RIP Paul Newman, the voice of Doc Hudson

As a NASCAR fan for most of my life, I cannot tell you how HYPED the opening to this movie makes me feel. The classic sights, sounds, camera angles, fans, etc. THEY EVEN BROUGHT IN THE ACTUAL NASCAR BOOTH ANNOUNCERS! They made a real love letter to racing here and I can't get enough of it.

My son was 2.5 years old when the Disney Channel started promoting the Cars trailer. Every single time they showed it, my son would beg me to see it. He didn’t understand time and I would try to tell him that it was 4 months away. He would look at me and ask, how many days is that? 🙄 So finally the day came for the opening of Cars! We went that day- and nine times more in the theaters. Then came the DVD. We wore that DVD out and had to buy another one. My son is 19 now and that’s still his favorite movie!

Pixar has never disappointed us with its casting

The actor who did the voice of Mack, John Ratzenburger, had provided a voice in just about every Pixar feature film at this point. They made light of that during the closing credits, when they showed clips of "car" versions of Pixar films at the Radiator Springs drive-in movie. After the last one, Mack said, "Hey wait a minute! All they're doing is using the same actor. What kind of a cut rate production is this?" Nice that Ratzenburger is able to laugh at himself.

The 'Life is a Highway' montage is genuinely one of the most beautiful and best warm-feeling animated montages in all film

This was the last ever movie for Paul Newman (Doc Hudson). He died of cancer in 2008. Paul Newman has done a lot of great movies. Two examples include THE STING and BUTCH CASSIDY AND THE SUNDANCE KID, both directed by George Roy Hill and starring Newman and Robert Redford (Alexander Pierce in the MCU). Fun fact: William Goldman (the novelist and screenwriter for THE PRINCESS BRIDE) won the Best Original Screenplay Oscar for BUTCH CASSIDY.

This is a special movie for me maybe THE movie of my childhood. I did my drivers exam last November, I thaught I blew it at one point. Then halfway in the radio played "life is a highway" out of nowhere, it relaxed me reminding me of this movie and my childhood regrabbed my focus and passed first try.

Lots of emotional movies never made me tear up, but this cartoon did. When he stops right before the finish line, then back ups to get the King and push him to the finish gets me every time.

Here in Germany the dubbing voice for Lightning McQueen in "Cars" is Daniel Brühl and the dubbing voice for "The King" is Niki Lauda (R.I.P.).

Fun fact: the director was inspired by his childhood field trips. Also he took everybody on a field trip on route 66 to catch the feel of the current state of route 66.

I'm a gearhead, a racefan , and I love to drive. In addition to the typical Pixar awesomeness, it made massive nods to US car culture. One of the really amazing things with this movie is the number of real people that are legendary in the car and racing community. Strip Weathers was voiced by 7 time NASCAR champion driver Richard Petty, known to his many fans as The King. His wife, Lynda voiced, well, his wife. Mario Andretti, another racing legend, did a voice cameo as himself, Junior, was voiced by Dale Earnhardt Jr., the son of another NASCAR legend and a driver himself. The Ferrari at the end was voiced by 7 time Formula One champion Michael Shumacher. Paul Newman, in addition to being a renowned actor was also an accomplished racing driver. The two Rust-eze owners were voiced by Tom and Ray Magliozzi. They were a couple of brothers known for their radio talk show Car Talk which aired on NPR between 1977 and 2012. The show discussed car repair, and their on air personas were Click and Clack, the Tappet Brothers. This movie is a total geekout for motor buffs! So in other words, yeah I really love this movie!

Guido and his ‘pit stop’ is absolutely my favorite bit in this all around great movie. (I love seeing Lola featured.)

"It's the singer, not the song." When people are genuinly passionate in their craft, it shows. This movie can be enjoyed by young and old, much because of its makers.

Not sure why, but I really feel for that little town when you see the busy world just pass it by. That song really makes that part of the story hit ya hard. This is a GREAT movie.

Pixar went throught A LOT of care in the production of this movie. A real love letter for racing. References to real life racing, history of Nascar racing, real life racers as voice actors, etc etc.

The story of Radiator Springs is mirrored in real life by the towns along the real Route 66. There was a mini-documentary in the DVD extras about how the Pixar crew visited various towns along 66 and met with people in the towns and heard their stories about the decline of their communities after the American Insterstate bypassed them. It was really sad.

One great thing about Pixar is that they are willing to cast non-actors if the voice is right. Case in point, Lassiter hired Michael Walace for his expertise on Route 66 (the primary animators and directors were taken on a road trip by Wallis). They liked his voice so much they created the character of the Sheriff, and he provided the voice. The King was played by Richard Petty - and if anyone was the King of NASCAR racing, he was it!

