History Trivia / Cars3

* WordOfGod: Brian Fee stated on Twitter that Lightning and Sally are still dating, and are not married yet.
** In an article on USA Today, John Lasseter states [[spoiler: Lightning changed into a Doc Hudson-esque paint job at the end of the movie to experience what Doc did. He adds Lightning is bound to return to his original getup and it won't be permanent and just does it for fun. He also says he'll only be Cruz's crew chief for a short time to get her going, and he'll continue racing. A section in the Essential Guide confirms this.]]

** Before settling on the film's final story, a scene was written involving [=McQueen=] attending a high-profile party in California filled with celebrity cameos. At one point, anthropomorphized versions of [[Series/{{Batman}} the original]] and [[Film/TheDarkKnightTrilogy modern]] Batmobiles (who may or may not have been voiced by [[Creator/AdamWest their]] [[Creator/ChristianBale actors]]) would be seen talking to one another.

** Averted with the late Creator/PaulNewman as Doc Hudson. Though Doc has been voiced by Creator/CoreyBurton in a few video game appearances, John Lasseter was [[http://hillbillyhell.tumblr.com/post/161550692896/lightningmcscream-so-im-emotional adamant that Paul Newman not be replaced by anyone in this appearance]]. Therefore, all of Doc's dialogue in the film is taken from recordings of Newman, both from dialogue that didn't make it into the first film and stories that Newman told on-set--Lasseter had the foresight to make sure Newman was always being recorded while telling these stories.

** Paul Newman, the original voice of Doc Hudson, [[AuthorExistenceFailure died in 2008 from lung cancer]]. However, as noted above, the film used dialog that Newman recorded during production of the first film as a way to have him "reprise" his role as Doc.

*** Straight and Averted for the Mexican dub, since Doc Mexican voice actor Pedro Armendáriz Jr. died in 2011, Doc new dialogue was recorded by Héctor Lama Yazbek, but for dialogue taken from the first movie Pedro Armendáriz Jr. voice work was kept intact.

* RefittedForSequel: The film focuses on how Lightning is affected by the absence of Doc Hudson. John Lasseter had previously considered this subplot while writing ''Cars 2'', but ultimately cut it out.

* MeanCharacterNiceActor: It's safe to say that Armie Hammer is nothing like [[{{Jerkass}} Jackson Storm]].

* HeyItsThatSound:
** When Cruz's outdoor treadmill finishes setting up, it plays the Mac boot up sound; this was also heard in ''WesternAnimation/WallE''.

** In the Polish version, Mater is now voiced by Marian Opania, because his voice actor from the previous two movies and from Mater's Tall Tales, Witold Pyrkosz, died several months prior to the movie's release.

** Also, ''Radio/CarTalk'' host Tom Magliozzi reprises his role as one of the Rust-eze sponsors, despite his death in 2014. (Tellingly, all plot-specific dialogue goes to his living brother, with Tom's character either nodding along in affirmation or spouting catchphrases pulled from ''Car Talk'' and the first ''{{Cars}}'' film.)
