Yeah I don't get what his deal was....I mean it's 100% OK not to like a movie, book, TV show, video game, fandom ect. and you don't even have to like the fans but there is a difference between "I personally did not like this series" and "THIS MOVIE SUCKS AND ALL OF ITS FANS ARE STUPID". He also went and trolled some pro-Cars stamps and when I asked him nicely "instead of bashing these people over something you don't like, why don't you go and focus on the things you enjoy?" he replied with "BWAAAAAAAAAAA!" Real mature  (Normally I don't waste my time posting on those anti-stamps but when I saw the cruel remarks he was saying about the fans I had to say something about it and, of course, he had to call me stupid too )

I've got a long list of fandoms I don't like as well, but I would never waste my time making and posting hate art about them, nor would I ever condone bashing the people who like them. Really, whether or not someone likes a certain type of media is their business, their opinion. It shouldn't have to matter to anyone else.

Exactly. What's also weird is that that guy is like 24 or something, and he's acting like a hormonal 12 year old when a bunch of Cars/Planes fans ask him to stop bullying them. Like, I don't have any interest in the film Bird Box whatsoever but if you're a fan of it, then good for you. People like him are the exact reason why I barely tell anyone outside of social media that I like these movies, because I'm scared that I'm either going to get bullied or even beaten to the ground for it.

And yeah I know the feeling. I'm often afraid to tell people in real life that I like Cars and Hetalia because I'm afraid they'll think I'm childish or incredibly messed up. It hasn't happened yet, but it does concern me sometimes.

I don't think any of the "Pixar purists" will ever know the true fear us World of Cars fans feel everyday because of people like him. I even remember when an 11 year old boy committed suicide because he got bullied for liking MLP, and I really don't want to get bullied so bad to a point I consider suicide just because I like a goddamn Disney franchise that's supposed to be watched by EVERYONE and not just by little boys. Smh.

The Pixar purists don't give a damn about what the World of Cars fans think or feel because they think we're lowly and inferior. Because, how dare we praise a franchise that "should never have been made in the first place and is the worst Pixar effort ever made and anyone who even likes this movie is an idiot with a baked potato for a brain". And we WOC fans have tried to be respectful to these "purists" and yet they treat us like complete and total dirt. The only thing worse than the purists is the anti-Pixar crowd, where EVERYONE is thrown under the "stupid" column. And if you're a fan of Cars or, god forbid, Cars 2, they would declare you banished to hell if they could. -_-

That's horrible and insane! No one should ever have to feel bad about liking a fandom and they DEFINITELY should never have to face bullying because of it, and yet it happens, especially online and it's alarming. It's not just Cars and MLP either, I've seen it in Frozen and some anime fandoms. It's come to the point where liking these franchises carries a stigma, and now people are afraid to admit they even liked these fandoms because of the backlash. It happens with people too; Admittedly since the allegations that came out in 2017/2018 against John Lasseter I've never been able to even say I *used* to be a Lasseter fan because of the backlash that comes when his name is mention. (No seriously I actually got hate mail on tumblr with people saying I was a woman hater and supported violence against them DESPITE the fact that I clearly said, in bold on one of my posts that I didn't condone what he did). I pretty much quit talking and writing about him since then. 


I'll never understand why people will make such a huge deal out of this stuff. But then again, as Sir Michael Caine quoted in one of his films, "Some men just want to watch the world burn."

I literally could not explain it any better than that. Although I'll never agree with what John did, I will always respect him for his hard work on making beautiful movies for everyone to enjoy. He even wrote in the introduction in the Art of Planes which my mum got me for Christmas last year, "Many people believe the Cars and Planes movies are for little boys, and that couldn't be more further from the truth." Disney and Pixar is for everyone, so why do people still bully others for liking Disney/Pixar movies by calling them childish when those movies are for everyone? It scares me as a 16 year old girl who is a fan of the World of Cars series, that I'm either going to seen as childish and messed up or going to be called a boy as an insult, which is fucking ridiculous. It's almost like the Disney/Pixar fandom is divided into classes, with the Pixar purists who liked Coco, The Incredibles, Brave, Monsters Inc and Toy Story are the upper class, then you get the normal Disney fans who like Tangled, Big Hero 6, Zootopia and Frozen who are the middle class, and then us WoC fans are in the lower class who are seen as trash and would probably get spat on by any other Disney/Pixar fan in real life if they ever told them they liked the WoC series. That isn't how it should be, because as I said, Disney is for everyone. There's no such thing as being "too young" or "boy and girl movies" because all of our interests are different. I can't even imagine what it must be like for all of the boys my age who still like Frozen and MLP, they must get terrored every day.

