-Sally (the blue car) is the prosecutor against Lightning McQueen, not the defense attorney.
-Racing and even walking competitions are a thing. It was a fairly stupid point at the end.
Yeah, you should have do research before editing and making the video. But at least you acknowledge it
Sloppy work as usual
@@patrickholland4708 yeah, but this wasnt one of his better episodes
These things happen. I’m just wondering what twitter’s gonna dog pile on (my money’s on the innuendos)
It’s all good, we all make mistakes, and all we can do is laugh at them, and move on with our lives, even though comparing walking and racing was pretty danm funny
He wasn't kidnapped, he commited a crime and was sentenced to community service
Yeah you tear up local government property they expect you fix it back up or have a lot of money on hand, and since they couldn't really find any lawyers, they just kinda put him to doing chores.
He didn't get a legal trial though.
The sheriff asked where his lawyer was and instead of giving him a chance to contact them, he just asked who wanted to be his lawyer. Doc showed up and said he wanted him out of his town (because he's a racecar and Doc has poor history with them.) Despite this, he overturns that former verdict after Sally (the prosecutor) showed up late. If a prosecutor is absent when the verdict is given, they can't influence the judge's decision at all.
All in all, Sheriff and Doc were the only people with any legal authority, nobody else in that room was even a juror, Lightning didn't get to contact his own legal agent, and he had every right to leave very early on. In short, they *did* kidnap him.
@@lordkinesis4432 Pay phones were scrapped from the movie actually
@@eduardoaguero1220 No matter what phone they had, Doc called Lightning's squad at the end, so there's no reason he shouldn't have gotten a call early on.
Any type of imprisonment is legal kidnapping
I fee like Cars 1 gets too much hate. I personally think it has a good story and Doc Hudson is pretty memorable.
Same here
Pat of me wonders if it depends on where you're from (in general, specific people will vary).
Like, I imagine a more rural person (also more likely to be into Nascar) would empathize more with the small town struggle than someone who's been in the city their whole life.
It’s literally just Doc Hollywood.
"You gotta turn left, to go right"
@@HolyRomanEmperor90Yeah, and Avatar is just Dances With Wolves. A valid observation, but there are countless derivative pieces of storytelling out there and not all of them are bad. Cars isn't.
i wouldn't equate cars being excited about racing to us being excited about walking, it's more like us being excited about seeing people run in a race. races that people watch exist in real life
Plus a movie centered around a singular sport can totally work. Just look at anime and manga, the sports genre is hugely popular over there.
Feel a little extra heated about this because earlier today I literally just completed a manga about a disabled track athlete, and it's one of my favorite stories of all time. Even outside of Japan, we've seen episodes of TV shows center around sports and still make a memorable episode.
@@Commenter839 Chariots of Fire is about track athletes running, so yeah, that was a highly celebrated movie very well received by critics about running. Forest Gump even spends a significant amount of time just running
Pftt who would actually want to watch people run?? Could you imagine entire statiums of people gathering to watch people run in a circle??
true.
@@talonj8116 to be fair, they’re cars, being fast is kinda there thing unlike us
If only UA-cam didn’t remove the dislike numbers.
Facts
Kind of amazed there wasn’t a “Do the cars in Cars have car insurance or life insurance” joke.
Wouldn't it also be Health Insurance?
There was that Claymation commercial for insurance in the 90s/00s, so that joke might have been a little too derivative at the time.
Cars 3 has a billboard saying it was life insurance
This movie was so influential, they made cars into real things.
It's peak
It's influence also gave us the word Carcass, such as "Look at the old turkey carcass in the freezer!"
Planes 2 was so influential, they made WW2 into real thing
why do I laugh at dumb shit like this lmao.
Why did i laugh?
Unpopular opinions: I like the Cars movies. Not because it's the pinnacle of art but because I liked seeing Lightning McQueen let go and grow in Cars and Cars 3, the story of Radiator Springs, and tbh, I appreciate the dumb shit and the weirdly well-choreographed action scenes from Cars 2. They're not perfect or even very well-executed stories, nor do I think about them all the time, but they're fun and the lesson of setting your ego aside to learn and experience new things is something that sticks with me.
Me to
I find the films campy but amusing.
Not films I’d give particularly good reviews for persay, but I did get some enjoyment out of them.
Well I know I am a little biased because of well... Look at my username.
Still though, I agree. And Lightning learning a lesson about there's more to life than fame and fortune isn't the worst idea of a story. I do think Cars was targeted at a particular audience, though. Besides kids, Cars is targeted at people who are into racing and the history of Route 66. Also, I think the celebrities being cars was moreso a joke than something that should be taken seriously. I mean for me, the highlight of Cars 2 was that Jeff Gordon-- my favorite racecar driver of all time-- made a guest appearance as a Corvette.
