** If the cars lack manual dexterity and require simplified interfaces to perform most tasks (pumping gas, opening doors, playing videogames, etc.) then who built some of the more finely crafted items like trophies or the gas pumps themselves. This troper began to theorize that sapient cars and humans coexisted in the film universe, and that the cars simply ran over all the humans once everything had been built and they were no longer needed.

** Don't blame Disney, don't blame Pixar, blame my kids. My son ''wasn't even born'' when Cars came out, and it's still his favorite movie, and the only things he has asked for for birthday and christmas are Cars-themed toys. Now personally I find it to be ''far'' from Pixar's "worst" movie and like it a lot. Just not to the single-minded intensity of a 3-year-old boy.

* Did the plot of the movie strike anyone else as ''creepy''? Lightning McQueen is arrested, imprisoned with no chance to contact the legal representation which it is established that he has, and chained to Bessie. Meanwhile, apparently no one in the town has access to a TV or Radio to hear about the missing racecar that everyone's looking for...or they just don't care. His community service is a task that he's never actually trained to do and probably isn't physically prepared for (a racecar towing something like Bessie?). When the lost couple is driving through he pleads with them to stop, begging for help and saying that he's being held against his will. Probably meant to be played for laughs but to this troper coming across as a bit disturbing. And then suddenly they're all best friends and everyone's happy! Did anyone else think StockholmSyndrome?

* How did McQueen replace all the broken neon in Radiator Springs? I'm pretty sure he didn't bring it with him and I didn't see a neon store in town. If he ordered it from out of town he must not have told anyone who he was, since it takes a call from Doc to bring all the reporters to town. And where was Sally while they replaced all the neon anyway? If she were up at the Wheel Well she would have seen them at work, since you can see the whole town from up there.

** Beetles serve in the movie as literal bugs, but Sally is Porsche 911 so she must have her engine in the back and she seems perfectly normal. Besides, according to the car anatomy in the movie, front-engine vehicles would have their brains in their ''noses'', which I don't think is really less weird than having brain in your butt.

* The sequel. This troper just saw the trailer and admits it does look ''very'' interesting, but HOW IN THE WORLD do you go from a relatively realistic film of friendship and learning there's more to life than winning, to SPIES and ESPIONAGE?!?! That's like making a sequel to WALL-E where aliens invade the Earth and threaten to destroy all of mankind!!!

** FridgeBrilliance: Pixar's take on sequels is that they only make them if they think they have a story that can top the original. What better way to do that than with your least excellent film? Also, their third-lowest-rated film, ''[[MonstersInc Monsters, Inc.]]'', is getting a sequel.
