Cars is a decent franchise yes, it has flaws, but you have to appreciate that all the films (except 2) do have strong messages on what people usually do with their careers, Cars teaches us good sportmanship and staying to one's value, Cars 3 shows that just because your time is over doesn't mean it's the end. You at least have the privilege of passing down your knowledge to the next generation.
Cars 2 was a confusing film, did it want to be a world gran prix film or spy film. At least it was a boarder line enjoyable film compared to lightyear. I hated the fact that cars 2 was the start of Pixar down fall in good story telling until inside out.
Unlucky Tug has a great video on why the Cars franchise isn't actually bad. He does a great job pointing out how Cars is a tribute to Americana and Motor Racing. It's much more sentimental that people realize.
I'm one of those who grew up with the 2006 movie and kept it near and dear to my heart This movie alone changed my outlook in life, because it's VERY inspiring, It inspires me to be a dignified driver, inspires me to live a little, and inspires me to take in every minute of my life, whether I'm moving slow or fast
Honestly, if nothing else, Cars proves that a flawed premise doesn’t necessarily equal a bad story. The world building may not be as tight as some of Pixar’s other series, but the stories in the first and third film definitely make up for it. They’re fun, funny, and get you emotionally invested in the characters.
I hate it when people say that the franchise was only created to sell merchandise, when that wasn't the case at all. The first movie was made because many of the Pixar staff were massive car fanatics, so they genuinely felt passion towards this movie (not to mention it was first concieved back in 1997 as "The Little Yellow Car", showing that they had the idea to make a car movie for a good long while.) The merchandise angle was more of an added bonus, at least for the first movie. Now the second movie was absolutely made to cash in on the franchise's success and nothing else, but the third movie clearly shows a lot of passion and heart that the first movie had that a lot of people ignore. This may be my nostalgia talking. I mean, Cars was the first movie I ever watched (or at least the first movie I remember watching). Still, there's so much more to this franchise that people won't even pay attention to.
I've been a gigantic fan of Cars for nearly my entire 18-year-long life. It's held such a special place in my heart, and played a crucial role throughout my younger years. And as you'd expect, it really hurt when I discovered that what I'm so deeply passionate about gets relentlessly dumped on all the time, mostly due to its disposable middle chapter. But in the past few years, I've grown further and further to respect and appreciate these films for what they are, as more and more people come out to admit their affection for them, too. And this video of yours, gracefully encapsulates why.
Cars 2 would have been a decent movie if Tow Mater wasn't so annoying. I enjoy the spying and race plot line. Compare 1st, Tow Mater was friendly if not the bright, but he know not to push his luck. Like how he helped get Lightening and Sally together during the drive night party. He knew when to back off. Lightening and Mater actually felt like a friend between two bubby. But two made Mater insufferable and dumb down, hounding Lightening ever move when he wanted to spend some time with some else for a night, dragging the movie down. Creating force conflicts. And the Movie make Lightening look bad because he got tired of Mater being his second shadow. It wasn't settled about, and it dragged down the whole movie.
The Cars franchise has captured my heart alot and taught me many things. I even became a better person because of this franchise. And THIS franchise, is what got me invested into racing in the first place.
When I was a kid, I really didn't like movies - not because of their length, but because of how common a 3rd act breakdown is/was. It would bring the tone down and make me really sad and not want to watch anymore. Cars was the only new movie to come out that I remember watching as a kid that made me hopeful to watch movies again. I was primarily scarred from watching Little Foot's mom die in The Land Before Time as a child and it made me avoid kids movies for a very long time.
THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!! People just hate The Cars franchise for no reason and because of stuff that don't matter. People just focused on questioning on how the word of Cars worls, and ignores of what this franchise is trying to tell us and be. I don't care about the confusing world building, I just want to see a good story, characters and RACING. This franchise has taught me a lot about racing and even inspired me to become one one day, and use all the kessons I learned. This franchise was made as a love letter for motorsport racing. You can tell from their research, references to real life racing, racing history, actual racers as voice actors, etc etc. And I've recently learned that this franchise has actually affect the world in some way. It inspired so many other people, people got interested to racing, people create real life Doc hudson model cars, etc etc. Its just an amazing franchise that gets undeserved hate and is looked over on what makes it special.