Here's the 3 biggest factors as to why I don't think Mr. Enter likes the Cars movies:
1) He's not a racing fan. I think he's made it known that he doesn't like sports, so based on that alone, he's likely not going to be invested into this movie.
2) He doesn't really care about the history of Route 66. While I don't accuse Mr. Enter of being unpatriotic, it's clear that stuff like Americana doesn't interest him all that much.
3) He obviously isn't invested into the world of Cars. With this being an animated movie, you can easily explain the premise, "It's magic; don't question it." That being said, this is probably a movie he shouldn't be watching.
Also, I do need to call out Mr. Enter on him saying that the first cars movie wasn't very successful, and you could argue that his Shark Tale review bit him in the ass there. Cars was the second highest grossing film of 2006. This is even before merchandise sales. The only movie that made more was Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest.
@@nascarfanatic2425 tbh, I'm not 1 or 2, but I do enjoy the energy of small towns and things like Dead Malls. I jokingly said to my friend while talking about this video that part of why I'm into Dead Malls is because of Radiator Spring's history. Which there may be some truth to, actually.
But definitely agree with you for 3. This is one of the times I agree with the kids' movie defense. Also, the first Cars movie isn't just about Lightning McQueen. It's about the town and it's citizens as well, and arguably more so too.
@@shoyuramenoff Good point. Now of course, I do also have to acknowledge that Mr. Enter has shown he's not exactly a fan of this type of plot. Case in point, the SpongeBob SquarePants episode, Karate Island. Although he never made an official Animated Atrocities review on the episode, he does see it as such, and most of his hatred towards that episode is because of SpongeBob's attitude, so it's clear he doesn't like the cocky protagonist needing to learn a lesson type of story.
I still found this video to be really shocking. I mean, I knew he didn't like Cars, but I didn't think he would just drastically change his opinion this much about it this abruptly.
To be fair, I have heard someone unironically call a car sexy before. Though I think it's more attributed to it being expensive and making the owner look sexy by virtue of being rich enough to afford it.
bro some cars are so sexy
imagine jerking it and gerking it to f***king cars
that's stupid.
That's extremely common. Granted I don't think most people are literally attracted to cars when they say that but it is a common saying.
I feel like his entire bit of not understanding cars falling in love ignores the seperation of love and lust. They are two sides of the same coin but you can have one without the other. They might physically be cars, but they are characters with personalities too. Love isn't about a physical appearance, it's about who a person is inside.
@@scarclaw72Well said
I’m getting the impression you don’t like Cars 1.
I don't like it, but was content to let people pan the sequels. Still have to respect him having the guts to take on the cult of Pixar; despite that studio being outshown countless times by now yet somehow some think it's still beyond reproach.

@@mattwolf7698yeah same
I think it should’ve been in E Major
FLOCK OF MONSTERS!!!!!! I HOPE YOU GET BANNED 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
Its not really a kidnapping when he was arrested. Thats kinda the point of the plot, he's stuck there because of his own dumb actions and then learns to love the town because he learns to look past only focusing on his career. Its not an ideal movie, but it does specifically give the characters good reasons for their actions
I hearing the Twitter mob coming (it not about you)
Yeah I don’t see how this is kidnapping when he was literally arrested by a police officer then held on trial.
Doc Hudson was going to let him go anyhow until sally said he should fix the damages caused by him, which was a fitting punishment.
“Kidnapping” would imply they lock lightning up for most the movie and try to ransom them to the piston cup for money. Hell, doc Hudson called the paparazzi to radiator springs to begin with, the OPPOSITE of kidnapping .
i mean you say its not kidnapping but you dont give the reason, you just says its his fault he gets kidnapped.
@@driguesbarcellos He was arrested, convicted via trial and then punished with community service. Think of it kinda like putting an ankle tracker on a home arrest "prisoner"
@@driguesbarcellos he caused large amount of property damage
I really think you're overanalyzing it. You're not supposed to question why every sentient creature looks like cars or why tractors act like cows. Or how they reproduce,
I mean...you never hear how a Mrs. Potato Head is supposed to be attractive but she's married to a potato head.
Yea I don’t think the movie was meant to be taken this seriously lol
Now I only want to know how Mrs. Potato Head gives birth. Do they like cut off one of her overgrown eyes and plant it in the earth? Does Mr. Potato Head have to perform some kind of action or ritual to get it to sprout? I need a Midsommar style retelling of this deep lore.
She's married to a potato head because she is also a potato head!
I feel the same way. He spends entirely too long going in-depth about these ideas, when in reality, he should just let go and enjoy the movie for what it is.
@@abby_babber not everybody likes every movie, you can't hold that against him 🤷♂️
Also for some people it's super fun overanalyzing/overthinking things in movies, coming up with theories etc. rather than just watching passively
This video feels…off. Like the lack of editing and the obvious hot take makes this feel like it was from Mr. Enter’s earlier days more than anything.
