Pixar animators "we just wanted to make a movie about talking cars"

The real question... why do they have door handles

Holy cow this came out before cars 3 did… AND CARS 3 SOMEHOW CAME OUT ALMOST 6 YEARS AGO? HOW 6 YEARS AGO?

I saw that “one monster truck movie that no one bothered to watch” it’s actually pretty genuinely good

Pixar animators: let's make a movie where cars are like humans. It will be fun. Filim theorists: they are INSECTS

If u ever feel unwanted, remember there were taxis in CARS

Unrelated: How does he always nail these intros? Weather it's game, film, or food theory, weather it's old or new, it absolutely slaps

It's hard thinking this movie came out 5 years ago, time flies.

Lightning McQueen: *breathes* Mat: WRITE THAT DOWN

What I wish he would've mentioned is the fact that they have sushi.. where is this fish meat coming from?? Do they have tiny fish cars and eat those? That opens up a whole other debate about car cannabilism

Can't say for sure how this would fit in but a Pixar/Disney series that came out after Cars3 called "Cars on the Road" (can see it on Disney+), in one episode Lightning & Mater visit a museum with car dinosaurs & they mention quite a few prehistoric creatures. Would love to hear how that would fit into this theory lol

One problem I have with this is the fact that in the Planes movie, which takes place in the same universe of cars, they actually are made of mechanical parts (I know I’m late, but better late than never)

Pixar: just making a harmless kids movie Mat pat: they are not cars, they are insects, they have organs

So, would they need car insurance, or life insurance? Stop replying.

I'm watching this again years later and still upset that MatPat never followed up on his promise to do his own version of the Pixar timeline. Cause I would have loved to see where he went with this

FACTS: The cars can have kids The cars can die(do the construction ones bury them or something??) THESE CARS CAN GROW UP

If you ever feel useless, remember there are SIDEWALKS in CARS

Pixar: Lets make a movie about talking cars. Us: Theyre insects

The Volkswagen beetle beetles are the funniest yet most reoccurring pun and they used it the best yet

Thank you for everything matpat. I'm gonna miss these videos you were in. Especially the pixar theories

Guys, The bugs in the Bug movie aren't actually bugs... They're cars!!!!

Just a small question, in cars 2, the cars go inside planes and trains, with a normal interior, but they're still alive, how does that work?

Mat pat i gonna miss you in 48 hours and you had a great journey and thanks you for carrying my childhood with my brothers and the theorys

6:48 that monster truck movie used to be my favorite movie when I was a kid… I personally think it’s a great movie

if there were no animals in the Cars universe, where the heck did they get them sushis at?????

I think the real question here is, does Lighting McQueen have life insurance or car insurance?

Matpat: they are evolved insects/beings Me: What about the Magnet boat in cars 2?

Their heart is the engine

Kid: How are babies born? Mother: You'll know when you're older Kid: So how are cars made? Mother: It's complicated...

Next theory should be why the Lamp always targets the “I”

What about Bessie the road paver? She's an automobile (or whatever) like the rest, but apparently not sentient.

So, on the topic of your timeline discrepancy, allow me to propose a solution: BnL, as suggested by the Pixar Theory, was an AI capable of surreptitiously taking over the world, re-designing machines to counter _extremely powerful_ organic individuals, _and_ can both manipulate humanity into leaving Earth _and_ give them the means by which they do so, designing extremely advanced and _self-sufficient_ starships. It is also suggested that animals, and possibly inanimate objects like the Toys, eventually rose up against humanity. What if... BnL was _behind_ that uprising? The very reason BnL needed to give humans a way off the planet - to leave it free _for the machines_ - was a war orchestrated by BnL itself. And the choice of supersoldier? The bridge between two otherwise unconnected factions with a shared enemy? _The Cars species._ A type of genetically-engineered super-insect created with the idea of internal machinery in mind. They need food for their organics, they need lubricants for their cybernetics, but in exchange? Beetles with heavy metal armor plates, able to storm human fortifications and sustain heavy small-arms fire without danger. Tiny bio-machines capable of independent, _quiet_ flight for use as espionage or assassination operatives. The greatest warriors for this war, and the perfect liaison between two factions whose relations... would otherwise be _critically_ strained because the very pollution animal-kind fights against is being done _by these machines._ And once humanity is driven off? The Cars no longer need the animals to win the war. They drive _them_ out, possibly under the subconscious/instinctive direction of the BnL AI, with their pollution and their superior battle capabilities. But eventually, the resources to sustain their population run out. They wither, and they die before all animal-kind can be annihilated, with small pockets of non-insect (for fear of the Cars) animal life hidden across the world. Maybe a small few of these Cars survive, devolving as they must back into more simple beetle forms _like the Cockroach we see in Wall-E._ But those beetles, they _still_ have the engineered genetics that gave rise to the Cars. So, when organic life is restored to primacy on Earth by Wall-E planting the tree, those insects still have the enhanced genetics necessary for their increased longevity and heightened intelligence to be able to create and use machinery. Those latent and only _rarely_ active genes start to reawaken over the generations as their machinery becomes more and more advanced, until - as proposed by the Pixar Theory - they evolve into the Monsters and discover the power of time travel through wood.

Pixar: makes a movie for kids Film theory: i am 4 parallel universes ahead of you

My life is a lie first I thought watermelon was a melon but it's actually a berry and now cars are not cars

What throws this off is the fact that they're manufactured, so the AI theory makes sense

I don't think the creators thought of that, they were just making a great movie.

Take a -shot- sip of water every time he says "cars" because you need to stay hydrated my friend.

