has a reputation being exclusively for car-obsessed little boys. While I understand the impression came from the marketing and all the toys, it really is a fun family picture.

To answer a few questions about tractor tipping, it's the equivalent of cow tipping, second Frank is a combine (Case IH AFX 7010 specifically) and third it's just a fun country boy game, not some degenerate crime.

I would always pretend to be Lighting as a kid, and run around with my friends making car sounds. This movie was a big part of my childhood

You might not like the 2nd Cars movie because it’s more focused on Mater and secret spy agents. I actually did like it when I saw it in theaters. There’s an airport scene as seen in the previews. I’d love it if you reacted to that full scene for next week ;)

A part of Americana. US Route 66 (the Mother Road0 was the big highway pre-WW II, 1920s until the 1960s. Would take you all the way from Chicago to LA. But when the interstate highways got built after WW II, it became obsolete. Little places that had been prosperous were left marooned if the interstate didn't pass thru them. These little islands of neglect and poverty are nostalgia for the Boomers and their parents/grandparents. That kitsch motel is like the places my parents and I stayed at, when I was a boy, and the older stuff like when they were newlyweds. My father had his own racer dreams, that he had to give up to be a responsible husband and father. It took multiple decades, but I got to retire to a region like my early childhood, to a loving place in the South West like that, not like LA or Chicago ;-)

I am surprised that so many people don‘t like cars 2. I watched it million times on dvd as a kid. It sure is a Mater focused film, but i liked it. Give it a chance, take it as it is and make your own opinion on it.

I really don't know what to do with a glass of wine watching a video of a girl looking at cars for the first time, but I can say that it is the best thing that has happened to me in the day (by the way Sophie I will not stop recommending you both corpse bride and coraline, both are amazing)

I may be misunderstanding, sorry if I am. But from 17:32-17:42 when he said chicks he didn't mean girls he meant Chick Hicks (the green car with the moustache grill) he's worried that Chick Hicks is rubbing shoulders with the brand Dynaco - the premier brand he (Lightning) wanted to be endorsed by next and that even though the race would happen, that shoulder rubbing would sway Dynaco into Chick's favor. That's all. Btw Dynaco is named after the gas station company in Toy Story (in the scene where buzz and woody hop into the Pizza Planet truck in Toy Story 1 you can see the Dynaco sign in the background). Great reaction 👍

The main reasons why Cars is my favorite movie of all time is: 1. The entirety of my childhood The series in general took over my childhood, bought all the merchandise and bought all 3 movies on CD (it was the early 2010s) 2. It's different from Disney but familiar to Pixar Pixar really tried with this movie as it was the final movie made before Disney bough them, so I can tell they wanted to please their fans with one final story that truly sets the golden age of animation films. And cars was just that. Now I'm not saying that all Pixar films after Cars were bad (in fact it's the opposite for almost all of them) but I'm saying that this is the last time they really tried 3. It's unique It was unique for the time. And it still kind of is in both the story and character designs. Nowadays, when you see any car films, rarely do you see them have the design and realness that the cars in this film have. And that's why I love it. 4. Memorable characters I know you touched on this in the video, and I agree with you, I think no one could ever beat Larry the Cable Guy when it comes to voicing mater. And it's not just for him. Please just take a moment to look at the list of the many talented actors who were brought in for this movie Thanks a lot for reviewing this movie, and the video itself was so damn good. Me watching this video and thinking about the movie gave me all the memories from the past 13 years back to me. And I thank you so much for that. I'm sorry if this comment was way too long but at the end of the day, this is all coming from the heart.

This movie got me into racing and also Nascar. Like for every US based Nascar fan imagine a 5 year old German boy who draws his first racetrack and its an oval. That's a statement. I don't think I would be the absolute racing nerd I am today without the opening scenes of this movie. Also Real gone by Sheryl Crow is a soundtrack for life. When my year graduated from Gymnasium (high school) every student was allowed to play a song and this one almost made it. F&F Soundtrack just came first due to F&F developing me more characterwise I guess. But still Cars is my favorite childhood movie and definitely the one having the greatest impact on my life.

This is one of my favorite Pixar movies ever. I watched this so much as a kid, sometimes even keep the DVD menu screen playing.

A little fact: the sponsor of Chick Hicks (the number 86) is Hostile Takeover Bank. Now that is some quality name, huh?