The car number 43 nicknamed " The King" is a tribute to Richard Petty ( known as "the King" ) who drove a blue "SuperBird" looking exactly like this one with 43 on the side. The other car with the 3 on the side and the thick mustache goes to Dale Earnhardt ( big dark mustache) known for playing a little dirty with his "accidental " bumping in his racing.

The Ferrari in the end was dubbed by Michael Schumacher, who won 5 F1 Championships with Ferrari. By the way, Cars is easily one of my favorite animated movies, mainly due to the reasons you stated.

The fact that Mary's so emotionally invested like this like it's real is so damn adorable.

One of my all time favorite movies. When I got it on DVD for my 10th birthday, I would watch it over and over.

A lot of people go into cars trying to understand how this universe works, but if you just accept what it is and enjoy the story it’s a nice movie to watch 😂

I traveled on Route 66 in the Summer of 2021. There was a man who decided to revive the route. Help front money to restore a bunch of sites along the way. They even have a stamp book you can buy to get the famous locations along the route marker and stamped. I saw so many painted murals along the way of “Cars” on the side of buildings as part of the thank you to this homage they made in this film. Sadly, it’s still not very busy. I went through long stretches where we didn’t pass a car. It’s the coolest car ride in America honestly. It makes you feel as if you’re back in the 1950s or 1960s… I even saw an old malt shop (shut down) where they had an old Betty Boop waitress statue inside. You could walk around. It half albums on the wall and old fashioned cars parked outside. It made me wonder what that shop was like back in the 1960s… probably booming with customers, listening to Elvis, drinking malts, shiny cars… I even went to the town Seligman, Arizona. (That’s the town Radiator Springs is based on). Thanks for watching this film, it brought back so many nostalgia memories for me. :)

I love how Mary was listing McQueen’s crimes as he was crashing lol😂

In 2015, I went to a town, on my way to LA California, which was one of the inspirations to radiator Springs. They have a few cars made up to look like the cars in the movie. It was so good to see.

The part about the Hudson Hornet is very much based in real NASCAR history down to the racing decals. The real Hornet's were the NASCAR champions from 1951 to 1954, but the reason they stopped racing was different. Sadly Hudson had to merge with another company to survive, the racing program was scrapped and a few years later the Hudson brand was dissolved.

Fitting the day this video is here to the public since it is the day the movie released in theaters in 2006.

As a racing fan as a Aussie kid I LOVED this movie when it came out, I thought it was some corny kids film until my little half brother became obsessed with it. The Ferrari at the end is Michael Schumacher who was my childhood hero and I got to meet him once. They say don't meet your heros but he was such a cool guy and stopped to chat. I told him I was doing a bit of karting and he grilled me about it and wished me the best and told me to stick to it. Nothing came from it but I'll never forget that 5 minutes which he didn't need to spend talking to me.

This was my son's favorite movie from birth till like age 4 or 5. I've literally seen it probably over 1000 times lol. The first time I saw it, like halfway through, I remember thinking that I wished my son would settle down so I could focus on the movie 😂

One could say that forcing mack to stay awake was the best decision he could've made

I love this movie, glad you finally got around to reacting to it. Great memories for me with my boys who are now teens!

The king is based on NASCAR goat Richard Petty. The wreck scene in his final race could be homage too Dale Earnhardt. Earnhardt died in a fatal crash of the final lap at Daytona 500. The big numbers in a cup are the amount of laps, when it comes to loop racing. The technique Doc taught lightning is called counter steering. He essentially taught him the basics of drifting lol. Great movie and am glad you enjoyed it.

NASCAR is a huge inspiration for this movie. Richard Petty and Darrell Waltrip are just a few of the drivers that some of the characters are based off of. In the next couple of Cars movies we get even more, like Jeff Gordon and Chase Elliott.

You may not be familiar with Larry the Cable Guy. He's a stand-up comic, who plays the part of a dim-bulb yokel. He voices Mater, and both characters are very similar.

My son watched this every damn day and it always got me in the feels. My son is 16 now and doesn't even remember this movie but I still know every line lol.

Pixar could do no wrong 1995 - 2010. Toys, fish, cars, grumpy old men, superheroes, rats, robots, it didn't matter - they knew how to prioritize a compelling story even while pushing CGI to new levels of sophistication. The creative output from Pixar was, as Steve Jobs might put it, insanely great. Trivia - Paul Newman as Doc Hudson was a great fit - not just a great actor but a professional race car driver and team owner from age 47 to age 72(!) and is in the SCCA Hall of Fame.

This is a beautiful film. Love the Richard Petty Superbird (Mr. The King) and Mario Andretti classic stock car. Pixar is the All-Time Champion.

