Fans of the cars series, me especially, have been waiting quite a while for new cars content to be released (other than shorts). Now with Cars: on the Road being released, I will say its a refreshing and great addition to the Cars content.
The story of the show was very enjoyable and had me laughing at some moments while also creating feelings of nostalgia and looking back to times now passed. The animation feels exactly like the first Cars movies. The overall quality of the design and characters is superb. Every episode explored a different idea allowing extended world building of the Cars franchise. I also felt that the show was very similar to Maters Tall Tales which I have a place in my heart for since I watched it when I was younger.
My only complaint would be the length of the episodes. It would've been better to make the episodes 20-30 minutes long to further explore and world build.
Overall a great show for the family and Cars fans alike (with a lot of pop culture references too).

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.

It was a great way to continue the Cars franchise just like their three movies and their show Cars Toon Mater's Tall Tales, some characters of their previous movies make cameos and we meet some new characters like Ivy, the animation is great, the theme song is catchy and perfect and the entire show is just plain perfect, it premeired on the Disney+ day just like the Pinocchio (2022) live action remake and they have nine episodes and way better than Blaze And The Monster Machines, the Cars franchise is so awesome and great just like the movie itself which is so many times better than Mars Needs Moms, Strange Magic, Underdog (2007), The Wild (2006) and every Disney direct to video sequels.
I was expecting that the episodes should be at least 20-30mins each. But only 6-7 mins episodes after 5 years of waiting. That was the only thing i didn't like.
But apart from this. The story was awesome. The animation was awesome. The cameo of Cruz in the last episode was a great idea. Lightning and Mater most lovable characters. Short but to-the-point episodes. It could be longer. But next, we are expecting a full-length movie with a good story.
I wish I could join Disney Pixar's Animation Team. The best animation production house. I wish I can join any of them Pixar, Illumination, or Dreamworks.

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.

- TriviaUnlike previous shows, such as Martin se la raconte (2008) and Tales from Radiator Springs (2013) (excluding Bugged (2013) and The Radiator Springs 500½ (2014)), this series marks the first time Owen Wilson voiced Lightning McQueen outside of the movies since basically the theme park Lightning McQueen's Racing Academy (2019).
- GoofsAt the end of the 3rd Cars movie, Lightning McQueen was wearing Doc's old paint job. But in this TV series, he was wearing his original paint job at the beginning of the series premiere, Dino Park.
