My gosh.. when my nephew was just 3-4 yrs old. We’ve basically watched Cars nonstop almost 24/7. Got to a point that he’ll ask us to play it again as soon as Cars is over. We almost memorized every line because of it.. 😂 we did love watching it though haha.
As a little kid born in 2007, Cars was the first movie I ever had an obsession with. Seeing 3 on the big screen ten years later was a huge nostalgia trip.
Oh' it's just for little boys. Little girls can love talking cars just as much. I know from personal experience because we watched Cars so much when I was young. I was always fascinated by speedy vehicles as a kid.
1) super interesting comparison. 2) I know you didn’t discover this, but I’m willing to bet you’re the first to cover it in that level of detail and with video clips to back it up in this format. 3) I really respect that you explained the elements that do NOT match at the end. Shows a healthy objectivity, and RU-vid incentivizes polarization and strong black&white statements so much that seeing someone point out the gray is pretty refreshing.
I hate how some people say that cars is the odd one out in Pixar’s golden age. There is no way anyone can POSSIBLY convince me that a bug’s life is better than cars.
@@minecrafter3448 I Mean all those Movies honestly had some real life meaning. Like how in the Bug's life movie, it basically talks about the Matrix. Or how in Cars, it focuses more on friendships. I think Cars tried to have a story relatable to kids whereas bugs life is more relatable to the Adult world.
They wont listen. They never do. They never will. The towel section is a desolate forsaken wasteland long forgotten by the brothers. They havent read a single comment since like 2014.
I've been saying this since Cars came out, and nobody believes me. I was starting to think that I'd dreamed up Doc Hollywood, because nobody else seemed to remember it. Thank you for doing this!
_Cars_ was the first film I ever watched in a cinema. I also remember being a little kid, and getting in trouble with my mum for watching the opening race with the TV volume turned all the way up, because I loved the music and sound design.
You actually brought up something that I have noticed about Hollywood, instead of different ideas they have a good movie then keep repeating over and over. So isn't upset about the closeness of them and just appreciate the fun
I’ve been saying this for years!! I saw cars first growing up, but when I saw doc Hollywood I thought this too. Also, the first secret life of pets is basically the same story as the first Toy Story
When I was little I always just thought this was like a kiddie-fied version of a preexisting sports/racefilm. Never had a real reason to believe this because i never watched any grown up/sportsmovies. But it just gave that vibr, even then. This kinda validates little-me.
Going off the title haven't watched the video yet but yes Disney is known for "borrowing" ideas for their animation my evidence a Japanese anime kimba the White Lion there are others but that's my favorite
I’ve heard about this claim before from other creators, but I never realized just how close these two movies are in terms of plot structure. So with this in mind, yeah I can understand why many people don’t like the original Cars movie. But that still doesn’t change the fact that I love the movie for personal reasons. Besides, Doc Hollywood’s story in it of itself isn’t unique. There are lots of other stories before and after it that have the same general premise and plot.
Do cats have souls or do they think they have souls saying may doc have Marcy on your soul and does Sally have a memories of being a lost soul. The one who was an attorney in AL living life in fast lane but never felt happy
I mean, it's not like this was anything new for Pixar. Bugs Life was basically just Magnificat 7 but with bugs, which was just 7 Samurai but with cowboys.
Honestly, every Pixar movie steals some previous ideas but does there own unique thing with it very well which is what makes the movies great. With that being said, I wouldn’t go as far as calling other Pixar movies ripoffs (other than maybe A Bug’s Life), but this one does seem to be a ripoff of Doc Hollywood. Ripoff or not though, this was my favorite childhood film and I still love it to this day.
Yeah, this should be common knowledge for older folks (40s plus). Doc Hollywood was pretty popular and is an excellent movie. Cars has the same story. It really bothered me at first, but I've gotten used to it and can now enjoy both movies.
I was 4 years old when Doc Hollywood came out. I heard of the movie, but never saw it or knew much about it. This is the first I've heard of it being so similar to Cars.