The first Cars is easily my #1 all-time favorite Pixar movie since my childhood!!!!❤❤ Cars isn't the worst franchise overall, because I enjoyed watching the movies, series and its shorts! I also remember the video games for it as well!!!
@@thepandorica1660 only saw it once when I was a teenager in the cinema. It was a decent movie but probably since I was older at the time It just didnt hit the same.
Cars 2 seems very on brand with Disney. Thinking of sequels like Kronk’s New Groove or A Goofy Movie, it’s not a novel concept to make a sequel based on a comic relief character to capitalize on how much children loved them. That bring said, there’s obviously a major discrepancy in quality between films of this genre. Cars 2 definitely falls near the bottom of the list.
Born in 2005 this was the first animated movie I watched and it's been a massive part of my life. Turning 18 a couple mo ths ago, for my birthday I got together with a couple of my best friends and we watched cars
Cars always seems to be the most decisive franchise in history. People either love it or hate it. I personally love it yet count Cars 2 as non-canon. It comes from a place of love, made by people who loved racing, cars, and journey of discovering life has more to offer than the one thing you focus on
Cars 2 is a kind of fun standalone movie but a horrible sequel. It’s a shame because the idea of a world Grand Prix was such a fun idea if the focus was actually on the racing and Lightning rather than Mater. Just makes you wonder what could have been
Cars was during my childhood and still is my absolute favourite animated movie. I love it. Cars three was also quite good, although the ending didn't work very well for me. Is it strange that I grew up to love cars and be a huge fan of Racing?
Cars is a decent franchise it has flaws especially the second one but the Cars 1 and Cars 3 delivery a great messages to you about racing and friendship
Cars will always be my favorite PIXAR movie since I spent my whole childhood watching this movie and just to make it clear i do not think this is the best PIXAR movie like Finding Nemo or Toy Story are the better movies but Cars just holds a special place in my heart.
Imo Cars is my favourite franchise from Pixar and I actually always re-watched it over Toy Story and Monsters and I LOVE Cars 2, prolly my fav movie all time
imo i dont think cars 2 is "that" bad, but it is definitely the weakest in the trilogy, 1 and 3 are the go to movies to watch. Could Cars 2 be better so it's not considered the worst in the trilogy, well... Yeah Obviously... While i dont think it's that bad, i don't really have any urge to watch it
I love the Cars franchise and I always did as a kid. And Cars 1 is my favorite animated movie of all time I don’t care if the story is simple compared to Toy Story or other Pixar movies and I love the visuals and the sound effects of the Cars franchise. But I agree it’s not perfect and the sequel were weak but it doesn’t mean its a bad franchise. There’s good and bad moments there as well as other Pixar franchises.
im so glad somebody is able to defend these films i agree that Cars while sure it's not the greatest franchise out there it's a very good franchise that i feel deserves more respect
I always loved Cars ever since I was child. It is the first film I watched since childhood. Loved the colorful visuals, interesting characters and the story overall. I enjoyed all three films so far, including its short films, Cars Toon and the latest one Cars on the Road.
The first and the third Cars movies are some of my favorites from the studio, simply for their soulful indie quality that allows me to excuse the loose world building so I can enjoy the fun scripts that take advantage of this interesting cast of characters. It makes the second one all the more infuriating for me.
I was born a month before the first movie came out. My brother watched it so much I got annoyed with it, but know I love it, it’s one of my top favorite Pixar movies. I really like the first and third one, and all the shorts they made. This franchise is so creative as well.
Absolutely. Everyone complaining about cars doing spy things & silly things - IT'S FICTION !!!!!! - They go along with the concept that cars have eyes & talk.........so accept that they can do other things except race around a track all day !!!
I remember seeing the Alabama state for the first time , my imagination flashed. I saw race cars roaring on the track , drama shots and all. And the only movies I had seen were Pocahontas , and The 2D Grinch. The intro to Cars reminded me of that vision.
I could really care less about what anyone has to say about Cars. Cars was my childhood. The 06 movie still looks great and holds up well. The message it held was always pretty clear: "Life is always about rushing here and there and about moving onto the next big things. Sometimes, slowing down and enjoying life for what it is is the most important thing."