I think UnluckyTug described the first Cars movie best as a simple movie with a simple message, and does the difficult task of slowly redeeming an unlikable character throughout the course of the film.
You're not wrong, I kept thinking to myself "Damn, did he write this in 2015?"
I mean what ton of editing to do is there on a movie that’s very slow pace and (some what) boring
These are exactly my thoughts. I feel like it's a movie that you can sit back and relax to. It doesn't need to be super complicated. And I even feel like calling McQueen an unlikable character is a stretch. Granted, it takes a lot for me to hate a character, but McQueen just has a cocky attitude and is brought back down to Earth once he realizes how to appreciate the little things in life.
Lots I disagree with here. Cars isn't the best movie, but I think a good chunk of this review is either completely wrong or more of a personal preference than objective criticism.
"Can someone explain to me why a car is more sexually attractive than another?"
That's literally the case for anything with visual appearance. In real life, people are more attracted to the look of one car over another. This movie used certain models in the real world as the more attractive ones in their fictional world. Something doesn't have to apply to sex to spark an attraction. When humans have sex, they don't use their hair, but some haircuts make humans more attractive. Nothing about this critique makes sense.
1:35 TECHNICALLY speaking it is indirectly his fault.
He convinced Mack, his truck, to keep going to California all night to get first and get friendly with the Dinoco people, promising he will stay awake alongside him along the road (he didn't), even though Mack wanted to rest for the night.
So Mack kept going, half-asleep, which caused Lightning to end up in Radiator Springs and cause such a mess.
1:41 I don't know. Just look at the clips in the video. Lightning kinda left it kinda torn apart. While before, it was kinda old and scratched, but car/ people could still drive / walk on it.
2:14 I mean, Lightning was indeed found guilty and legally accountable, and had to actually fix the road, but instead, at the first chance of just getting out of his responsability, Lightning took it
IF ANYTHING this is less "make them look like kidnappers" and more "make lightning too unsympathethic"
4:16 ACTUALLY Mater was Lightning's (basically self-proclaimed) Defense Attorney. She was the prosecutor....
(Why I remember so much of this film?I watched it like minimum 7 years ago if not more)
5:17 I don't know. the premise works fine. The whole "asking about the lore behind their world" (like "who built the cars") is kinda... i don't know. Unnecessary?
If anything this is more a case of "why this premise is dependant on them being cars?" Couldn't this still work with them as humans that just use their cars a lot?
5:48 FUNNY ENOUGH, in the storyboards, there was an idea of apparently transplanting Lightning's brain to the road fixer machine bessie (although i think they were planning to do that only as a dream sequence)
8:05 apparently the only reason the movie is about cars and not just people using cars a lot
8:12 I mean, we have Running as an actual sport even in the olympics........
While most of these are good observations, it doesn't change the fact that the way they treat McQueen is just disgusting. The way they physically chain him up is indefensible. This isn't something the good guys would do, this is something kidnapperd would do.
If McQueen was a tief or something, then physically restraining him would make sense. But all he did is damaging a road. By accident.
If they're really afraid that McQueen would try to avoid his responsibilities, there are more than enough ways the law can coerce someone without getting physical. Like barring McQueen from entering any races or shopping anywhere or spreading news so that everyone would know that he's a fugitive.
Also, why does he have to fix it himself? Can't he just pay someone to do that job, like a fine or something? Or arrest him?
Also, can't they just move this repair thing to AFTER the race, or give him a temporary break so he can go to the races before coming back?
Not to mention, Mack protests by stating a Federal Rig law before Lightning pressures him to keep going, so yeah, kind of illegal
@@sandy_shark
The inhabitants of Radiator Springs knew none of that.
They didn't even know that he's a total jerk, so they don't even have a motive to mistreat him unlawfully.
And remember, he was not allowed to contact his lawyer, or anyone else, they just disappeared him from the face of the earth. Or car world. Whatever it's called, if it even has a name.
To be fair, humans _do_ watch other humans run around as they race each other.
Yeah for racing in cars it's just running for them or they're driving themselves I guess
I think Cars only redeeming quality is it's end message, being a good sport. Otherwise, it's inoffensive, maybe even nostalgic, heartfelt.
It's a nice movie. The vibes I get from it are very nice and relaxing. Not boring by any stretch either.
😪😪
I’ve never understood the perspective that the first Cars was a mediocre move. I never heard it before just a few years ago. When I was a kid my friends and I were all enamored with it. With the exception of Toy Story, it’s probably my personal most-watched Pixar movie. Fantastic soundtrack, great plot, and, as others have already said in this comments section, it’s a true love letter to racing culture and Americana. It’s probably my favorite Pixar film, by a long shot actually.
It’s a complete ripoff of Doc Hollywood. How they didn’t get sued for plagiarism is beyond me.
I honestly feel like people need to let go and enjoy things for what they are. Cars is a good movie if you go in with an open mind. It's not a cinematic masterpiece by any means, but it conveys quaint, small-town vibes when McQueen gets into Radiator Springs. I don't really understand why people think it's boring.
