Okay. So. I finally got around to watching Cars on the Road, and to say that I am pleasantly surprised is an understatement.
I haven't stopped smiling/thinking about it for at least an hour.
The first thing that I noticed was the animation, how much life they put into everything. I was not at all expecting that kind of quality, let alone visuals. It was so fun, expressive, and absolutely amazing. The plot itself was very silly, or at least the mini ones that McQueen and Mater got themselves into, but yeah.
But the second thing that got me were the problems. Despite how silly and fun the show itself was, what they handled were still at least somewhat serious. Like Mater almost dying/crashing (Really trying not to take this one seriously but Still), him and McQueen fighting, the issues he had with his sister? Amazing.
Then, and THEN. The random pieces of lore we got about Lightning himself.
Apparently he's a complete, adorable nerd. Not just about dinosaurs (Because oh my GOD I would have never guessed he'd be like that but now it makes sense why he likes Dinoco so much, at least partly????) but about movie making! Or at least actors! And he has a clown phobia! These are things I would have never seen coming in a million years but oh my god does it flesh out his character even more for me.
But, it does leave me with one question: Where the heck is Lightning McQueen's own family?
Like almost everyone else talks about their family, parents even. Mater (Obviously), Cruz, Sally (I think a little at least), and even Francesco. But we don't get even a HINT about where McQueen comes from??? Am I the only one who's a little stumped about this????
I know there are hcs out there that he comes from an unfortunate household, to say the least, and I would totally get behind that. But I just dunno, I think it's so weird that that's happening with the main character of the franchise. Are they ever gonna do anything about that??
Anyway. That's my little rant about that. If there was one thing that I wish for this show, it's that I'd love to see the episodes go just a little longer, but it is also Disney. So.