Pixar really tweaked the physics model in this movie, from the unique individual exhaust notes per car, to the way the tires and suspension flex with the loads encountered during racing, the difference between grip on asphalt or dirt, even down to the rubber “marbles” (tire tread fragments burned off at speed) on the track… The King’s crash was a nearly frame by frame re-creation of Rusty Wallace’s ‘93 crash kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qLZpo9B-tq3LiKs.html

Absolutely love this film 😁 All 3 Cars films are amazing in their own way, however a lot of people hate Cars 2 along with critics, but I personally enjoy it.

This movie was my childhood. I am certain I have seen it over 50 times. It's nice to see people are still watching it and discovering it. Great commentary.

Richard Petty did the voice of the King. the race in California, Petty actually had an accident like what they show in the movie. Petty raced NASCAR

0:30 don't tell me you know robots, that's the second childhood movie I've never heard someone talking about anywhere that you've seen 😂 you have to react to it too on this channel some day!

Cars is such an underrated Pixar film. I wish more people thought to watch this when they think Pixar, because the message in this film is so good as is the movie. And that JDM car scene 🔥. Great reaction

Fun fact: the train scene is a reference to a scene from the first Fast & Furious film, where Dom and Brian drag race to a railroad track, and manage to cross it just before a freight train comes rushing by.

WOOO! The first movie I ever saw in cinemas and my personal favourite Pixar film! Loved that you enjoyed it.

and THAT is a reaction everyone deserves to see, all those whose reaction consists only of gasps laughs and awes was becoming kind of dull norm. Thanks for including genuine speech about self-centered protagonist, that might have been more interesting than this movie, and I tell you "Cars" is pretty interesting enough on its own, so make of it what you will :D Liked&Subscribed

McQueen "Doc has three piston cups" Mater "He did what in his Cup? "

I've watched most of your videos and now I'm cycling back through, you're so great :)

I am a massive fan of Cars, I always cry when McQueen helps The King. He had such a great development arc.

Your editing is so fun. It's the first video I am watching from you and I am sure, I will stay. The 3 cars movies are my absolute favorite and I am glad to see you react to this ^^

This was the first movie I ever saw in a cinema, and it's still one of the only movies to fully capture my childhood and take me back there.

"this is violent" just wait till cars 2...

Cars was the first Pixar movie I ever saw in theaters, so it holds a special place in my heart and is one of my favorite Pixar movies. ❤

Owen Wilson is a national treasure I love em

A cool fact is that the blue racecar The King is voied by Richard Petty who is nown as The King in the NASCAR series and its his Plymouth Superbird

Yes! I'm a huge fangirl of this franchise and have an obsession with it! I was so happy when my recommendations dropped me this video! Cars will forever be my favorite franchise. I love the story, animations, soundtrack, characters, etc! The first and third one made me cry ugly af. Thank you for reacting to this! Another on of my face that's definitely worth checking out is Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron. That movie makes Lion King look cheap lol!

Cars 3 gives more insight to why exactly he had to stop racing: SPOILER WARNING AHEAD It's not that they gave up on him. It's that by that point he was so old to where if he'd gotten into another wreck, he wouldn't have survived it. Retiring when he did gave him more years of his life he never would've had if he'd kept racing.

Everybody needs a bestie like Mater

I love Cars

This girl is so funny🤣🤣🤣 love her genuine reactions and comments👌🤣🤣🤣

I remember seeing this in the cinema when I was 6! Life Is A Highway is a song I still listen to on a regular basis!😅

I love seeing reactions to this movie, i saw it back in 2006 in the movies and has been really special to me since, its so interesting to see someone see it only now

"Find Yourself" is a great country song by Brad Paisley

One of the best movies from pixar

Hey fun fact here Stanley isn't Maters ancestor. He is the Town Founder but he's Lizzies husband and that statue's there to honor him.

Amazing choice and reaction as always Sophie

Someone said before that this and Thor 1 are the same: A pretentious prick gets stuck in the middle of a desertic small town where he learns the power of friendship and team work and falls in love with a very capable female. I think about it every week when I watch cars but I'm not that sure cause I only watched Thor once 🤷🏻‍♀️

Man, the inside of that big rig carrying Mcqueen, the with soft neon lights on the walls, reminds me of when I was in the 3rd grade and our school sent us on an end of the year field trip and they rented this really REALLY nice tour bus that had carpeted flooring, and cushioned seats, air conditioning vents next to the windows and little tv screens on the back of the chairs to watch a movie on. and anyway, the bus also had these soft neon lights on the walls of the bus that came on automatically at night, and that's the memory lol.

Fun fact, Mater had to be renamed to Martin in the French version of the film because the "Tuh Mater, but without the 'Tuh'" joke couldn't be translated to French. The joke in French is "Aston Martin, but without the 'Aston'".

