    Really good comeback

    I loved this show, it was so funny. I loved Ivy so much. I think I will try to get a figure of her !

    Hope they will do another seasons. We really discover more about the world of Cars !

    I was so scared that I would be too short but it was okay honestly !

    I was happy to see more about the new racer of the 3rd film, would be nice if there's a movie about her.

    It really reminded me for the type of shows I was watching as a kid. I hope some kids saw it and loved it !

    It's just sad it was released the same day than everything, I hope nobody will miss it !

    So yeah, for every fan of the movies, go watch this show. It was so nice.

    Your typical childrens show

    The show itself is fine, it's a neat bunch of short episodes with different kinds of fun themes and messages.

    However, what bothers me is the lack of creativity in this show as a whole. So little of the world of, well, sentient living cars is utilized. The characters are living cars, and the only episode which utilizes that in a way some other show featuring living objects is the Salt Fever. Pretty much with every other storyline they have come up with, the characters could be replaced with anything other than cars, and it would function in the exact same way.

    The themes in the episodes are also pretty played out, when talking about kids programs, haunted house, clowns, some horrible monster that turns out to be good?

    What I was, and still am looking for from this show is the level of fun and interesting themes as seen with the Cars Toons. All the crazy stories, wacky characters and funny plots. This show compared to that is just real life. It's mondaine, it's boring, you can always guess what comes next, all in all it's the regular life, and what kid want's to watch regular boring life next to a ton of wacky stories revolving around Monster car wrestle, Mater becoming a drift king or a Astronaut, or any of the other great ideas they poured into that show.

    TLDR: It's a mediocre kids show, nothing new, great animation and a few good episodes and moment's here and there, but nothing to be remembered when comparing to the excellent Cars Toons.

    Enjoyable Must Watch

    I was expecting that the episodes should be at least 20-30mins each. But only 6-7 mins episodes after 5 years of waiting. That was the only thing i didn't like.

    But apart from this. The story was awesome. The animation was awesome. The cameo of Cruz in the last episode was a great idea. Lightning and Mater most lovable characters. Short but to-the-point episodes. It could be longer. But next, we are expecting a full-length movie with a good story.

    I wish I could join Disney Pixar's Animation Team. The best animation production house. I wish I can join any of them Pixar, Illumination, or Dreamworks.

    Enjoyable show but not as good as the movies

    I was sceptical of this show at first but was enjoyable but not as good as the movies there are 9 episodes and all of them are enjoyable in their own way. But some are weak like episode 6 is the weakest because not much happens. But the animation looks better than I thought, characters are nice and I like the new characters as well. But not every new character is great because some are not some are not developed well,and some episodes are boring and I don't care for them and some episodes are too chaotic to the point where they're not fun to watch. Overall it's just a nice fun adventure series with chaos fun and interesting characters overall if you're interested in it watch it.

    A heartfelt return to its roots

    Fans of the cars series, me especially, have been waiting quite a while for new cars content to be released (other than shorts). Now with Cars: on the Road being released, I will say its a refreshing and great addition to the Cars content.

    The story of the show was very enjoyable and had me laughing at some moments while also creating feelings of nostalgia and looking back to times now passed. The animation feels exactly like the first Cars movies. The overall quality of the design and characters is superb. Every episode explored a different idea allowing extended world building of the Cars franchise. I also felt that the show was very similar to Maters Tall Tales which I have a place in my heart for since I watched it when I was younger.

    My only complaint would be the length of the episodes. It would've been better to make the episodes 20-30 minutes long to further explore and world build.

    Overall a great show for the family and Cars fans alike (with a lot of pop culture references too).

    • Trivia
      Unlike previous shows, such as Mater's Tall Tales (2008) and Tales from Radiator Springs (2013) (excluding Bugged (2013) and The Radiator Springs 500½ (2014)), this series marks the first time Owen Wilson voiced Lightning McQueen outside of the movies since basically the theme park Lightning McQueen's Racing Academy (2019).
    • Goofs
      At the end of the 3rd Cars movie, Lightning McQueen was wearing Doc's old paint job. But in this TV series, he was wearing his original paint job at the beginning of the series premiere, Dino Park.