Cars 1 was great. Cars 2 took a right turn ( no pun intended) in the wrong direction. Cars 3 wasnt 100% bad but could have been better. So...the whole trilogy started strong, fell down and walked to the finish line.
Despite Cars 2 being terrible, I still love The Cars Franchise. I agree that It's the weakest franchise. Edit: The only reason people call Cars a bad franchise is because of Cars 2.
I actually think that cars is way, way, way better than what people say. It' very heartwarming and, especially in the first film, all of the characters are very well written and fun to watch. And here's another thing. I straight up don't understand why absolutely every Hollywood movie has to be extremely fast-paced. Things happening constantly! No time to breathe at all! That's why cars is a very fun movie to watch. Because of how simple and slow it is. We don't need things to be happening constantly in a story. We just need to care about the characters. And in cars, we absolutely do.
Thank you for making this video, as a huge Cars fan I completely agree. Cars is not the best Pixar franchise when compared to others like Toy Story and Monsters Inc, even though it is successful. But it isn’t the worst, but in the end it’s still a memorable franchise cause many kids like me grew up watching the movies and playing with the toys, which I still cherish today. The movies though their messages weren’t perfect, still impact me to this day. For instance, in the first film, whenever you hit a new place, you start to make new friends, finding your true self, and also discovering what’s above and beyond. The second film which is still not bad though people still hate it is that it’s good to just be yourself no matter where you go and not having to fit in, and also being more than yourself. And the third film, learning to accept change, learning about the past and forgetting the negatives and focusing on the positives, and also passing the torch to a new person. These movies mean so much to me as they made me who I am today. Not only a fan of the movies, but a race car driver. I’m so grateful where these movies, characters have made me who I am and it’s been a heck of a ride. Hope to see where this franchise takes me next! Ka Chow!
I'm one of the few ppl who LIKES Cars 2. They took a spy movie & used Cars!!! That's just such a cool concept. Weird? Yes. Ridiculously amusing? Also yes.
I gotta say, Hot Takes. H.T1# Cars 2 is a better successor of a sequel to Cars than Cars 3. And H.T2# Cars is probably the most Pixar-y movie franchise that has ever been created, other than probably Toy Story.
Cars is my favorite franchise of all time, and while I didn’t agree with everything you said, I really liked this video you said it better then I ever could!
I really like the Cars movies. Cars 1 is in my top favourite movies of all time list (not in an order: Cars 1; the last unicorn; Mamma Mia 1; dead poets society; emoji movie; aristocats (that’s all I can remember for now, I‘m sure I forgot some stuff)). Cars 3 was good too, but not as good as part 1. Cars 2 was… interesting… I really disliked it when I watched it for the first time because it felt like an unnecessary random sequel that had nothing to do with part 1 and the storyline was weird and confusing to me. But when I watched it for the second time, I actually liked it (i like professor z as a character). But it still feels out of place, so I just pretend it‘s non-canon… I don‘t care at all about the merch or the series though.
Facts. Also, at least people didn’t complain about the toy story franchise, like, how did the toys come to life and where this magic even come from to bring the toys to life. And also, the skeletons of the cars are kind of like the terminators because their machines and when cars reproduce, it’s a bit compared to the Transformers, but different. And it’s also like knight rider and same goes to transformers because they’re sentient vehicles.
Cars 2 is the movie comparison of a mafia getting too good at making pizza on their front business and instead of stopping being a mafia and move to pizza they started assassinating their delivery drivers and poisoning their pizzas
First Cars I genuinely love sure the whole world run by automobiles has so soo many questions But it's still good pixar movie Cars 2 I don't hate it but I don't love it Felt more like Mater's tall tales the movie than a sequel Cars 3 I remember the teaser trailer really got me interested The movie kinda disappointed me after months of hype it's not that bad I just don't love it as much as the first Cars I put it above Cars 2 and Cars 1 up top
I've always loved the Cars franchise growing up. Still to day. It may not be as strong as other Pixar films, but what it had to offer in terms of it's world, characters, and tributes to racing and vintage cars are what made the franchise very endearing. And while Cars 2 was a shitshow that felt more like an extended Mater's Tall Tales story, I still find it to be a guilty pleasure as it still had some fun moments here and there.