I’m convinced Mary could watch a movie about sentient food and she would still cry

It brightened my day when you cried. Even made me tear up and I’ve seen this movie tons of times. (7 kids)

I remember when I went to Disneyland exploring this whole replica attraction of radiator spring, and the detail was just beautiful. In someway Cars made me feel like a kid again.

Tractor tipping is referenced from cow tipping. Sometimes cows will fall asleep still standing up in fields so many find it funny to just knock them over while they’re still asleep.

Opening racetrack is based on Bristol Motor Speedway. This Movie was my daughter's favorite movie. Love all 3 Cars movies

Recently she's been reacting to some of my favorites movies growing up. I hope she reacts to Sin City or Scott Pilgrim vs the World.

FUN FACT the Ferrari in the end IS Micheal Schumacher (7 time F1 champion)

It would have been really easy for you to dismiss this movie. Your good vibes and positivity in checking out new things is a great reminder to do the same. As a car guy, it was fun to see you appreciate this one!

“Have you played Mario Kart? It’s hard!” Me, who yesterday fell off the side of the road at least twice during the same race:😅

I've rewatched this video alot it's been helping me through some dark times thank you for the joy you bring to this world Mary!

The voice of the truck transporting Lightning McQueen to California was done by John Ratzenburger, Pixar's lucky charm. Ratzenburger had done voices in every Pixar movie so far, and Pixar didn't want to ruin the streak of hit films.

one of Disney's top 3 movies, one of the best family movies ever made in my opinion.

I am 52 and I love this movie. I enjoyed your reaction very much.

Great reaction, and great movie. My son was 3 when this came out, and he became obsessed with the movie, so by extension, so did I. I knew all of the songs because we would play the soundtrack in the car for him, and it just brings back such good memories of that time. He's 19 now, and still likes the movie...and so do I.

Have you seen the short film called Mater and the Ghostlight? It takes place right after this movie, and it remains one of my favorite Pixar shorts to this day.

McQueen is someone who, as we say here, believes his own press.

I was so happy to see you enjoy this. Thank you for sharing yourself with us.

This is one of my favorite movies ever. Not just cartoons, MOVIES movies. I truly love it even now at the age of 36 i'd pop it on the TV and watch it with the same interest my 5-yo niece does.

I love this movie lol. I like how one of the themes of this movie is about taking time to slow down and enjoying life when you can instead of rushing through life like so many people do. I also love road trips. I like "Larry the cable guy" voicing "Matter". Larry is a funny guy. The type of car that they used a the flying bugs are known here in the U.S. as Volkswagen bugs. They've had that name long before this movie ever came out. lol

I have great memories of this. My son and I watched this movie like everyday when he was small. He loved lightning mcqueen.

the voice of the Ferrari in Luigi`s store is actually Michael Schumacher.

this movie was my whole childhood i watched it 8 years ago with my dad

This is one of my favorite Disney/Pixar movies ever. My mom actually took me to go see this movie in theaters back in 2006.

Doc Hollywood is the same story with live action, starring Michael J Fox.

there is a 'Cars' ride at Disneyland too - really fun!

I always loved how they give love to actual drivers, mario andretti, Richard petty (The King) , doc, and cant forget the legend Michael Schumacher

Mator literally makes theses movies he's THE BEST character it's all thanks to Larry the Cable Guy

Most of the cars you see are actually based off real ppl and cars. Like the Fabulous Hudson Hornet was real and was a real race car that did the things Doc did like the crash and wins. It was the beginning of NASCAR. Plus at the end the car that said "thanks King you were always an inspiration to me" and the king says, "Thanks Junior" that car is Dale Earnhart Junior. I love this movie so much so much as a spin southern man that grew up with Dale Jr and his father. This movie has always meant alot to me I'm glad you enjoyed it ❤

A lot of people seem to hate on Cars for some reason, but for me It's up there as one of my favorite Pixar movies. (and that's saying something when they've got amazing films like Up, Wall-E and the Toy Stories) It's just so charming and has so much heart to it. It looks absolutely stunning (that scene where they're all driving through town at night and all the lights are reflecting off their paint in particular is incredible), its got some great humour in it, a great cast and I love some of the cameos, like Mario Andretti, Micheal Schumacher Ferrari and Jeremy Clarkson. You can really tell the people who made it truly had a love for cars, racing, and Route 66

I love this movie, it literally raised me as a kid, the score, the soundtrack, the badass moments, the wholesome moments. Just makes you feel good. I watched this whole thing, it was awesome seeing someone else react to it for the first time. You reacted super good, paid real attention to all the little details that I didn’t even notice on the first few watches. Loved it

I´m so glad you could enjoy the film as I did when I was a kid. Those tears make me respect you.