I agree. He was the backbone of Pixar for a long time and he pulled a lot of strings to keep that company going, like when he was trying to launch Toy Story 2 in time to meat the deadline even though the programme glitched and several weeks if not months worth of animation was lost and had to be redone. When someone asked him "How did you know you could make Toy Story?" he said "I never thought I couldn’t." And I will ALWAYS respect him for sticking up for Cars 2 when those bastard critics slammed him right and left and said he just "made it to sell merch" which was a total lie. This is why I was so heartbroken when I found out the allegations were true....I didn't want to believe that this man, the one who made all the movies I loved so dearly, had been doing this to women, people like you and I. What made it worse was that this was only a few months after the release of Cars 3 which had one of the first strong women characters in the Cars series. For me it was like "You just made a movie with a character meant to be an empowering role model to girls and women and I can see the passion you put into it, and yet all these years, you haven't been treating women well." To say that was shocking would be an understatement, and for months I was in complete denial of it, but the truth sets in eventually. 

I'm afraid that's true, as I've seen people in these "classes" online acting like they belong to an elite society and we WOC/MLP/Frozen people don't. :/

Exactly! These movies aren't just "for kids" or "for boys". They are for EVERYBODY. It doesn't matter if you're a boy or girl, or a child or adult, you should be allowed to love what you love without being judged. (And I know people who are WAY older than me and they like Cars and MLP, so as 16 and 19 year olds we shouldn't have to ever feel bad for what we like)

But I can understand the fear of being judged. Sometimes when people ask me what my favourite movie is, I'm scared to say it's the Cars movies because I worry they'll laugh at me or think I'm childish or even think I'm mentally retarded. I often get nervous when people ask me what kind of anime I like because I worry I'll be judged for "not being cool" if I say it's something that I don't like (I remember I was almost literally shaking when I confessed to someone I liked Hetalia because I was afraid they were going to think badly of me because the fandom is so full of extremists)

Yeah, it's scary. :/ But at the end of the day we are all people. It's just childish to hate someone solely because they like a movie that you despise. I don't even get why so many people hate Cars 2 so much, I would admit it's not the best Pixar movie but come on. I personally thought it was fun and exciting and different from the other WoC movies, I don't get why it was labelled as "horrendous and awful" like it wasn't even that bad??? The same goes for Planes, which I would admit was quite painfully average, but I still enjoyed watching it. My personal favourite out of the WoC series was the sequel, Planes 2: Fire & Rescue. I thought that was a gorgeous film with a great soundtrack, the best climax in the whole series, (in my opinion) fun new interesting characters and overall just a beautiful and heartfelt story that John Lasseter and Klay Hall made as a tribute for all of the firefighters that risk their lives for others. And even THAT movie got shat on by all of the critics. 
And yeah, when I found out about the allegations against John I was extremely disappointed, but I always learned to separate the art from the artist. He has made some fantastic creations out of inspiration and hard work and I will always respect that. I can also understand how he held Cars and Planes close to his heart as he and Klay always had a deep interest with vehicles and everything machine, so to get criticised for something your passionate about by thousands of people must be heartbreaking.

In all honestly I think the critics wanted an excuse to bash Pixar. I've noticed that critics (and even people in general) for some reason or another, love to thrive on negative criticism. Probably because it gives them a sense of power AND it grabs attention; it's all a game for them. Cars 2 veered away from the traditional Pixar elements and it featured a secondary character as the lead character that "everyone hated" and "was an idiot". But Cars 2 actually showed Mater's smarter, more "human" side and we ended up seeing a completely different character in the movie. He wasn't that "annoying idiot tow truck" who was solely made for comic relief; he was McQueen's best friend, he had a personality and he had issues of his own. Like he didn't know he was that "annoying idiot tow truck". Look at his face in Cars 2 when Finn calls him that. The entire time Mater never stopped to think that's how people saw him. But he also found out it was OK to be himself and that he still had a good side to him, even if he was different or weird. Just because you're different from everyone else doesn't mean you're a bad person and you shouldn't have to change just because everyone else wants you to; even if you're not the brightest bulb on the planet you can still be a good person and a good friend. And there will always be a handful of people who love you as you are, even if you have quirks. 

