The lovable misfits from the “Cars” franchise are back with “Cars on the
Road” which is some of Pixar’s best work in recent years and provides a a welcome return to the franchise. Consisting of nine episodes of roughly nine minutes each, the episodes chronicle a road trip was taken by Lightning McQueen (Owen Wilson) and Mater (Larry the Cable Guy” as they travel to visit Mater’s sister who is about to get married. Each episode packs a solid amount of laughs, nostalgia, and adventure into each episode as the duo visit a haunted hotel, a circus, a park, tourists attractions and more as they meet all sorts of new and fun characters along the way. The animation is first-rate and unlike some of the films in the series that while charming seemed to drag on a bit at times, this new format is an interesting way of presenting a nearly 90-minute film is easy to enjoy segments. From the fun adventures and great characters, there is plenty of gas in the tank for the franchise and I look forward to seeing what is coming next. Published September 8, 2022 by gareth