The REAL Bristol Motor Speedway and Martinsville Speedway races in NASCAR are 500 laps. Those two tracks are only about half a mile though. They also had several NASCAR drivers and legends provide voice-overs in this movie.

A couple of adult jokes in this movie, the twins at the beginning flashing McQueen and that truck stop is called the "top down". Never noticed that as a kid 🤣🤣🤣

I liked your reaction about McQueen pushing King to finish his last race.❤❤

As someone who lives in the southwest USA and have traveled roads that look very much like the roads in this movie (bother interstate and rural Route 66 roads through small towns), this movie captures that feeling quite well. Back when the big highways were built, they really did kill off a lot of small towns, sadly. Some are still there, but very much a shadow of what they once were. Mary if you ever get a chance to travel to the US, put it on your bucket list to drive through the Southwest. There are some spectacular parts of the country!

Im from Albuquerque NM and the route 66 runs through my State, and this movie honestly really hits me because the small towns I know and took for granted when i was young... Are now very much like Radiator Springs. Towns bypassed to save time driving for the big Highways. But the small towns have people and families who have been around since BEFORE New Mexico was even a State, even longer before when the US was a proper country! So much history that i love is reflected in this movie, and how quick industrialization can be a bad thing in the name of the "greater good".

Childhood classic, makes me cry almost every time.

There is so much you can unpack here. First yes real racing is very difficult and to an extent Doc is right you go hard enough in a corner you find your self turning the other way though its slower... As said this was Paul Newmans last role and very fitting as he was a very accomplished racecar driver himself racing sports cars for many years. And co owner of Newman Haas indycar too.

Thanks for this, I needed a movie like this today 🥰

LOVED your reaction, Mary!

"He did what in his cup" cracks me up every time

Thanks for the video. I enjoyed it.

2:40 Oh my, that is the second time I found someone realizing that. The movie is called CARS for a reason😂

The terrain around Radiator Springs is patterned after the red sandstone cliffs between Thoreau and Gallup, New Mexico when you travel along Interstate Highway #40.

I like Sally's explanation of what happen to Radiator Springs. Unfortunately, with the build of the interstate highway system, things like what happened to Radiator Springs really has happened to so many small towns across the U.S. I also love to just go out for a drive every so often and not have a destination but just go out and see where the road takes you. I love what Sally said "Cars didn't drive to make great time, they drove to have a great time". The "Old Route 66" road is also known at the "Mother Road" because it was the first cross country road that was ever built here in the U.S. (back before the Interstate highway system) that linked the Eastern U.S. to the Western U.S. the Road started in Chicago, Illinois and Ended in Los Angeles, California

This was the very first film I saw in cinemas back in 2006 when I was just 5 and I love it It's a top tier Pixar film for me and is one of the few films I can quote almost the entirety of from memory lol

It was essentially Doc Hollywood in animated form. BUT, it was still Ana amazing movie and I loved it from day 1. Part 2 wasn’t anywhere near as good, but Cars 3 is also an incredible movie. Another great reaction Mary. 👍

Love the rection and you cherry girl❤❤

There were many towns like Radiator Springs which turned into ghost towns when the freeways came through. The major reason for them was national security. If equipment or personnel needed to travel cross country in a national emergency they needed to make it in as quick a time as possible. In 1919 President Eisenhower (while he was a brevet lieutenant colonel was part of a miliary exercise called the Motor Transport Convoy. It took 62 days to travel 3200 miles (5100 km).

The success of this film owes itself to so many resources. From the amazing work of PIXAR, to the simple story allowing real character building, and a history of NASCAR to build from to make many Easter egg references. At the end when The King is wrecked, that scene was copied from the real one Richard Petty experienced and is my favorite nod to the source material. I bought and sent a copy of this to my Step-Dad on Father's Day shortly after released: He is a fan and brought me up to speed on the sport, and it's many points of history so I could better understand what I was looking at beyond 'roundy-round'. He very much enjoyed it.

You should definitely carry on with the rest of the franchise Cars 2 & and Cars 3 Loved this!

Best Pixar movies ❤

i used to watch this cartoon when i was little, i love it❤️

Keep an eye open in the first race for the #84 car, it has an Apple Inc. logo on the hood, a subtle nod to Steve Jobs and Apple Computer (Jobs was one of the co-founders) and the release date of the Macintosh (1984)

5:38 NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL A TUNG TIE !!!

Love all the disney Pixar reactions!! They are all so good 😊👍 keep it up

McQueen’s dreamin about racing for Dinoco Mary* ‘oh he wants to be blue now?’ XD

I don't know how this ended up in my recommendations, but it's the best thing I've seen in ages

this movie was my childhood, I love this franchise and everything about it. Love to see new people experience it for the first time

Seeing lightning again hits different.

one of my favorite childhood movies of all time this one is permanently sealed in my mind