Growing up, I never gave a crud about Cars, despite being in the target audience age. More than a decade later when there were people doing reactions to Disney movie, I figured why not see what some people feel about the Cars movies. Particularly Cars 1, screw Cars 2 and 3. They to enjoy the movie perfectly fine, and that's the best way to describe Cars. It's fine, not great, not bad, just average. Comparing Cars to stuff like Brave, Good Dinosaur, Lightyear, Turning Red, Strange World, even the Live Action remakes, I think I'll take Cars over those things.
I always placed Cars right beside Thomas the Tank Engine (mainly its classic era and especially the books the show’s based on) for being my two favorite franchises of all time. Mainly for its pacing, morals, and characters. Side note: The Cars video games are worth playing because they stand out against most racing games. Which is why I place the first Cars game as being my favorite game of all time. Of course, I'm mainly referring to the first three Cars games (by THQ).
Such a nostalgic classic, watched this many times as a kid, even the sequel for some reason, the 3rd movie is better than the second, and I've never watched Cars On The Road yet.
How I'd write the cars trilogy. Cars 1 A young lightning McQueen is very interested in racing but he's bad at it and bullied for it. He meets Doc Hudson who is getting ready to retire but sees Lightning McQueen as a prodigy, So he trains Lightning to be as good as he was. Cars 2 Lightning McQueen becomes arrogant, because he's never lost since Doc hudson trained him... until a rival racer shows him up at a tournament. Lightning McQueen becomes obsessed with beating him and starts over exerting himself He goes to Doc for advice because he drove his friends away, Doc then teaches him that no matter how hard you try there'll always be someone better than you and how being over competitive is toxic. Cars 3 Keep it relatively the same but put the focus on Lightning McQueens prodigy have Lightning McQueen in the Doc Hudson role. I still don't think they'd be peak Pixar but I think it'd be a great commentary on racing celebrity life
You should have titled this 'Let's slag off Cars 2' It was actually 2 that got me into the franchise. I enjoyed 1 but absolutely loved the 2nd film. 3 was the weakest as it was just a copy of the first film - plus it was written around lines by Paul Newman that weren't good enough to be in the first film - not a good premise for story writing !!! 😬😬😬😬
Warning: long reading ahead Ngl, I enjoyed all films, including 2. I enjoyed the films as is, and they were enjoyable to me. I feel like 3 is the strongest one to me. As it feels like you can feel that sense "passing the torch". It's that full circle thing where you can see a young car who is passionate about racing in Cruz and Lightning saw that. And Lightning once being this hotshot racer who loved racing connect with her. So in a way, that's why I think 3 is a strong one. 2 is enjoyable, I don't care what anyone else thinks. It's definitely the weakest, that's for certain. But if this was moved to an off shoot for Cars and not a mainline movie, I'd be fine with it. Cars 1 is the BOMB. Nothing more to say. But overall, the entire series is very enjoyable, even 2.
Why does everyone dislikes cars 2? I mean, out of the 3 movies it's definitely the weakest link, but cars 2 is aight imo, since it's a spinoff story about mater not lightning
Cars is a decent franchise yes, it has flaws, but you have to appreciate that all the films (except 2) do have strong messages on what people usually do with their careers, Cars teaches us good sportmanship and staying to one's value, Cars 3 shows that just because your time is over doesn't mean it's the end.

What are you all talking about? Cars 2? Pfft imagine that! I do find it kind of weird that they just skipped to 3 tho
Cars 2 was a guilty pleasure in my opinion.

The message it held was always pretty clear: "Life is always about rushing here and there and about moving onto the next big things. Sometimes, slowing down and enjoying life for what it is is the most important thing."
Cars 1 was great. Cars 2 took a right turn ( no pun intended) in the wrong direction. Cars 3 wasnt 100% bad but could have been better. So...the whole trilogy started strong, fell down and walked to the finish line.
Despite Cars 2 being terrible, I still love The Cars Franchise. I agree that It's the weakest franchise.
Edit: The only reason people call Cars a bad franchise is because of Cars 2.
Debateable. a number of people disliked cars even before cars 2 even existed...
I actually think that cars is way, way, way better than what people say. It' very heartwarming and, especially in the first film, all of the characters are very well written and fun to watch. And here's another thing. I straight up don't understand why absolutely every Hollywood movie has to be extremely fast-paced. Things happening constantly! No time to breathe at all! That's why cars is a very fun movie to watch. Because of how simple and slow it is. We don't need things to be happening constantly in a story. We just need to care about the characters. And in cars, we absolutely do.
