Cars

Movie • 2006 • Animation  

Report
Lightning McQueen, a hotshot rookie race car driven to succeed, discovers that life is about the journey, not the finish line, when he finds himself unexpectedly detoured in the sleepy Route 66 town of Radiator Springs. On route across the country to the big Piston Cup Championship in California to compete against two seasoned pros, McQueen gets to know the town's offbeat characters.

i'm not sure what to classify this as, but when sally and mcqueen first meet (before the court case), mcqueen catcalls sally multiple times and sally is visibly uncomfortable. after the court case scene, mcqueen says something like "well now i definitly won't buy you dinner". at the end of movie, it's implied that sally and mcqueen get together romantically. i suggest you skip the scene. if you skip it, a summary is: the town decides that mcqueen needs to fix the road since he destroyed it the night before.

It is mildly implied that a side character may be a drug user, but noting is explicitly shown or mentioned. Character is a VW bus and a stereotypical 60’s style hippy.

When Frank appears, it could be considered a jumpscare as it is sudden. i suggest you just skip the tractor tipping scene as it's basically just friendship building, the only plot related thing is that the tractors are in the town

One could consider McQueen's initial dislike/repulsion toward the old rusty broken down cars as ableist, though it might as well be considered to be classism.

During the races and many other scenes you hear the tires of the cars screech.

The movie revolves around cars and there are no humans, but there are three instances where there is a car crash. 1. On a race track, one car crashes and causes all of the cars to pile up and crash behind them. Protagonist survives. 2. We are shown a newspaper image of the mentor when he crashed, ending his career. 3. One of the racers is spun out by another racer and crashes. Protagonist helps him out, though.
