@popculturebrain: The original idea for CARS was super dark, but eerily ahead of its time. Pixar’s CARS turns 20 years old this month, so here are some things I bet you never knew about it.

“The story starts in 1886-“ oh so we’re going BACK back

AmfK :

“Cars turns 20 years old this month”

LoyalHuntxr :

Cars is the best Pixar movie

Denton Carpenter :

This movie would be nice to see on the big screen

chilipepperjessica :

Lightning McQueen merch is still incredibly popular. Almost every kid in my daughter’s preschool has a cars backpack, or t-shirt. Ka Chow!

Aada :

turns out my attetion span is just fine

HandlebarCuber :

Cars turns 20!!? Well now I feel 32... cause I am 🙈😂

molly :

My family’s Cars dvd PUT IN WORK!! My sister and I were obsessed with it!

Universe :

I love how you went all the way back to the start of real life cars! 😂

mentallydyll :

I like that it sorta came full circle with Cruz Ramirez being an electric yellow car wanting to be a racer too

Karel Vermeulen :

I’m 24 now and it’s still one of my all time favorite movies

Hass :

We did NOT need to start in 1886

Justin :

“There is no pixel on the screen that does not have an extraordinary level of scrutiny and care applied to it, there’s nothing that’s just throw away” Ai can never replicate human work like this😔

Jade 🕸️🕷️ :

I’m surprised you didn’t mention the origin of Lightning’s last name! He was named after Glenn Mqueen, (who Nemo was dedicated to) who was an animator who passed!

Anon Y. Mous :

Oh we're covering the history of CARS, not Cars.

King Copper :

Wish Disney could put this level of attention to animation in their new movies

Tha Boy Fraser :

KA CHOW!

dopeisjesse :

Kachow

Kfir Unger :

The story begins millions of years ago when a big bang created the universe

mandaloriamama :

Oh thank God they improved from that original idea pitch

Matty Gee :

The concept of the movie gets oddly creepy when you wonder where the people are. Are they invisible? Are they non-existant?

My wishes for Cars 4 would either be a prequel where we get to see mcqueen’s run of piston cup wins, or a sequel following Cruz as she learns how to compete
