Hey guys, I'm here, let's get technical!
I just saw Cars 3, and ooooh it's amazing.
I love it so much that today we're gonna look at the Top 10 Things You Need to Know
About Cars 3.
Number One: In Cars 3, Lightning McQueen is based on Kobe Bryant.
In an interview Christina Radish of Collider did with Mike Rich, one of the Cars 3 writers,
Mike noted that basketball player Kobe Bryant really affected the character Lightning McQueen
became in Cars 3.
Mike said he was inspired after reading this Facebook post Kobe Bryant made after he broke
his Achilles Heel.
>> LOUIS CK: Everyone's got an Achilles Heel.
Achilles's Achilles Heel was his heel.
>> ALEX: The post was about Kobe's concerns about the future of his career after his accident,
and includes lines like "This is such BS!
All the training and sacrifice just flew out the window with one step that I've done millions
of times!
The frustration is unbearable....
Maybe I should break out the rocking chair and reminisce on the career that was.
Maybe this is how my book ends.
Maybe Father Time has defeated me...Then again maybe not!...
"If you see me in a fight with a bear, prey for the bear".
I've always loved that quote.
Thats "mamba mentality" we don't quit, we don't cower, we don't run.
We endure and conquer."
Mike and fellow Cars 3 writer Bob Peterson were touched seeing a man who spent his entire
life cultivating this image of the tough, best basketball player, suddenly being very
vulnerable and genuinely concerned about his future and how he will recover.
They were also inspired by Kobe's hyped up attitude towards the end.
This is reflected in Lightning McQueen in Cars 3.
Sidenote here: Mike Rich is known for work on sports films, and now he's working on
Cars 3.
Huh.
Number Two: Tony Shalhoub is the one of only Disney actors who uses an accent.
Disney isn't fond of it's actors using an accent for a film, because they believe
it can destroy their performance.
Disney only resorts to accents when they either have to, like for the upcoming Spider Man:
Homecoming film...
>> SPIDER MAN: Mr. Stark, here's my report for tonight. I stopped a grand theft bicycle!
Hey, can you do me a favour? Hold on to that! Is this anybody's bike?
>> ELLEN: It is awesome to have you here!
>> TOM HOLLAND: Thank you so much! I love this show, I love you, so thank you, thank you for having me!
>> ALEX: ... or when the actor is just too good to pass up.
Thus, in the Cars franchise, Tony Shalhoub, the actor who voices Luigi, lays on an Italian
accent.
This is how Tony sounds as Luigi...
>> LUIGI: I must scream into the world my excitement from the top of some place very high! Do you know many Ferraris?
>> ALEX: (bad accent) Luigi only follow the Ferraris.
Ooh no.
*laughs* And this is how he sounds in real life.
>> TONY SHALHOUB: Thanks to the Television Academy. To everyone at Universal Television. Uh, USA Network and Studios.
>> ALEX: Number Three: Pixar made a life-sized Lightning McQueen.
As a promotional stunt for the film, John Lasseter, the director of Cars 1 and 2 and one of
the men behind Pixar, revealed a real-life Lightning McQueen at the North American International
Auto Show in Detroit.
Roll the clip!
*shows clip of a bolt of lighting with a crown to the theme of afro circus, which Alex sings terribly*
Hehheh nah I'm just kidding.
Roll the real clip!
The remotely control, life-sized McQueen was revealed in early January, and with it came
an in-depth look into the new characters in Cars 3.
Number Four: The late Paul Newman voices Doc Hudson.
If you've seen Cars 3 already, you might have noticed Lightning McQueen flashing-back
to Doc Hudson, his mentor and trainer from Cars 1.
While the voice actor for Doc Hudson, Paul Newman, passed away in 2008, that's his
actual voice used in those flashbacks!
They got Paul Newman's voice by repurposing some of the audio recorded for Cars 1, which
is definitely not an unknown practice in Hollywood.
To find out more, Dirk Libbey of CinemaBlend interviewed Brian Fee, the director of Cars
3, who said quote, "We have lots of Paul Newman in the movie, which was because when
John [Lasseter] was recording Paul Newman in Cars 1, John always kept the tape [running]....
We were always recording, and Paul would tell stories in between takes, and John just 'keep
it going.'
We had 28 hours of Paul Newman stuff that we were able to listen to and repurpose."
Think about that: they have over a full day of recordings of Paul Newman.
Dude should make a podcast.
Number Five: Speaking of Brian Fee...
Cars 3 is his directorial debut, but he's been a regular over at Disney/Pixar.
He was a prop designer on The Little Mermaid 2, 101 Dalmatians 2, Mulan 2, Tarzan 2, and
the Fox and the Hound 2.
Up in Emeryville, he was a storyboard designer for Cars, Ratatouille, Wall-E, and Cars 2.
Number Six: Speaking of Storyboards...
>> OFF SCREEN: This is gonna get old!
>> ALEX: Yea, I know!
