Funny thing though how much safer vehicles have gotten since this cartoon was made, and yet just like in the cartoon, "accidents" increase. Portraying drivers as gun welding murders is a nice touch, since it seems most "accidents" today are conscious acts. People CHOOSE to drink and drive, read, text, talk on phone, play music instruments, etc. It seems that speed limits are lowering and new laws are being passed because people CHOSE to ignore previous laws.
Yet, this cartoon still shows enough clearly the way of think of americans: They create potentially dangerous tools and if something goes wrong are the tool theirself to be accused of everything, not their creators, nor their users!
many of the 1950's shorts paved the way for cars, if you watch "the little house" look at the tow trucks windshield it has the eyes that you see in the movie cars!
shame that its out of sync...

Brilliant cartoon. Blame everything else and ignore what the real problems are. It's like watching 24 hour news networks!

I think that lawyer did the voice of Captain Hook.
Does anyone else notice how almost every Disney video on Youtube has a highest rated comment about how good these are compared to most new garbage?

I'm surprised there was auto-traffic awareness back in the day. And nothing was done about it. There's more roads now than ever.

It's like the woman who spilled hot coffee on herself, and blamed McDonald's for not cautioning her that the coffee was hot.
Because of that, every single place now includes a 'caution, this drink you are about to enjoy may be hot' on their cups.
Everyone is in such an uproar to idiot-proof and prevent lawsuits.

And now writings like that are being spreaded around the world as proof of american intelligence.
On a Superman outfits for kids:"Warning! This outfit doesn't gain the ability to fly to it's wearer!"
On a oven:"Warning: This device is made only for cooking! Don't use for suicide!"
On a lot of food packs:"Warning! Extract the food from the pack before eating it!".

I am referring to the way the cars are depicted. Seems the 3D modellers were influenced by cartoons such as these.
xenoblitz 2 years ago
So was I. If you look at any Disney cartoon with antropromorphic cars, they have a similar look. Pixar just took it a step further with the 3D.