But that said I cannot understand why it got such backlash either; it was a fun film, it was exciting and it was intense and I know lots of adults who enjoyed it and I see people bashing it and I'm like "why?" Well the most common answer I see is "McQueen was not the star!" But McQueen was already developed at the end of the first film; it wouldn't make sense to make him the star of the second one, because it would just be a Cars repeat. And it makes sense to have Mater be the lead since he's McQueen's best friend. (Now some people argue Cars 3 should have been Cars 2 but there's one problem; Cars 3 is set over 10 years after the first movie; that's a huge gap. Cars 2 fills that gap and we see that McQueen's career is pretty steady. I feel that makes more sense than jumping ahead to the next millennium)

I never understood why the Planes films got it either. It wasn't as good as Cars but they weren't bad movies at all! Planes was pretty fun to watch. Admittedly it was rather predictable (it was kind of like a blend of Cars and Cars 2 but with planes) but I had a great time watching it. And I can agree that Planes 2 definitely outdid Planes, as it was much more "Pixar-level" in terms of storytelling and animation (did you know the crew actually visited national parks and studied how firefighting and smokejumping was done?). While I did feel the plot dragged at points, I could still tell they put more effort into this film and seeing what Dusty endured to save everyone was enough to make me burst at the seams with emotion. (it actually made me especially angry when people spat on the film, considering how they made it in honour of REAL firefighters who DIED saving people's lives)

And that is very true. Cars and Toy Story were very personal to Lasseter and Lasseter said he got the idea for Cars after taking a road trip with his family and explained how they became closer because of it. Imagine if you loved cars, came up with this story, loved the characters as if they were your own children and went through all this hard work and research to make the best presentation possible and then have people spit on your creation and call it stupid. And then you get excited about the prospect of blending James Bond and Cars, you and your crew are spending endless nights watching spy movies (and noting the car chase scenes), casting people and designing characters and settings and you're so hyped for the big day and BOOM! You get loads of people calling your stuff s* because it wasn't what they wanted AND it HAD to be a sequel to that one "god-awful film". I can't begin to imagine how heartbroken Lasseter must have felt when that happened. Because if I had made Cars 2 and got that response, I'd probably be up late at night in my room, trying not to cry and wondering why everyone hated it. (I even remember when people were practically screaming about Cars 3 being made, "as if Cars 2 wasn't bad enough" -_-)

And you're very right about separating the art from the artist. Goodness knows are there actors and singers out there who, while I love their performances, I don't respect because they are huge jerks in real life. Still when you love the art, it's hard not to love the artist. And JL never acted like the typical celebrity, which I loved so much about him and it's why I was hurt when the allegations were true.

Again, you just took all of the words out of my mouth. Especially what you said about Cars 2 at the beginning, and I actually loved having Mater as the lead role since it was different from the other films. What I don't like about Cars 3 is that it doesn't mention anything from the second film. They could of at least had Holly in a scene where she goes to see Mater or something, but it's like Cars 2 had no purpose. I personally thought Cars 3 was quite boring, although I liked the new characters, especially Jackson and Cruz. Cars 2 was definitely my favourite out of all of the World of Cars films just behind Planes 2.
It's almost like if we all lived in a society together, like a city or town, all of the "normal" Disney/Pixar fans and the Pixar Purists would be living in a privileged lifestyle while us WoC fans have to worry about our safety every day out of fear of being attacked or something, and we would be seen as low and inferior. 
As a storywriter myself it really scares me that all of my hard work could be spat on just like how Lasseter's did. I'm just as passionate at writing stories and animating as he is, and the thought that I could go through what he did is honestly terrifying.

AgentSandraCartrip In reply to ActeriaArts [2019-03-16 22:03:05 +0000 UTC]

Exactly! And we got to see him a more positive light and I'm glad because I'll admit when I saw Cars I wasn't a huge fan of Mater. I mean I liked him, I thought he was funny but I also thought "what an idiot". In Cars 2, I got to see that he wasn't that much of an idiot....yes he's definitely not the smartest car, but he's not a truly senseless idiot. He has a heart and he really does care about his friends, especially McQueen and he just wants to be loved. Everyone does. And when he does come to realise his own "idiocy" it upsets him because he realises how vulnerable he is. Like in that scene where Finn told him to go help McQueen and Mater replied "but I can't! I'm just a tow truck!" But most importantly, he went out there and literally risked his life to save his best friend. Sure, maybe anyone could technically do that. But remember, Mater essentially has the mind of a child; one can only imagine how that must feel when you're put in a position where you could very well die and you personally risk it because you realise your own best friend could die if you don't act. And anyone who spits on Cars 2 for that reason has obviously never been in that situation. Of course, I wouldn't ever wish it on anybody, but I bet if those critics had been in such a situation, they would have looked at the movie a whole lot differently. 