Thank you for making this video, as a huge Cars fan I completely agree. Cars is not the best Pixar franchise when compared to others like Toy Story and Monsters Inc, even though it is successful. But it isn’t the worst, but in the end it’s still a memorable franchise cause many kids like me grew up watching the movies and playing with the toys, which I still cherish today. The movies though their messages weren’t perfect, still impact me to this day. For instance, in the first film, whenever you hit a new place, you start to make new friends, finding your true self, and also discovering what’s above and beyond. The second film which is still not bad though people still hate it is that it’s good to just be yourself no matter where you go and not having to fit in, and also being more than yourself. And the third film, learning to accept change, learning about the past and forgetting the negatives and focusing on the positives, and also passing the torch to a new person. These movies mean so much to me as they made me who I am today. Not only a fan of the movies, but a race car driver. I’m so grateful where these movies, characters have made me who I am and it’s been a heck of a ride. Hope to see where this franchise takes me next! Ka Chow!
I don’t care what anyone says, I love Cars and it Definitely deserves its place as a Pixar Golden Age Classic,
Life is a highway
Me too buddy cars is the best pixar franchise i love it
I'm one of the few ppl who LIKES Cars 2.
They took a spy movie & used Cars!!! That's just such a cool concept. Weird? Yes. Ridiculously amusing? Also yes.
I gotta say, Hot Takes.
H.T1# Cars 2 is a better successor of a sequel to Cars than Cars 3.
And H.T2# Cars is probably the most Pixar-y movie franchise that has ever been created, other than probably Toy Story.
Cars is my favorite franchise of all time, and while I didn’t agree with everything you said, I really liked this video you said it better then I ever could!
I can't believe you said that. Cars 2 alone makes it bad, regardless of my childhood nostalgia for 1 and adult appreciation for 3.
Finally u don’t complain and bad mouth them
I really like the Cars movies. Cars 1 is in my top favourite movies of all time list (not in an order: Cars 1; the last unicorn; Mamma Mia 1; dead poets society; emoji movie; aristocats (that’s all I can remember for now, I‘m sure I forgot some stuff)). Cars 3 was good too, but not as good as part 1. Cars 2 was… interesting… I really disliked it when I watched it for the first time because it felt like an unnecessary random sequel that had nothing to do with part 1 and the storyline was weird and confusing to me. But when I watched it for the second time, I actually liked it (i like professor z as a character). But it still feels out of place, so I just pretend it‘s non-canon…
I don‘t care at all about the merch or the series though.
Facts. Also, at least people didn’t complain about the toy story franchise, like, how did the toys come to life and where this magic even come from to bring the toys to life. And also, the skeletons of the cars are kind of like the terminators because their machines and when cars reproduce, it’s a bit compared to the Transformers, but different. And it’s also like knight rider and same goes to transformers because they’re sentient vehicles.
You have the Dreamworks Villain ranking video ready soon?
Cars 2 is the movie comparison of a mafia getting too good at making pizza on their front business and instead of stopping being a mafia and move to pizza they started assassinating their delivery drivers and poisoning their pizzas
Cars 1 is my favorite animated movie of all time. 2nd is the Super Mario bros movie.
Cars will always hold a very special place in my heart
It’s not bad, it’s different.
First Cars I genuinely love sure the whole world run by automobiles has so soo many questions
But it's still good pixar movie
Cars 2 I don't hate it but I don't love it
Felt more like Mater's tall tales the movie than a sequel
Cars 3 I remember the teaser trailer really got me interested
The movie kinda disappointed me after months of hype
it's not that bad I just don't love it as much as the first Cars
I put it above Cars 2 and Cars 1 up top
I've always loved the Cars franchise growing up. Still to day. It may not be as strong as other Pixar films, but what it had to offer in terms of it's world, characters, and tributes to racing and vintage cars are what made the franchise very endearing. And while Cars 2 was a shitshow that felt more like an extended Mater's Tall Tales story, I still find it to be a guilty pleasure as it still had some fun moments here and there.
Cars is a childhood classic to me.