@@HolyRomanEmperor90 Because it’s barely similar to Doc Hollywood at all if you actually pay attention to it.
Same here.
Maybe cuz I’m a diehard nascar fan
@@HolyRomanEmperor90Who would actually know that unless they were a cinephile?
Am I the only person who actually likes the Cars trilogy?

Same here, except Cars 2
Nope
Cars 1: ok
Cars 2: awful
Cars 3: meh
No. But just because I like something doesn't mean it's good.
This and Finding Nemo were the go-to movies when class ran out of stuff to do in middle and high school.
Lol yup or when the class had a substitute
Shoulda whipped up ratatouille or Incredibles, that would be better
No sir, cmon, the first Cars is a loveletter to Americana and the stock car racing culture and scene, and while the jokes are cheesy, that doesn't downplay the amount of heart the film has, especially with McQueen's arc of appreciating the finer things in life, and making friends when he didn't have any at the beginning of the film, so no, this film is not "very very BAD" the music is wonderful and it's very enjoyable.
Its kind of amazing how well it nails why people love nascar. The close racing, the big wrecks, and the rookies often making it to top 3 in the standings despite their lack of experience and overconfidence
@aidanquiett668 right? It's because of my grandpa and this film that I too enjoy Nascar and racing in general, having alot of characters with southern accents, (especially one who becomes McQueen's best friend) makes me feel good about me being southern too.
Yeah I’m a fan of cars as well. This was THE movie I loved from Pixar as a kid because of the music, the cars, the racing, the characters.
Is it weird that a movie about anthropomorphic cars exists? Yes, but damn is it entertaining
@@aidanquiett668 Well nowadays Nascar's popularity across the US has decline son much at least imo. It might be because I grew up during the 2000's but it feels like Nascar peaked during that decade.
@@AwkwardHypernerd413 no weirder than bugs, toys, a family of superheroes, rats, a robot, or monsters.
I can’t lie. I love Cars. I know that objectively it is a boring film, but it was a part of my childhood nonetheless. Also, the song Find Yourself by Brad Paisley is phenomenal imo.
Yessss!!! Love Brad Paisley! He’s so underrated
Don’t forget Behind the Clouds!
I am a big fan of boring entertainment, you can enjoy it on a more subtle level than something that overloads your senses. Gives you time to reflect. 🤔
I wouldn't even call it objectively boring. You have to look at it through the lens of appreciating the little things. When McQueen is in Radiator Springs, Sally brings him up to the cliff-face after their drive and shows him the beautiful view of the desert. I'm not sure what Mr. Enter was talking about when he says that the visuals are drab and boring. There's tons of subtle details if you're paying attention.
@@defundhollywood3259 I do get bored by some things, but to call this movie boring doesn't make sense to me.
So I’ve concluded two things from this video, Mr Enter doesn’t like the concept of a Cars universe or the Jerk to Hero storyline. It may sound a bit harsh, but this guy was asking questions about the Cars universe that you can place in a bunch of Pixar films that don’t matter to the story (why are the toys sentient, how did the monsters get access to the human world, why do rats know how to cook, etc).
I’m not this movie's biggest fan, but I know that this world was designed around the Cars living in it and that questions like how were the cars made isn’t really that important as to them that’s always how it’s been (unless we need a My Hero Academia styled intro monologue for every single Pixar film), stuff that would make you question the logic of the universe didn’t come into play until Cars 2 when they literally used Human Props for casual items.
Even if we refuse to accept the concept of cars, Mr Enter himself has stated that Pixar films work so well because of the deeper message they all hide past the base concept, for this film being to enjoy life and the events that surround them and not to rush to the top (at least that’s what I get from it).
I didn't have a problem with Mater as a kid, even in the second film. And I still don't. But I can see why people felt that way about him. Also, the weird sexual jokes completely flew over my head when I first saw them.
i really wish critics would stop criticizing fictional worlds for not conforming to real world physics or logic.
it's such lazy criticism. have some god damn imagination lmao
I think a better analogy for car racing in this universe would be track, or the Olympics in our universe. Which lots of people irl tune in to watch too.
And I feel like a movie centered around track can totally sustain a story- one of my personal favorite book series is about someone learning to run track after losing his leg.
Planes
Yeah I don't know why he brought up walking. They're racing, so it would be humans racing on foot, which is a thing.
My favorite part of this movie is the deleted scene where McQueen goes through a junkyard and finds busted up cars, which are essentially the Cars universe's version of corpses. I get why it was cut, but it really sucks we never got a finished version of that scene.
Didn't they do something like that with the Maters spooky stories shorts?

Lightning wasn't kidnapped, he was arrested for destruction of property and his punishment was community service. Lightning may not have intended to wreck the town but it was still his fault. If you rear end someone it's still your fault even if you didn't do it intentionally.
