Cars: Sur la route

Cars on the Road is an okay enough miniseries, but I was rather underwhelmed too. Not only are the episodes surprisingly short, but I feel like they don't utilise their fullest potential (The Legend and B-Movie both come close though). The first two episodes are mostly dream sequences and one episode is mostly just about trucks singing. It's 6-minutes, so I didn't mind it too much, but it's probably the most pointless episode of the show.

I thought this miniseries would've been more to be honest. I feel like you can just edit all the episodes together as a movie, which is funny because the entire show overall is 74-minutes in length.

Overall, it's okay, but nothing groundbreaking.

I loved this show, it was so funny. I loved Ivy so much. I think I will try to get a figure of her !

Hope they will do another seasons. We really discover more about the world of Cars !

I was so scared that I would be too short but it was okay honestly !

I was happy to see more about the new racer of the 3rd film, would be nice if there's a movie about her.

It really reminded me for the type of shows I was watching as a kid. I hope some kids saw it and loved it !

It's just sad it was released the same day than everything, I hope nobody will miss it !

So yeah, for every fan of the movies, go watch this show. It was so nice.

Really just popped up on my Disney+ and had no idea this was being made nor has released, but it came as a pleasant surprise. I love the cars universe, so any more of that and I'm game. This really short show, which might otherwise be seen as Cars shorts, is really enjoyable.

The animation is right on par with the movies, here with some great scenes, loved the carnival scenes and the directing and editing during the haunted house episode. But generally it had this lovely look to it we all know and love from Pixar. Mater and McQueen are the main characters here and I think they are balanced well, some people might dislike Mater but I think he's totally fine. He's even a bit more toned down here versus something like Cars 2.

Now most of the show is just fun, though everyone of them tries to tell a small story, or life lesson of sorts. Only really the last one has some emotional value to it. But it's kept very simple and obviously adults aren't the target audience for this, that said I still liked it. It was over in a flash, every episode is around 5 minutes or so, you could watch the whole season in an hour.

It's literally just a fun small road trip with every episode having a little theme, some more original than others. Other taking heaving inspiration on parodying movies like Mad Max. I thought those were okay, less memorable though. The final episode, the haunted hotel, and salt fever are my favorites by a small margin.

I could imagine if you did know about this coming and got yourself excited for it that it could be a letdown due to how short it is. I didn't have that though and really enjoyed it, could do for more though!

The show itself is fine, it's a neat bunch of short episodes with different kinds of fun themes and messages.

However, what bothers me is the lack of creativity in this show as a whole. So little of the world of, well, sentient living cars is utilized. The characters are living cars, and the only episode which utilizes that in a way some other show featuring living objects is the Salt Fever. Pretty much with every other storyline they have come up with, the characters could be replaced with anything other than cars, and it would function in the exact same way.

The themes in the episodes are also pretty played out, when talking about kids programs, haunted house, clowns, some horrible monster that turns out to be good?

What I was, and still am looking for from this show is the level of fun and interesting themes as seen with the Cars Toons. All the crazy stories, wacky characters and funny plots. This show compared to that is just real life. It's mondaine, it's boring, you can always guess what comes next, all in all it's the regular life, and what kid want's to watch regular boring life next to a ton of wacky stories revolving around Monster car wrestle, Mater becoming a drift king or a Astronaut, or any of the other great ideas they poured into that show.

TLDR: It's a mediocre kids show, nothing new, great animation and a few good episodes and moment's here and there, but nothing to be remembered when comparing to the excellent Cars Toons.

I was sceptical of this show at first but was enjoyable but not as good as the movies there are 9 episodes and all of them are enjoyable in their own way. But some are weak like episode 6 is the weakest because not much happens. But the animation looks better than I thought, characters are nice and I like the new characters as well. But not every new character is great because some are not some are not developed well,and some episodes are boring and I don't care for them and some episodes are too chaotic to the point where they're not fun to watch. Overall it's just a nice fun adventure series with chaos fun and interesting characters overall if you're interested in it watch it.