Growing up, I never gave a crud about Cars, despite being in the target audience age. More than a decade later when there were people doing reactions to Disney movie, I figured why not see what some people feel about the Cars movies. Particularly Cars 1, screw Cars 2 and 3. They to enjoy the movie perfectly fine, and that's the best way to describe Cars. It's fine, not great, not bad, just average. Comparing Cars to stuff like Brave, Good Dinosaur, Lightyear, Turning Red, Strange World, even the Live Action remakes, I think I'll take Cars over those things.
4:23 Something I can totally agree on
Especially 4:41
Including what he described about costume that should be in mater’s tall tales! you make great points! Gonna love your videos!
Care dose not get enough credit it’s crazy and fun
THANK YOU
I always placed Cars right beside Thomas the Tank Engine (mainly its classic era and especially the books the show’s based on) for being my two favorite franchises of all time. Mainly for its pacing, morals, and characters.
Side note: The Cars video games are worth playing because they stand out against most racing games. Which is why I place the first Cars game as being my favorite game of all time. Of course, I'm mainly referring to the first three Cars games (by THQ).
Acceleracers and the first movie as a kid were my big things in terms of cars but it was Acceleracers that was the biggest thing.
While Cars 2 is incredibly mehhhhh. The 1st one still has a lot of heart in it and the 3rd one should have been the follow up to the original.
I grew up with the first one
Such a nostalgic classic, watched this many times as a kid, even the sequel for some reason, the 3rd movie is better than the second, and I've never watched Cars On The Road yet.
In our country, cars are loved much. But I see that it is not a very popular production here.

How I'd write the cars trilogy.
Cars 1
A young lightning McQueen is very interested in racing but he's bad at it and bullied for it.
He meets Doc Hudson who is getting ready to retire but sees Lightning McQueen as a prodigy,
So he trains Lightning to be as good as he was.
Cars 2
Lightning McQueen becomes arrogant, because he's never lost since Doc hudson trained him...
until a rival racer shows him up at a tournament.
Lightning McQueen becomes obsessed with beating him and starts over exerting himself
He goes to Doc for advice because he drove his friends away,
Doc then teaches him that no matter how hard you try there'll always be someone better than you and how being over competitive is toxic.
Cars 3
Keep it relatively the same but put the focus on Lightning McQueens prodigy have Lightning McQueen in the Doc Hudson role.
I still don't think they'd be peak Pixar but I think it'd be a great commentary on racing celebrity life
You should have titled this 'Let's slag off Cars 2' It was actually 2 that got me into the franchise. I enjoyed 1 but absolutely loved the 2nd film. 3 was the weakest as it was just a copy of the first film - plus it was written around lines by Paul Newman that weren't good enough to be in the first film - not a good premise for story writing !!! 😬😬😬😬
I love the cars franchise
And they are plenty of people that like it.
Warning: long reading ahead
Ngl, I enjoyed all films, including 2. I enjoyed the films as is, and they were enjoyable to me. I feel like 3 is the strongest one to me. As it feels like you can feel that sense "passing the torch". It's that full circle thing where you can see a young car who is passionate about racing in Cruz and Lightning saw that. And Lightning once being this hotshot racer who loved racing connect with her. So in a way, that's why I think 3 is a strong one. 2 is enjoyable, I don't care what anyone else thinks. It's definitely the weakest, that's for certain. But if this was moved to an off shoot for Cars and not a mainline movie, I'd be fine with it. Cars 1 is the BOMB. Nothing more to say. But overall, the entire series is very enjoyable, even 2.
Why does everyone dislikes cars 2? I mean, out of the 3 movies it's definitely the weakest link, but cars 2 is aight imo, since it's a spinoff story about mater not lightning
YES another person calls the Cars films good along with TheUnluckyTug
I agree the franchise deserves more respect.
But they also should’ve have humans in it, just like in Transformers and knight rider.
Its a good duology. (I'm not counting the second movie)
Hey, what happened to the Marvel CGI problem video?
Cars was AMAZING
I said what I said
Great vid, imo Cars 2 is not as a bad as TS4 or Incredibles2 tho lol
What's wrong with Incredibles 2 ?
Show *this* to Schaffrillas!
Yeah.
People just don’t like Cars because they felt entitled to another superhero movie after Incredibles