Well, McQueen was never given a chance to explain himself and the other cars just shot him down.
@@matthewdilday7918I mean to be fair,
Doc Huston knows lightning is a race car, and that he has a career on the line, and wanted him out of his town, because he thinks he is to incompetent to repair the road, when he first met him So that’s 1 car that knows his Explanation, because Doc Huston was a race car. and does not want to be reminded about his past.
And Sally I think she was the Prosecutor at the court, basically said to the town what Lightning did is a accident, and did not mean it at all so let him correct his accident, no matter how long it takes and him doing community service, because accident or not what he did is still wrong, by messing up a town in the middle of nowhere, getting no customers for a long time basically what sally is saying to doc, is you can’t let lightning get away with making everyone in the towns life, more difficult and doc has no choice but to accept it or take sally word, or else Everyone in the town, will be against doc not doing his job as a judge.
Basically that’s why lightning got shot down because only the attorney which is Mater can defend lightning not lightning himself and Doc Huston as a former race car knows lightning explanation that’s why he got shot down at that scene
And another to be fair, what sally gave lightning is a light sentence, she could of easily convinced the town to put lightning in prison, but didn’t because sally somewhat sees the potential in lightning, to be a better person.

This movie basically created every future gen Z mechanic in existence.
This isn’t your worst review by a long shot, but I feel you were pretty unfair on this movie.
- You do realize that people can be attracted to someone without it being sexual, right? Also, you can't really question how cars can fall in love and not question their ability to feel other emotions.
- You said that the tractors are the only animals in the movie, while showing Frank on screen.
- Not every little thing the cars do need a human equivalent
- Does it really matter if the beetles look like cars?
I don't demand that you like the movie, but a lot of this just feels like nitpicking or misunderstanding
What Cars has going for it is it's aesthetic, if you like vehicular characters, youll find it very easy to become immersed in the movie, not so much for it's story, but the world.
I'm a car guy but I found it goofy how so many buildings and landscapes were modelled after cars, that would be life if they were modelled after humans in our world.
Its an entertaining movie with a good message. I remember liking it as a kid and it has moving moments like doc's backstory and Lightning getting closer to the towns people. As a kid, we like over confident characters. Lightning isn't an awful person, just full of himself due to his talent and youth. Mator has a good heart and plays his role as a dumb friend that can humble mcqueen well. Is the movie perfect? No? Is it a masterpieces? Hell no. But its a functional movie that did its job to entertain kids and has a good message. I understand not liking it and criticizing it but I don't see why anyone HATES it other than it because you're too old to be entertained by it.
Edit: Evidence by you nitpicking how sex, religion, and biology works in a kids cartoon movie about cars. Also no, cars enjoying watching cars race is not like humans enjoying watching humans walk, more like running....which we do with the Olympics. I love your reviews but this one I think was kinda forced.
Wow all that just to come with the cliched argument of "cartoons are for kids" I won't waste any time with the sentiment of your first paragraph as that is an argument that has been debunked multiple times to address your lightning point I think the main problem wit lightning is not his arrogant prick that needs to be humbled arc as enter has stated it is a cliche but imo a cliche that is still able to captivate and be entertaining when done correctly the problem with lightning is that we have seen his arc done way better in many different films kuzco from emperor's new groove for one example same basic character arc but kuzco is a lot funnier and more entertaining than lighting if your gonna do a cliche you better come wit something unique or make the character as interesting as possible otherwise your gonna lose a lot of the audience early in the film
@@johndavis9321 "It's for kids" doesn't work as a defense for something that has genuinely terrible writing, bad morals, or is addictive nothing like Cocomelon or Elsagate content.
Cars has a cohesive story and a decent moral about humility. It's kinda cliche for a 00s Pixar movie, but it's not like kids are well versed enough in these cliches to find them annoying. Everyone gets introduced to these tropes at some point. It's perfectly average, but seems a lot worse in comparison since it came out in the middle of Pixar's golden age.

Yeah if California adventure is any indication, Disney does not want to forget cars
The reason it's in a desert is because it's supposed to be a love letter to Route 66
I never understood why people hated Cars. It's a nostalgic classic for me. Before you say "clearly it was just made for toys!" My opinion is I don't care if a movie is made for movies it's if the movie is good or not. Cars 1 is very underrated in my opinion.
