But I&#8217;ve got some questions&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Before I get into my questions, I should do a brief recap and overview of the movies. The first and third movie focused more on the racing aspect more than anything. They were all about beating the competition and getting to the checkered flag first. The second movie involved spies, poisonous petrol, and required a high IQ to understand all of the components together.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"289\" height=\"216\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.msabrookhaven.org\/literary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/image-3.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20040\" style=\"width:665px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>These innocent smiles don&#8217;t fool me as I am curious as to what secrets are hiding under the hoods of these cars. In my notes app for over a year, I have had the questions &#8220;Is car insurance just life insurance for cars in the Cars Movie franchise?&#8221; &#8220;In their will, do they put their spare tire in their will?&#8221;. These are the questions I have that I want answered. Also, where are their engines if their mouths are in the front of the body of the car? And if in the first movie, why do they only eat\/drink gas and then in the second movie why does Mater eat pistachio ice cream (wasabi)?&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/th.bing.com\/th\/id\/OIP.eqWieUr6yDVxSMoeWE_INQHaEI?pid=ImgDet&amp;w=194&amp;h=108&amp;c=7\" alt=\"See related image detail. Radiator Springs Crew Gallery | Disney Cars\" style=\"width:713px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The questions I have for movies like this one are endless. How are the cars produced? Are they produced in factories? How are cars in this universe considered older than others? Why is Mater not getting older and weaker like the other cars?\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Under the Hood<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the second movie, we are shown under the hood of a &#8220;lemon&#8221; car. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"392\" height=\"220\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.msabrookhaven.org\/literary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/image-4.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20051\" style=\"width:680px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.msabrookhaven.org\/literary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/image-4.jpeg 392w, https:\/\/blog.msabrookhaven.org\/literary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/image-4-300x168.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 392px) 85vw, 392px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the bit that confuses me. Where are their mouths? If the oil they consume goes into their mouths, where is the tubing\/&#8221;esophagus&#8221; required to perform the action that they are appearing to be doing? Another thing that I have a question about would be what do they do with cars that can no longer function? How do they decide that? One day they can just no longer run? Could Doc one day no longer start his engine and drive out of his shop? Did they scrap his body for parts? Who are they? I have so many questions and no answers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How are the buildings in the Cars universe built? Who is cooking the food seen throughout the movies? What currency are the cars using? Who maintains the roads? Why didn\u2019t Radiator Springs already have a department for that if they were so busy before? Why do the cars have doors? Where are the engine noises for half of the movie? Why do the cars need a school bus (as seen in Cars 3)? Are there humans that are purposefully not shown to the viewers to keep the simplicity of the importance of racing? I believe there are humans who work to keep the cars running and created. Maybe this world is like the Toy Story of Cars. Don&#8217;t get me started on planes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Cars movies have been famous for the entirety of my childhood.