I actually thought that Cars 3 was pretty good, but I will admit the lack of Cars 2 references did bother me. Granted, it would have been hard to properly reference it, but they could have mentioned something about Mater and Holley still dating. (Like maybe Mater was trying to call Holley through the phone during the talk scene between he and McQueen). What really bothered me the most was when all the anti-Cars 2ists were like "LOOK THEY DIDN'T MENTION CARS 2" "EVEN PIXAR IS TRYING TO PRETEND IT DIDN'T EXIST" "CARS 2 WAS FAKE ALL ALONG!" I saw that crap all over the internet and it just about made me boil over. That said, I don't believe Pixar deliberately left out Cars 2 references because they "hated it" and "wanted to pretend it didn't exist." It's possible they may have done it so not to anger the viewers but I honestly believe if Pixar REALLY was ashamed of Cars 2 they would have pulled all their Cars 2 merch by now. (And BTW awhile back I saw a book that featured both Cars 2 and Cars 3 characters, so that really throws a monkey wrench into the haters' arguments)

And I'm afraid you may be right. These "Pixar Purists" act like they love Pixar and love the fans but the minute you say "I like Cars" they're like "WELL YOU'RE NOT ONE OF US!" And as I previously said, if you dare say "I like Cars 2" if they could send you to Hell, they would. (I really have to wonder how people can get so bent out of shape over something simple such a movie....)

I feel the same way. I know my watchers are supportive but every time I post a new story, artwork, video, ect. I always get nervous because you never know when some asshole is going to flame you. I've actually had a Cars 2 defence video in the works now for a couple of years, and I'm still nervous to post it because I'm worried about the flaming and trolling I'll likely get. Oh I'll do it one day, but I just don't know if I can handle the stress right now.

ActeriaArts In reply to AgentSandraCartrip [2019-03-17 09:31:37 +0000 UTC]

That's very true. I've sort of been in that situation before and it's scary as hell. If the critics looked at the movie from that viewpoint, the message would be is look out for your best friends no matter what. It doesn't matter if you're not overly bright or mature, you could still be the bestest friend anyone could have. I think that's what made me like the climax of the movie, because I've been in situations where I've had to help out a friend and god knows what they would be doing if I didn't... 
And yeah, I feel like if they could of at least put in the billboard saying "home of sir tow mater" in a scene in Cars 3 it would of given Cars 2 more purpose. Even if they did add any elements from Cars 2 or not in Cars 3, the viewers are never satisfied because they're either like "omg cars 2 was fake all along" or "wtf why are they still mentioning cars 2 that film was trash". 
What really makes my blood boil is how excited I was for Planes 3 to be released, I even had a dream a few nights ago where I watched the trailer for it and it made me so excited and gave me so many ideas for a new fanfic. Until I recently found out that DisneyToon Studios shut down and Planes 3 was cancelled. The other reasons for the film being cancelled was because the other two Planes films were hated so much, even though there are many fans who loved it and where DYING for another sequel. There was that many people that hated it. It's almost like us WoC fans have no voice and anything we say is mocked or ignored by the "higher" Disney/Pixar fans. It's ridiculous. 
And yeah I get the feeling. I'm actually doing a few sketches right now of two humans OCs and other drawings of my favourite WoC characters such as Dusty, Blade, Siddeley and Bravo. (and maybe a few other characters, we'll see) And it makes me anxious knowing the response I will get. I hate the thought that I could get trolled for it since I have my past of getting trolled a LOT on this site, or that the same Koboori Sapphire dickhead could see it and give me his 2 cents that I didn't ask for. Speaking of that twat, he just recently replied to my comment saying "real fucking mature" and sent me a link to a bunch of "boohoo cry baby" gifs. How immature and childish can a fully grown man be. 
But at the end of the day, after I post my work the responses I get are normally good, if there's ever anyone who pokes fun at my work I just choose to ignore them because I've learnt that it's not worth my time to argue with someone who probably isn't all there to begin with.

Exactly! Plus it busted the stereotype of real heroes being handsome, smart guys (which Mater is anything but).