Yeah because I really enjoyed the first cars movie and defended that movie massively when I was a kid
Cars 2 I just don’t like at all it has good action scenes and a good soundtrack that’s legit about it because mater should of not been the main character if cars 2 was about Fin macmissile only in a alternate cars universe the film would of been way better
And cars 3 I enjoyed as well and is a good ending to the series

Well that's quite a title
I don't hate the Cars franchise, but I don't necessarily love it either. I do have a soft spot for Mater and Doc though, as they are the best characters in the movie for me. Doc especially. Shame he never got more focus, especially before his VA passed away. But it was sweet of them to tribute this in sequels. And I also like the nod to the Volkswagon Beetle car with the literal beetle bug cars in the film. My cousin LOVED Cars when he was little, completely obsessed with Lightning McQueen. But for me, this whole trilogy is a one and done deal. Saw each movie once, then never again. Closest I'd get to a rewatch is the occasional UA-cam video reaction once in a blue moon, including your reviews. Makes it more entertaining that way
Why would a corvette not think a porsche is hot
Man people hate the cars movies. Especially the second one.
People often describe cars as "sexy" or "ugly" or whatever. People assign sexuality to cars. One time on Two And A Half Men, when Alan had a new car and Charlie complimented it, the punchline was Charlie saying "It looks like my car's hot girlfriend" because Alan kept getting crapped on for driving a "woman's car".
Also, I'm not saying that Sally and Lightning had chemistry, but people can fall in love romantically and not find the other necessarily sexually attractive... but if sexual attractiveness comes from the love, I believe that's demisexuality.
Yeah that is demisexuality, McQueen was definitely finding Sally attractive as soon as she entered the court room though
It's very funny to me that literally all the top comments are "Am I the only one who actually likes this movie?"
Let's talk about Bessie tho; is she/it the car equivalent of a machine made of human flesh??
Cars 1 & 3 were genuinely good films and there is no changing my mind.
Same
Writing, script, character development, villain had left the chat
"Suspension of disbelief is the avoidance-often described as willing-of critical thinking and logic in understanding something that is unreal or impossible in reality, such as something in a work of speculative fiction, in order to believe it for the sake of enjoying its narrative." About 50% of the entire review is about stuff that is irrelevant to the actual movie, and can only be noticed if you're going out of your way to pick it apart like coal miner.
8:12 Mr. Enter forgets that Running is a human sport. And that Chariots of Fire is not just a song, but is an actual movie about running that won several awards.
He made the correction in the comments
I love Cars 1 and 3. I question the world as much as the next guy, but a talking car isn't any less believable than a talking toy
>McQueen tries to escape out a job has to do
>they knew he was gonna try and escape the thing he HAS to do order by the judge
“There keeping him there for their own sick amusement”
My man skipped like half of the movie. Also they aren’t watching cars walk, they are watching them RACE.
This review wasn’t very cash money of you
Mr. Enter coming out with all of his hot takes lately.
The longest animated film from the US of all time was Ralph Bakshi’s The Lord of the Rings (1978) until it was beaten by Across the Spider-Verse.
The longest animated film of all time was Namco’s official direct-to-DVD movie adaptation of Xenosaga Episode I, which is 5 hours long.
And then there’s “Logistics” which is recognized as the longest movie in existence, lasting just over 35 days, yes, 35 DAYS
Huh the more you know
Mr enter has obviously never heard of car culture.
Cars 1 and 2 are my childhood movies. But they haven’t aged well.
But at least Cars 2 was so ridiculous, it was so bad it’s good.
"Jesus Chrysler" is a good one pff
That's actually in a post credits scene from the first movie
4:55 careful Mr Enter, you dancing near cursed memes territory 😰
One objection: You have a problem with the cars watching other cars race comparing it to "walking." It would be more comparable to "running" as in, he's a sports star. Maybe an Olympic athlete? Anyway, the analogy makes sense in that some people (cars?) would want to watch him. Still never liked this movie.
“Not a single shred of humanity in lightning McQueen for 95% of the movie” that’s patently false when the interviewers at the racetrack ask about any friends or family being there lightning tries to name his pit crew who just quit before being able to name anybody and gets a distrust look
Also throughout the film we see Lightning growing to actually care for the people there he’s clearly upset when he’s forced to leave
Also you criticize Radiator Springs for keeping Lightning hostage, but that’s basically how the legal system works. Lightning is basically on house arrest. The “siphoning gas” bit was actually a clever translation of a shock collar or detector. I understand finding the treatment too harsh but that’s more of a gripe with the legal system than the film itself. Also lightnijgvduht really “held hostage” given he’s the freedom to do wehatever he wants each day. He just can’t leave town until the road is fixed. And even that gets lenient as he’s allowed to take a cruise with Sally
4:20 that might be considered a harsher sentence… if the charcters weren’t cars. The fact Lightning is one means he can make the road alot faster than an individual human. While the film never states directly how long Lightning was absent the fact Lightning hasn’t been disqualified and the rematch hasn’t occurred by the time Doc calls the press means it can’t have been that long. I don’t know about everybody else but I’d rather take 2 weeks of manual labor over what could be months or years of solitary confinement.
