The protagonist is the mighty Lightning McQueen, a racing car novice and selfish view that the goal is not always get there first. Across the country to the big Piston Cup Championship in California to compete against two seasoned pros, McQueen gets lost in the legendary Route 66 and appears on the lost town of Radiator Springs. There she meets the unique characters that inhabit it, including Sally (a snazzy Porsche 2002), Doc Hudson (a 1951 Hudson Hornet with a mysterious past), and Mater (a rusty but trusty tow truck). All these will help you understand that there are more important things than trophies, fame and sponsorship.
"CARS" was a story John Lasseter's very personal. Raised in Los Angeles and he loved to visit the Chevrolet dealership. His father worked in the department of management, and got a part-time work in the shop reponedor as he turned 16. Lasseter says, "I've always loved cars. On the one hand I have Disney blood and other motor oil. And the idea of \u200b\u200bcombining these two passions of my life, cars and entertainment, was irresistible. When Joe (Ranft) and I started talking about this film in 1998, we knew we wanted to make a tape in the car they were characters.
At that period saw a documentary called 'Divided Highways' which spoke of the interstate and how it affects small towns is undergoing. We are very shocked and started thinking about what happened in those small cities that fell into oblivion. It was then when I really started to document on Route 66. But we did not know how it would be the story of the film. I used to travel that highway as a child and visited the family in St. Louis. "
was at that moment when Nancy Lasseter's wife, persuaded him to take a much needed vacation. Was in the summer of 2001. Lasseter recalls: "Nancy told me that unless the pace of work slowed and began to spend time with family, one day I get up and my kids have gone to college. And he was right! "
whole family packed up and embarked on a caravan, and launched into a two-month trip whose purpose was to ride the interstates from the Pacific to the Atlantic. "Everybody thought we would spend the holidays fighting over," says Lasseter. "But the opposite happened. When I travel, I felt much closer to my family and I realized what was really important in life. And suddenly I realized that I already knew what was going to talk about the film.
discovered that life's journey is the reward. It's great to be successful, but when you get that when you want your family and your friends are with you to celebrate. Joe liked the idea and our story started from there. The main feature of Lightning McQueen, leading our car is that it is the fastest. The only thing that matters is winning the championship. It was the perfect character who is forced to slow down, just as happened to me in the caravan trip I made with my family. It was the first time down the pace in my career and it was fantastic. What sets Pixar films is that the stories come from the heart of its creators. Arise from things that are very personal and we are thrilled. That's what makes the emotional depth to our films. "
In 2001, Lasseter, Ranft, producer Darla Anderson, production designers Bob Pauley and Bill Cone, along with other key members of the production team flew to Oklahoma City and entered a nine-day trip Route 66, a caravan of four white Cadillac. The historian and author Michael Wallis led the expedition, and made them find people and very special places that make this highway.
made at each stop along the way, the team saw firsthand the "patina" of cities and tried to capture the richness of textures and colors. Particularly interested them painted ads on the sides of buildings, which had accused the passage of time and the many layers. Detailed studies were carried out on clouds and rock formations and the variety of vegetation that lined the road.
Wallis added: "All the roads have a style that is based to where they lead. Reflect the land they cross. The appearance of the Route 66 runs from the color of the earth licorice Illinois, passing through the land of Lincoln, to the sands of the Mojave Desert. Landscape is one hundred percent American. "
"In our travel documentation, visit the cafes and small shops, and motels. We speak to hitchhikers, waitresses and mechanics. We met lots of interesting characters during the journey. If you are an old wolf of the road, and you know the old highway, you'll love, because the movie will remind you of places and people that you met the Mother Road. "
In the Texas Panhandle region, west of Amarillo, is a very special place called Cadillac Ranch, where an eccentric Texan commissioned three artists known as "Ant Farm" to create a work of art on his ranch. A row of Cadillacs buried monument to the rise and fall of that car-fin, and Pixar wanted to pay homage to that place in 'CARS'. "