Speaking of storyboards, 81,924 were designed in the process of making Cars 3, but only
10,102 were actually depicted scenes in the final movie.
Storyboard are, of course, sketches depicting each shot of a film.
Number Seven: Jackson Storm is carefully designed.
When the Cars 3 team set out to design Jackson Storm, the wanted to create a car that looked
like the exact opposite of Lightning McQueen in every way possible.
They did this by designing Jackson Storm in the following ways:
Compared to Lightning McQueen's quite curvy body, Jackson Storm is sleeker, sharper, and
a bit shorter, like he hugs the ground.
On top of that, Jackson Storm still looks completely realistic.
A matter of fact, the Cars 3 team went to various car shows, explored actual race tracks
like the Sonoma raceway, and consulted Ray Evernham, who used to be the crew chief of
Hendrick Motorsports, when designing Jackson Storm.
All of the allowed them to design him to the best possible standard.
Heck, even things like the shininess of Storm or the amount of metal flakes in each paint
color were crazy accurate!
Not even my editing in post production is that accur-
Number Eight: Cars 3 vs. Cars 1.
Cars 3 is much more like Cars 1, in the sense of emotional complexity, and, really, overall
goodness.
John Lasseter told Entertainment Weekly, quote, "[Cars 3 is] a very emotional story.
It's a little bit more akin to Cars 1, where you get into a deep emotion with [Lightning
McQueen]," subtilty hinting at the less than favourable reaction to Cars 2.
Moreover, the movie seems like sorta the opposite of Cars 1.
In Cars 1, Lightning McQueen is the new, cool car that all the other cars fear, but in Cars
3, coming out 11 years after Cars 1, Lightning McQueen is now one of the old champs who has
to face the newer, better generation of cars.
For those who like analogies, The King is to Lightning McQueen in the first film as
Lightning McQueen is to Jackson Storm in the third film.
For those who don't like analogies, I'm sorry, that was very convoluted *laughs a
bit*
A matter of fact, this is echoed in the movie's music.
In the bar scene after Lightning and Cruz visit Doc Hudson's old race track, a couple
forklifts can be seen and heard singing Glory Days, a song by one of my favourite singer-songwriters,
Bruce Springsteen.
The song is about a man who is past his prime, and past his "Glory Days," so now he sits
around and reflects on them.
In verse 3 of Glory Days, Bruce emotionally sings the he is, "just sitting back trying
to recapture a little of the glory."
Glory Days reflects Lightning McQueen's story in the movie: he was once the great,
new, fresh racer, but now he "takes a back seat" (pun totally intended) to the newer
cars and is left to reflect on the career that once was.
Number Nine: Cars 3 Being Super Dark.
Despite what you probably saw in the pretty dark marketing, when you actually see the
movie, you realize that Cars 3 isn't a super intense sad-fest.
I mean, the movie is rated G!
Other movies that are rated G include Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Mary Poppins,
and the Peanuts Movie, so it makes sense Cars 3 isn't full-on Manchester by the Sea.
Although, as Scott Mendelson explains in this article he wrote for Forbes, the intense marketing
was a real win for Pixar.
Especially after the not-amazing Cars 2, going out to see a whole new Cars would be on the
front of people's mind, but throwing in this sorta-shocking, sorta-controversial ad
got people talking.
It got people interested.
I know it definitely had that effect on me.
Though I definitely would have seen it anyways, so.
Number Ten: The Demolition Derby.
To tell us more about the Demolition Derby, we Art from the AtZ Show.
>> ART: Hi Alex!
>> ALEX: Howdy!
Take it away!
>> ART: There's tons of cool stuff to be found in the demolition derby scene, starting off with mud!
Believe it or not, mud it one of the hardest things to animate.
And in this movie, they animate mud in 616 scenes.
The reason it is so hard to animate is because
it's thicker than water, but it's still a liquid, and there's bunch of it, constantly
interacting with the cars, so you can imagine how much work went into animating mud!
On top of that, there's 2 huge easter eggs in this scene.
And one of them is the The Pizza Planet Truck, who takes us all the way back to Toy Story.
It's a thing that we see in almost every single Pixar film, and in this one, we find out that he is, um, named Todd.
Which I'm not complaining, because there's other cool animated characters named Todd (yay BoJack Horseman!), so I'll leave it at that
Another cool thing to notice in the scene was the Luxo ball, painted on one the hood of a car.
So these 2 are easter eggs that always find a way to sneak in.
>> ALEX: Thanks, Art!
Speaking of which, if you want to check out ALL of the easter eggs and references in Cars
3, as well as how it fits into the Pixar Theory, check out the video we made over the Art's
channel.

That's all I've got for y'all this time.
Art, do you want to take us out?
>> ART: Sure!
Thanks for watching, DFTBA, and explore on.
>> NARRATOR: Get ready for what's coming.
More speed, more JOHN CENA!!
>> ALEX: Like for outdated memes woo!