Man this movie was my entire childhood to the point where I’ve watched this sometimes in the recent past. This was something that was a must watched at the time

01:16 I hadn't had breakfast so I paused video and went to get breakfast :D

The days where kids movies taught kids about good values

Paul Newman voiced Doc Hudson. This was one of his final movies.

Omg yes this is my favourite movie 😭. So many childhood memories with this movie. So many infact I can recite almost every line while watching the movie.

I LOVE CARS!!!!!!!!!!!! GLAD THAT YOU ARE REACTING TO THIS!

The only Pixar franchise I can definitely say I’m obsessed with. Although, funny enough I wasn’t that interested in Cars when it came out. Instead, I was way more interested in the Cars video game. Of course nowadays I’m interested in both. People basically just criticize this franchise for not having that Pixar feel (most likely). But I think that’s a good thing, because they were trying to be different.

This is basicly the emperor's new groove

11:06 I have learned a lot from rewatching these childhood movies...I never expected a 101 What Not to do when attempting to flirt.... huh... Love the reaction as always!

haven't watched this movie in a very long time but rewatching it is so funny , a lot of hidden jokes i missed as a kid

This has been my favorite Pixar movie ever since i was a little kid. This movie will always have a place in my heart. Doc's story was sad but im pretty sure it is explained more im cars 3

Alternative title: CARS IS A CRIME. Lol. Love this content lol

Finally someone is reacting to this underrated movie. Will you react to the sequels as well? Since you love Mater, you will love Cars 2, the most underrated pixar movie.

I literally rewatched this movie After years on the same Day you uploaded the video

Everyone should take a shot for every time you’ve said criminal in this movie lol

First time watching you. And now I'm subscribed to your KZfaq channel 🥰❤️

I love the cars franchise so much

Ah you skipped over the headlights joke with Mia and Tia. I remember when I first saw that scene it confused me because if those are tatas does that mean McQueen doesn’t have em?

Robots was an amazing movie

This is first time when I'm on your channel . First and certainly not the last . Really good job 👍

Oh man! I love Robots. What a childhood throwback; used to have the GameCube game. Anyway, Cars is a fun trilogy that got me addictive to car racing games, especially when my first car racing game was from the first movie on the PSP.

I just can't get over the fact that, every time Lightning is revving he is essentially farting... Imagine trying to impress a girl, by farting vigorously infront of her!

this movie is my fav Pixar one,I'm always been obsessed with cars(tbc,just aesthetically and on races,I know nothing about motors),I used to collect Hot Wheels and I never missed a Formula 1 race,so you can see by yourself how I'm bonded to this movie. I always loved how they gave life to the cars,I love the designs so much,and,honestly,I never hated McQueen,but I was a child in 2006,so I got used to seeing him as I did back then,that is a goddamn beautiful race car bright red,just like a Ferrari,and I think it's also because I've always had a soft spot for sassy characters,my love for Sylvanas Windrunner from WoW tells it all,in fact,while I love Mater as everyone else,McQueen remains my fav character. I never thought about that,but you're right,Guido and Luigi need and deserve a spin-off movie,and,talking about that,since you fell in love with Mater(as you should have),he is the protagonist of a short and a series,Cars Toons,the first season only tho,composed by 11 episodes,if you want more of him,that's the perfect place for you. The second movie is not that good of a sequel(it used to happen very often then),but it's still funny and enjoyable,and Mater as the main character is the greatest thing ever,so I'm sure you're gonna like it to say the least

i wait so more for this reaction i love cars it made my childhood beautiful

I never noticed the tiny car flies, just made me realise they are like the only living things other than like plants right?

This movie has two of my favorite radio hosts in it.

I love Pixar for many reasons. One of them is that this movie is an homage to the art deco era and Route 66.

I remember watching this movie in the theater when I was like 4 and crying because Lightning woke up lost and scared😂

1:42 and right there you broke my heart 😢 I'm a big car nerd and love everything about cars/trucks/atvs/snowmobiles/tractors/trains... anything to do with engines...

so thanks sophie for the reaction

My good, I grew up on that movie. I had toys, merch, and off course my beloved CD version of the movie. I always loved the story of lightning becoming a better person ( or car?) . And there is the fact that I can relate to both him and matter ( I even have my teeths being mishaped similar to matter's.).

I LOVED this movie when I was kid.

20:08 Your reaction to Frank is so hilarious!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

This movie has the best sound, I remember testing my 5.1 subwoofer sound setting with this movie. Getting the DVD with the Dolby Sound was the best.
