Charming. The mechanic looks like Brock Samson too.

Oh, I saw that somewhere before! It’s one of my favorite classic Disney shorts. I think John Lasseter said that it was one of the main inspirations for Cars, especially the car’s designs, how their eyes were at the windshield. Pixar did move away from the animation style in ‘Susie’ , they struggled with it in development, but I think a lot of the basic look of the characters designs were inspired by the short.

It apparently was also an inspiration for the 1969 Disney movie The Love Bug, since the short appears as a bonus feature on that DVD. (Narrated by the guy who voiced Winnie the Pooh!)
