I hope they make more Cars Toon but shorts like mater and the ghostlight and see more the other character without mater. It was too much mater in Cars 2
Ballboi, I know what you mean. The fact that they got famous racecar drivers to do some of the WGP racers’ voices seemed kind of like a trick to sell merchandise .
Of course if it was, I don’t hold it against Disney or Pixar. They want to make money, just like the rest of us.
Like Jeff Gordon or Lewis Hamilton? Well, isn’t that the same as Richard Petty playing The King? Or Michael Schumacher basically playing himself? I don’t think it was a merchandise game. I think it was just a clever way of sort of ‘connecting’ the worlds, if that makes sense.
Yeah, let’s be honest, how many in the regular audience knew they were voicing characters? Or how many of them actually know who those racers are?
I don’t think it would be enough to attract a significant audience, so I would call it marketing. More likely an Easter Egg for the few people who knew about the thing beforehand.
See, Paulisha? Told you people would like this thread.
I agree, I don’t think it was for marketing, just fun for the audience. Although it did double as marketing a tiny bit, I saw Jeff Gordon on Ellen and they talked about the film even though he only has like two lines. He was one of my favourite WGP racers actually. They so should have made a Canadian one, he could say ‘eh’ after every sentence.
Yeah, it’s not something that a large number of people notice or know but I think in a general sense, people like Jeff or Lewis are famous enough to where most people know who they are.
LOL, shut up.
He’s my fourth favorite one. I was just thinking that! They should have! I could picture him now, white with red details. Haha, if he had a line.
I’m kind of sorry that Carla was the only female WGP racecar. I suppose racing is probably like that in real life, but it still seemed kind of extreme to me.
Ah well, at least Pixar gave us the courageous and likeable Holley Shiftwell to help balance the scales a bit.
I understand why you wish that^^. But in real racing there are very few Female racing drivers, so maybe they were trying to make it accurate to the human world.
