yet some of you adults are doing exactly what this movie is trying to show kids not to do. It's rather ironic.

That's another thing I forgot to address. The moral of the story is basically that we should take life a little slower. One line in the movie pretty much outright says that when talking about Route 66, "Cars didn’t drive on it to make great time, but to have a great time."

This is a fricking movie about cars, the high-powered, engineering marvels that have completely changed our world over the last century, and instead of showing their high paced abilities, the movie pretty much tells us to slow down and enjoy life. That's a great message, but I could probably come up with a few plots that are more relevant to cars than this.

I will say, the concept of a racecar that's built to just go fast nonstop and compete realizing there's a lot of good to be had in slowing down and cruising, may actually be the strongest concept of the movie.

However, it would have been massively better if the cars were still semi-anthropomorphic with human drivers similar to how toys work in Toy Story. Making it a world of living cars and nothing but cars does lead to logical inconsistencies.

that is one of the morals of the story, which is more geared towards adults.