Okay but what about The Little Mermaid 3 being Footloose? Is there a story beats that can go under the system radar? Are there loopholes we aren’t aware of?
Fun fact about Doc Hollywood, a lot of the buildings from the movie still stand and can see remnants of it, like the markings of the auto shop. It's in Micanopy, Fl
Before watching the video, I'll say Cars doesn't have much original in it. The basic plot is pretty much what you see in movies like Doc Hollywood, Sweet Home Alabama, etc. Even the 80's movie, Take This Job And Shove It did this. As for the anthropomorphizing of vehicles, that's not new either. I remember an old short where a taxi cab has a son that wants to be a hot rod. However, reusing concepts is older than Hollywood and doesn't constitute a ripoff.
I thought this was about the show or movie that came out before cars with talking cars and stuff. This comparison is more like hamlet and the lion king.
a bug's life was the first film about Intelligent anophamorohic insects. Inside out wasn't the first about characters with a character. Finding Nemo was first about intelligent anophamorohic fish Ratatouille wasn't the first about anophamorohic rodents. Monsters inc was first about monsters coming to life . The incredibles wasn't first about lives of super heroes. Was toys story the first about living toys
Yeah but even then talking cars wasn't exactly a new idea, there was previously Knight Rider, and eh Herbie would sorta count and Suzie the Little Blue Couple and One Cabbies Son among other old cartoon shorts.
1:20 My childhood is screaming at me. Cars was definitely not the first to do it or be popular doing. Sure Care may have been more popular but just to name a couple as a kid my favorites were franchises like Thomas the Tank Engine, or Bob the Builder.
Tex Avery's 1952 cartoon short One Cab's Family about a car that wants to be a race car is more of a heist from Pixar than even Doc Hollywood. The designs of the cars are very similar.
5 things I want to say about this video. 1: The 2 movies you are talking about are the same they are different. 2: Disney Cars movie is not the same as "Doc Hollywood" because Disney Cars has a different story. 3: Disney Cars is not a ripoff and I watched it when I was 5 years old and I watched all 3 and they were amazing through the years. 4: The information is all wrong and had nothing to do with Disney Cars. 5: LEAVE THE DISNEY CARS FRANCHISE ALONE!!!!!!!!! Apparently this video has false information and the internet has false information about it too so do not listen to all of the articles about it and do not watch this video because this video has misinformation. If you do it again I will report you. Its not real. It is clickbait and fake.
Now I gotta watch Cars for the 500th time and watch Doc Hollywood for the 1st time. 😂😂 Also, at one point both Cars and Doc Hollywood have a correlation with another movie. When you were talking about the “old Docs” of both towns, you could throw Back to The Future in there too because of Doc Brown. Not only another correlation from Cars and Doc Hollywood, but a correlation connecting two Michael J. Fox films. Might be kind of a reach but, oh well. 🤷♂️
This video was too long. Halfway through it, I got hungry so I left it playing and went to the kitchen to fix myself a sandwich. But then I found out that I'm out of mayonnaise so I went to a store. There, I saw the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my whole life. But I'm a really shy person so I took up a three-year personality development course so I could introduce myself. She was very friendly and all, but unfortunately, she had a boyfriend. So I said, all good, I'm a mature person. I wanted the best for her and I harbored no illusion that I am the best person for her and she seemed happy with her boyfriend, so I didn't bother her anymore. But we kept in touch and we became friends and I got over my crush on her. Then she broke up with her boyfriend, we drank some alcohol because of it. I told her she'll be fine and I wished her well. I still think she's the most beautiful woman in the world, but like I said, I am over my crush on her. It was like five years already since I first saw her. Besides, I am quite happy with the friendship I developed with her. It was more important than a crush. So we kept hanging out, drinking, having coffee, and all. I had a girlfriend, she started dating other guys. My girlfriend wanted to live some other life without me in it, so I said, "Okay, I want the best for you and I want you to pursue your happiness." My lady friend and I drank alcohol about it, and she gave me the same advice I gave her when she was in that position and I became okay with the breakup immediately. But we were really drunk, so she spent the night in my apartment. I only have one bed, so you know what that means: She took the bed and I slept on the couch. But on the couch, I really can't sleep. Something was bothering me. So I tossed and turned for about three hours, then I finally couldn''t take it anymore, I stood up and went straight to my room where she's sleeping. I approached the bed, gently sat on it and I reached for her shoulder to pull her closer to me. She stirred and woke up. She asked what's up. I told her, "you know, the first time I saw you, I was watching a video and left it playing to get myself a sandwich then went to the store to get some mayo then I got so distracted by life that I forgot to finish the video." She said, "You know what, I've been wondering about a weird noise in your night drawer." So we opened that drawer, and lo and behold, there's my phone and this video still has two minutes of play time on it.
