YES! I KNEW THIS WOULD HAPPENS!
BOTH OF THEM HATE JACKSON FOR TALKING TO THEIR BABY CRUZ!
I FEEL VERY SMUG ABOUT ANYONE WHO SAID SALLY WAS GOING TO BE JEALOUS OF CRUZ!
IT’S THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY PEOPLE WE SHOULDN’T WORRY OR FEEL COMPETITIVE ABOUT OTHER FEMALES TALKING TO GUYS WHETHER THEY’RE A BOYFRIEND OR EVEN JUST A FRIEND!
DID I MENTION CRUZ IS ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE! AND SHE LOOKS INTIMIDATED BY JACKSON! NOT MY BABY!
LIGHTNING, SALLY, GO KICK JACKSON’S ASS AND PROTECT YOUR DAUGHTER!
…Well there goes my Cruzon ship.
…Fritter/Cruz go!
Why do I keep shipping Cruz with characters who absolute dicks to her at best and at worst ones who try to murder her?
when some fuckboy tries to flirt with ur daughter
Sally: Hello?
Cruz: Hey what’s up?
Sally: I just called to check on you and Lightning. Is he there?
Cruz: Uh... he can’t come here right now.
Sally: Okay... well tell me when he can.
Cruz: Oh I can’t do that.
Sally: What do you mean you can’t?
Cruz: I mean can’t because he’s racing.
(Loud crashing noises are heard, Cruz cringes as she hopes Sally didn’t hear at all)
Sally: GO CHECK ON HIM!
Cruz: Okay you don’t have to shout at me!
(Cruz zooms to get a better view, horrified and praying that Lightning’s okay)
Cruz: He’s still racing.
(Metal is heard being smashed)
Sally: Where are you two right now?!
Cruz: We're at Derby!
Sally: WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU'RE "AT DERBY"?!
Cruz: I MEAN I'M AT DERBY!
SALLY: WHAT DERBY ARE YOU TWO IN?!
Cruz: WE'RE AT A DEMOLITION DERBY!
Sally: WHY ARE YOU TWO AT A DEMOLITION DERBY?!
Cruz: FUCK YOU!!
Duh. I never had any doubts
MMMMMMEEEEEEEEEE!
<3333
Why are my idea so weird?
That’s what I think will happen too.
Even in Toy Story 3 the conflict of “your child will grow up and won’t need you” was postponed with Andy giving the toys to Bonnie. She’s going to get older still and give up the toys and it’s just another delay of the inevitable and heartache will restart once again.
Lightning retiring after having one last comeback by beating Jackson would be beautiful, heartbreaking, but hopeful ending that would resolve his internal conflict and having him leave on his own terms. He’d see it as a choice he made, that Doc didn’t have. Doc said there was a whole lot left in him after his crash that he never had the chance to show it, the crash left him bitter and angry at the racing world and he wanted nothing more than to hide and never hear of it again. Lightning doesn’t want to be that, he doesn’t want to be kicked out of the sport he loves, he doesn’t want to become resentful of it when he stops. He wants the choice of retiring, not the fear. Leaving something that you love doing, knowing that you accomplished a lot and made it your choice is a satisfying end.
Him retiring and maybe even becoming Cruz’s crew chief would be his character arc coming full circle, becoming the Doc to a new generation, to Cruz.
Hear me out: yes, they can do a movie where he’s falling behind new tech, refuses to give up, trains with Cruz, gets revamped, goes into another race and shows those whippersnappers who’s boss. And it could be fun and entertaining and have good characters, and have a message that just because you’re old doesn’t mean you’re out! However, the main emotional conflict for Lightning is unresolved. He still has to let go and retire at some point. There will always be new tech. So really, the main conflict is only postponed.
OR
They could do an ending where he does train, he does get new tech. He could potentially beat Jackson Storm. But then he sees what a promising racer Cruz is (isn’t she supposed to be an aspiring racer?). And he starts to reminisce about his career, and he does realize that he’s had a really great one that will leave a legacy no matter what. And that there’s things he can potentially do with his life (and his wife/girlfriend/whatever) after he’s done racing; his life isn’t over just because he retires. So yeah, maybe he does go in and beats Jackson Storm, just to show that he can and to leave on a high note a la Michael Phelps. But then he retires on his own terms, opening a space for Cruz to enter the circuit, because now he realizes that his legacy can last through the new athletes (again, Michael Phelps–he’s getting beaten by guys who idolized him as kids now and he’s cool as long as they aren’t asses about it). It would close the series, like Toy Story 3, with a message of letting go, letting a younger generation take over, and entering a new chapter of your life. In my opinion, a much stronger and more complex film.
All aboard the friendship bus!
Don’t you two do anything.
Also OMG Mack! John Ratzenberger! YOU EXIST AGAIN!
Road trip squad animated!
Also aren’t Mia and Tia suppose to be teenagers?
Lightning’s really creepy now...
@singlespeedz But it looks like they already have their lights off before they flash him . Can cars install the pop up lights on themselves. Tity implants
Just freaking adorable!
So today at work there was this little girl who was REALLY sad that sally from cars wasn’t coming out to say hello to people and she just kind of flopped everywhere so I found a sally button by the grace of god and I wrote her a note form Sally’s point of view explaining that she was sorry she’d missed her and that she’d see her at the races.
And that little girl took that pin and looked absolutely stunned and held it to her chest, then she picked up the letter and she hugged it to her chest. Her mom came over and hugged me and her dad shook my hand and I started tearing up and that little kid didn’t say a word. She was just holding a piece of paper that I wrote on and a pin that I pulled off the wall like they were gold incarnate and I’d handed her a million dollars.
firstly, that’s a little girl that likes carsland. Not a little boy who likes lightning, a girl who was just as thrilled to see lightning mcqueen as all the other boys. Secondly, that’s why I do what I do. not for Annual passholders, not for people who want to make statements, for the future generations and the fact that a girl was that excited about a car just shows that we’re doing something right. Take that with you.