You say it was a jerk move for Sally to plead Guity but I’d like to ask how the hell one could prove Lightning’s innocence in that scenario
Most importantly Lighting wasn’t “held hostage” he was under the equivalent of house arrest he was no more a “hostage” than Belle. In fact Lightning had more freedom than Belle given Lighting was allowed to go for cruises (hikes) outside of town with supervision and could go anywhere within it, he simply wasn’t allowed to leave until the road was fixed but could spend his time any way he desired. Meanwhile Belle couldn’t leave the Castle Grounds until Beast rendered the deal null and void and Belle wasn’t allowed in the West Wing under any circumstances. I’m not saying Belle has Stockholm syndrome, you’ve rightfully pointed out that’s a bad faith argument, im just saying you can’t pull that card on Lightning either.
Yes the worldbuilding is flawed and is a genuine step down compared to Pixar’s other works but I don’t feel that’s enough when the stories and characters have enough depth
Also for somebody who claimed “every character in this film is either a jerk, annoying or both” you didn’t spend a single second on Doc Hudson who’s the second most important character in the film and the main anchor to Lightning’s development
After the hot streak you were on these past few months Enter I must say this was a pretty weak video. Probably your weakest this year
... to be fair, lighting mcqueen was speeding in a town where the speed limit is around 40 miles per hour, and destroyed a few statues and power lines. also, there are also characters who acts arrogent, like alladin and the emperour from the empeuror's new groove
Cars 1 and Bug's Life were pretty damn good overall. Maybe derivative and heavy on schtick, but everything you didn't get out of this movie, I remember getting.
Bugs Life is better than Cars.
How is a boring movie better than Peak
/j I respect your opinion, have a good day :)
what is that title
Oh boy, going into "Lightning McQueen Fucks" is very much a ""attacking the setting because you've got nothing else to criticize" it's like "DOES MARIO LITERALLY GROW WHEN HE EATS A MUSHROOM OR IS HE HIGH", You're missing the point, suspension of disbelief to tell a story.
It makes perfect sense for Lightning McQueen to find blue car sexy. He's also a car. Your argument is like saying "how can a bird, find a bird sexy, they're birds" I'm sure there are parameters withing the bird (or car) community and in the Cars universe. However, please don't explain them to me.
Cars 1 is definitely better than 2. But agree to disagree.
I agree with you
The Mysterious Mr.Enter “Dismantling your childhood, one movie and tv show at a time” 😂 but to be fair Cars was that movie that my mom would put on when I was going to bed…🤷🏾♂️
I like the first Cars movie
Wow, this review feels.... Odly vintage....
Incredibles 2 is actually the longest Pixar movie. That movie is 2 hours and 6 minutes
Actually, it’s 1 hour and 58 minutes.
0:48 actually it’s not. Incredibles 2 is longer
Lemme put it this way: if you're not a car guy or know nothing about motorsport or the history of Route 66, then this film may go over your head. Also, I never really questioned the universe of Cars. I grew up watching Thomas the Tank Engine. I know not to ask such existential questions... some of the time.
Ok but like Thomas is EXPLICITLY based on real life and is driven by human conflict that works into the stories about vehicles who have to do their jobs
It's the rick and morty explanation all over again. You need to have a sophisticated and high intellect to appreciate this goofy movie about cars
I actually enjoyed Cars
@TheMysteriousMrEnter: you made a mistake in calling the girl McQueen falls for his defense attorney. She is the town attorney of radiator springs, who in some cases also act as the prosecutor. Whether or not you agree or like her persuasion for him to stay and be punished, it makes sense why she is acting on behalf of the town and against McQueen.
I still like it. Cars 2 not so much
Understandable
Cars racing is like humans watching running or other athletic sports
I understand some of your criticisms here, but I've always enjoyed Cars 1. I'm sure a bit of my love for this movie is because of nostalgia, but I do come back to it every now and then. I still feel like it holds up. It definitely has its flaws, but it has a lot of memorable scenes and I think you understated the story and message. It touches on taking the scenic route and not always speeding through life.
Controversial opinion that many people are likely to disagree, unabashed hatred and logic bending questions that make you imagine things you never wanted to imagine about an animated piece of media? AW YEA, CLASSIC MR ENTER IS BACK BABY AND I'M HERE FOR IT
Wildest take I've seen in a while lol
That title is a title
This movie was built entirely on the gags and puns that could be made by having a world of living cars.
Well, I'm tempted to agree with the negative criticisms here a bit- this one's on the sloppy side. I'm not gonna sit here and say Cars is an underrated masterpiece, but I think it's clear you're both putting in way too much thought into something with the depth of an 80s Saturday Morning cartoon while also just getting things outright wrong.
It's fine you don't like Sally. But she's the prosecutor, not the defense, so her acting against him in court makes total sense. People DO like to walk each other walk, and run, and eat, and drink, and other basic things. They're called marathons, eating contests, chugging contests, and *races*, and I do believe all of them have been the basis of full stories. It's more that Cars doesn't do a whole lot with it despite the egregious runtime. The tractors act like cows and the beetles act like beetles because nobody cared about coherent, sensible worldbuilding and favored a quick gag instead.