Nobody: The Film Theorists: Cars aren't cars

Fun fact=I grew up with Film Theory in my childhood.

Matpat missed 1 thing at 50:59 there's a car that has no windows and you can see the steering wheel

Matpat: are the cars in Cars, really cars? Me: *brain has left the chat*

of course they aren't cars, PFFFT. they're Transformers.

I've watched this at least 25 times since it came out, the science the lore the narration mann I'm going to miss you pat :,((

I am amazed that matpat managed to predict what cars 3 is about. by comparing it to rocky somehow. 1:44 "And if this series follows the trojectory of the rocky series, the third installment would be about our heroes fight back up to the top." And then in the actual Cars 3, there are upgraded cars who are faster than lightning mcqueen. So he has to train and FIGHT BACK UP TO THE TOP. Kinda

Cars in cars aren’t cars Some of them are trains, planes and even boats

So.... Does Lightning McQueen have car insurance or health insurance??

I always thought they were like a cyborg, if their engine didn't work they'd be alive, but they'd also not be able to move, and if they died their engine might still be capable of running.

the only thing that bothers me about the whole "inside the doors is a brain" thing is that one car in Paris in Cars 2 that has an actual windshield.

This doesn't ruin my childhood, this explains it

Is everyone forgetting Mack telling Lightning in Cars 1 "Thank The Manufacturer you're alive"

In Cars On The Road, Mater actually opens his own door.

I bet everyone says this but I think your videos are very high quality and the time and editing it must take is so amazing so fun to watch. But was woundering how long does a video usualy take for you to make

*Next Theory:* "Film Theory: The Lions in Lion King AREN'T LIONS!"

Cars 3 opening: McQueen is all alone in the woods and his phone is dead. Out of the corner of his eye he spots him. Shia Lebus

In cars2 they expose the villain by looking under his hood, so in conclusion the villain is recognized by his organs

Wait, this all *sorta* makes sense, but how about the scene with axlerod, when matter opens his hood and you see the engine? What's up with that????

Wait does Lightning McQueen have car insurance or life insurance 🤔

Pixar: *exists* Matpat: "hold my diet coke"

Matpat: and if we are lucky we will get a fourth one Me: I guess that luck didn’t work out

Bro said he won't ruin our childhoods but did 💀

So cars in cars aren't cars

*Next Theory* Phineas's Head Is Actually Rectangular But Due To High CO2 And O2 Pressure We Saw It As Triangular

But what about Rod Redline, he died because his engine exploded because too much oil was forced into the combustion chamber, caused because the engine block stopped working

There's a scene in the first movie when McQueen first hits the road, during the legendary 'Life is a Highway'. You can see the BIRDS on the power line.

Matpat: Are the cars in cars, really cars? Me: Before was was was, was was is

Pixar waching this :we Just wanted to make a movie about Talking cars

Everybody says Marvel did the Cinematic Universe first. Godzilla Cinematic Universe, 1954-1975, 1984-1995, 1999-2005, 2014-

I remember seeing some fan fics that humans are inside with tubes conected to them

I have a really weird question.... How do the cars reproduce?

Pixar: *makes movie about living/talking cars* Matpat: No

Interestingly, there is a movie where cuttlefish from space became like cars to hunt people 😏

I didn’t expect the spy thriller plot, but that doesn’t make it less perfect

Disney: makes animation about Cars who behave and talk like humans to be appealing to kids Matpat: *they’re Insect aliens*

Nobody: Absolute nobody: Jk Rowling: Cars are actually bisexual

I would love to see a theory about a full Pixar connected timeline

that can’t be possible because in one of the toy story movies the green caterpillar guy from bugs life shows up near the toys as they’re about to cross the road at least i think that make sense

Pixar: Lets make a movie about cars The Film Theorists: They are not Cars

Umm... Matpat ... Are you off your meds again?

I got to the bit where MatPat said something about car exoskeletons with squishy organic interiors and went “MatPat, no. Choo Choo Charles is not allowed anywhere off of Game Theory.”

5 years later and I’m still waiting for the mega theory matpat. Please make it happen :)

what's next? "The toys in Toy Story aren't actually toys"

Here's something: Humans: *disappear* Cars: Fine, I'll do it myself.

u scared the heck out of me with that jump scare(WHY????)

This is my first matpat theory I ever watched and it is crazy how I watched a film theory for my first theory and not a game theory.

Does Lighting McQueen get car insurance or life insurance?

orange

Hey I think you overlooked some information in Cars 2 the way they catch the bad guy is by looking at his motor and saying that he has the wrong air filter or some thing like that and it shows videos of the car with the hood open and the engine and everything else

also notice how the logo of Cars has a triangle at the bottom and two sharp points at the top almost like an ant head and two antennae of a bug it was already giving us the clues.

So if I'm understanding you, these cars are bug and steel type Pokemon?

Well of course the cars in Cars aren't cars Some of them are trucks

Even if these theories aren’t intended these channels are a good source to build and form ideas from

Don't forget the fainting goats which are of course the terracottas that fall on their backs

Me realizing I just spent 13 minutes of my life listening to a guy try and convince me that a bunch of cartoon characters are actually alive...

If animals don't exist in their world, then how the hell do they make sushi? O.o

About the respirator, even if the cars don’t breathe, you still need the oxygen in the air to run their engines

Normal cars ‘breathe’ air as well so that does not work as an argument that they are organic creatures

Next up on Film theory: THOMAS THE TANK ENGINE IS NOT A TRAIN!!

Where does the sushi from Cars come from if there are no fish?

MatPat: Cars are not cars because of my long explanation! Me: Cars are not cars because they have mouths.