I mean, they also ripped off the whole talking vehicle and look thing from the likes of Theodore tug boat and Jay Jay jet plane, which were riffs off Thomas the tank engine.
I luv ya, SCB, but a lot us figured this out in 2005. Great video, though. Sums it up pretty well. Although I have to take issue with calling Cars 2 an original story. It is an amalgam of the Accidental Spy storyline found a dozen times over in Hollywood. But yeah, I would say that that was probably the main reason so many people didn't like Cars 2: it's story is in a completely different genre than the first movie.
You know what also could be actually a ripoff? The Killer Bean movie. It's similar to Madness Combat, series made my Krinkels, and that came in 2002, Killer Bean in 2008...
I was a kid when i watched doc hollywood, it had just came out in movie stores, but then, as a kid, I watched friday the 13th, nightmare on elm street, etc - different world back then, you have to remember that robocop, an R rated movie, was considered a 'kid movie' in the 80's, and us kids LOVED IT until robocop 3 - which wasn't R rated :(
oh god please don't let this turn into a kimba/lion king deal (look up YMS's 2 hour long breakdown about why those two movies are different). Joking (somewhat) aside, not surprising that there is a movie x that Cars is similar to. I seem to recall thinking when i watched Cars that there were several movies with similar plots (the whole city boy gets forced into a small town but eventually falls in love with the rural simplicity). In fact i seem to recall there is one that matches Cars a bit more to the letter (like the MC is legit kept in prison in a small town but keeps trying to escape during community service).
It's also Rocky III, Thor, Happy Gilmore, American History X, Seven Days in Utopia all based on ancient exile redemption stories like the 12 labours of Heracles
I Got to say that u are REACHING SOOOOO FAR with this one. Very few things are similar, and there are only some coincidental similarities and only if u try hard to see them. And it is funny how so many comments say either "i knew it" or "wow u are right" even when it is clear that you try hard to make comparisons, to make ur theory stick together. I am sure there are many movies u can compare to cars and say "yeaah i guess they are similar"
Thomas The Tank Engine is most definitely more influential than the Cars franchise, bringing millions together whilst cars only brought thousands. Cars is an excellent series of films and television shorts ard programmes, Thomas The Tank Engine is leagues above it.
So what you’re saying is we need a bad sequel to Doc Hollywood featuring a side character spy plot and a pretty good second sequel with MJF as the old crotchety mentor type?
i dont like the third movie and the 2nd is my favorite. i prefer my lightning mcqueen at the top of his game still very successful than to be an old "slow" car
I’m usually all about these sort of videos but this seems a bit of a stretch. There are plenty of similarities but calling cars a rip off is too far. However I’m also pretty biased because cars has always been one of my favorite movies
Yup, as indicated this was a common observation at the time. It was quite clearly the inspiration they borrowed from quite heavily, streamlining away a few extraneous characters and making it little-kid-friendly.
I hope this is a Kimba The White Lion deal where people incorrectly label something as a ripoff only for it to be completely disproven years later. That being said after watching this videos the two movies have big similarities and it can't be a coincidence with so many similarities so I feel like I need to accept Cars is a ripoff I still love that movie though.