I also always felt the criticism of 'how does this world work lol?' to be a fun meme that just got taken too far. It does not matter really why the cars have fleshy bits, or why they lock their doors, or why they have toilets. It's all supposed to be silly and nonsensical, and so it is. There are some more relevant criticisms like "why is WW2 canon in this world?" as seen in Planes and "Why is everything so weirdly sexual?" as seen in... the entire series really. But I don't think questioning why a product that was designed to be stupid and silly to sell toys was stupid and silly, or else we're going to have to start exploring the rich worldbuilding of G1 Transformer and My Little Pony.
I like you Enter, I really do. I've been here since your days of yelling at Breadwinners and MLP:FiM, and I really do respect and appreciate the growth you've undergone as both a creator and a person since then. And I'm still rooting for you. But this review does exemplify a problem you yourself have pointed out, that being your tendency to nitpick things that don't matter and get facts wrong. I don't want to see you turn into another Doug Walker, so I really hope you can find a way to catch yourself when making poor criticisms like these.
Best wishes.
@AlezanderNX.That's fair
Honestly the Cars slander really bugs me. It's a good movie.
So basically no one is allowed to voice dislike of any movie no matter how good it is?
@@Channeleven2345789 You would make a great lawyer with how you can interpret things in ways they were never meant to be interpreted.
@@TheLobsterCopter5000 and how have I? Way I see it, you’re upset somebody said something bad about a movie you like. What else is there to interpret?
@@Channeleven2345789kameGaKillfan? Is that you? Did you really make another username so people wouldn't recognize your constant white-knighting? Geez, not every criticism of this guy needs your defense. His opinion was stupid. He picked apart cares based on nitpicks no one other than him cares about. And he got some things blatantly wrong.
@@Channeleven2345789Some of his points weren't very good though, Car's 2 is objectively worse but he said it was better because he thinks the desert looks boring in the first movie.
About the whole “Carsona” thing that I’ve wondered
Considering that Dale Earnhardt Jr is in the film, does that mean his father Dale Earnhardt Sr was in the Cars Universe? As seeing that the Cars universe mirrors our own universe, does that mean that Cars Dale Sr died in a racing accident (like he did in real life)?
I’ve just always wondered about it
I wanna take this chance to say, Lightyear is stupidly overhated.
I mean..i get that nitpicky reviews are fun to watch. But at a certain point you got to stop overthinking the whole cars as people thing. Its like watching an animal series and wondering why the animals have pet animals lol
Un seriously? I do admit that it's one of the weaker pixar movies but the story at least makes a lot more sense than Cars 2.
Also for how attraction works in the cars universe, Mcqueen was starting to like Sally's personality. That said, yeah he did find her hot from the start. The universe makes it pretty clear rhat sports cars are considered very attractive.
Dude released a video at 10:30. +10 respect.
Love it when this guy gets mad over a cartoon car. So satisfying, yet hilarious.
Mr Enter's counterpart in the Cars universe: Humans 1 is a bad movie which exists that I wish did not. It is a bad movie that I hate. Very very bad.
With races, you have so many Olympic events around running. Speedwalking, marathon, 100 m, 200 m, 400 m, 1 mile, 5000 m, and 10000 m for just running. Not counting the jumping sports. So getting excited for cars driving isn’t weird.
I also think you didn’t “get” the movie. The plot is about slowing down and appreciating the people around you. The movie only works since it’s a pretty slow paced one. This would be dangerous since you don’t want kids to get bored. But I didn’t get bored as a kid watching this movie, so clearly that doesn’t happen.
Outside of memes and stuff, I never paid much attention to questions like “how to cars fuck” or something. But I was relaxing enjoying the riffing between friends, Americana, and the nature presented.
I think this is a miss by you. I can’t call it boring if even kids can watch and enjoy the movie.
I feel like you spent entirely too long over-analyzing certain aspects of the movie that have nothing to do with your objective view of the characters and story. Having watched this movie again recently, I really enjoyed it because it's a movie that you can let go and relax to. The story -- for how simple it is -- conveys the quaint, small-town vibe really well in my opinion.
I just think this is a pretty bad take. It's a love letter to route 66 Americana, and it's pretty wonderful
It's not supposed to be one-to-one with the human world. I see this done extremely often when people say "oh, so it’s basically like foot racing" when they talk about how this world works. I'll agree that they didn't think it through too well with the some vehicles being animals, but I'm tired of people trying to draw direct parallels between the real world and cars because the worlds are similar.
They are similar, but they're not supposed to be one-to-one.
My thoughts exactly! Even if I weren parallel 1:1 I’d argue that watching humans running super fast is still pretty exciting.
But like, do you see track sprinters crash spectacularly with their body parts flailing everywhere and explosions? Do you see Usain Bolt jumping over the broken bodies of his other runners?