And that's true, and I did sometimes wonder if Pixar may have done that NOT because they thought Cars 2 was bad (which is a lie that anti-Cars 2ists want to believe) but because they couldn't afford any more bad publicity and in that case, I don't blame them. Unfortunately Pixar got a lot of negative media attention after Cars 2, pretty much every movie made after that got panned and when people heard Cars 3 was coming out, they were extremely angry and there were even people who posting crap like "I hope Cars 3 gets cancelled." So it would be no wonder if Pixar didn't really reference it. 

I was very disappointed to hear about Planes 3's cancellation, especially since what little of the plot that got revealed seemed pretty interesting. 

  Honestly I think that guy's in for a tough life. Plus I really don't get him, because he posts a bunch of crybaby stuff and I'm like "you think someone is actually going to respect you?" I mean yeah so maybe there are millions of people who would agree with his statements but honestly, I don't think the average hater is going to respect him because they'll look at the stuff he says and think "wow, real mature." He might think he is succeeding in making us Cars fans look like a bunch of childish wankers, but in reality, all he is doing is making HIMSELF look like a wanker because he's going out of his way to CYBERBULLY people. (Oh yeah and he also cyberbullied my younger sister on this site, so naturally I told him to bugger off and he just called me an idiot and said that me and my sister had the same level of low intelligence. I almost died laughing )

I've never had any negative feedback about my Cars work thankfully since pretty much everyone in the Cars fandom is nice, though I did have this random guy get on my profile and say "you realise Cars is a ripoff of Doc Hollywood right?" And I was civil and explained that it wasn't but of course he tried to pick apart my argument and make me look like an idiot -_-

But in all honestly as of late, I've learnt to just ignore those people and not interact with them. If I see someone saying that crap I just block them and reconnect with other fans because I don't need that toxicity in my life. I'm only going to lecture them if they purposely come after me, lol.

I actually found Mater quite a likeable character even in the first movie. I don't get what was so bad about making him the lead role in Cars 2, since it was different and interesting. 
I also never heard of the plot for Planes 3 being revealed, but if you have seen it somew here can you show me? I'd love to read it.
And for that Koboori guy... well what can I say. I even saw a few of his "minions" harassing you, your sister and a bunch of other WoC fans and on other posts I've seen them make comments stating heavily strong opinions to a point it's extremely concerning. I even saw one comment by his supporters stating that Lady Gaga is a whore because she's a Madonna copycat. I was so disgusted...
I also don't get why Cars would be a rip off of Doc Hollywood, even if it is, it's a kids movie. Why would kids be watching "far superior" films like Doc Hollywood? 
And yeah, the best thing is to just ignore them. I've learnt it's not worth your precious time to argue with people who obviously have nothing else better to do other than just argue with others.

I think so many people are so wrapped around the idea of McQueen being the main character and thus it bothers them when he's not the main focus. But like I said before, Mater is his best friend/sidekick and we've already seen a lot of him, so it makes sense to make him a main character. We got to see how McQueen changed for the better in Cars, why can't we see the same thing with Mater? 

The summary is mentioned here:  worldofcarsdrivein.fandom.com/…There isn't much information on the actual plot of Planes 3 but they did mention a spin-off film called Space which would have been about planes or spacecraft (I don't know if that had any connection to Planes 3 or not). And we'll never know now that DisneyToons studios closed its doors for good. 

Yeah I saw some of that too, before I blocked him. Some people. It was horrible enough that he was beating up a fandom I liked but when I saw him harassing my sister like that and I told him to shove it, he basically called me stupid for standing up to her.  I don't think he knows what unconditional, familial love is. Or he just doesn't care   

Whoa! I'm not much of a Lady Gaga fan myself and even I find that comment disgusting. 

It's true the films have similar plots but that doesn't mean the later film was a ripoff. Plus Cars was actually based on a real experience Lasseter had with his family and some of the locals he met (and yes, those kinds of stories do have a bit of a common trope but Cars still stands out on its own). Plus what I find ironic is, while people remark about how similar Cars and Doc Hollywood are, I've seen other films that had plots similar to each other yet no one ever accused one of them of being a ripoff. Like I haven't seen anyone make comments on the similarities of the plots in The World's End and Hetalia: Paint It White. Yes they both had similar plots but neither one was a ripoff. Again I think this is just coming from biased people who didn't like Cars to begin with, much like with all the negative feedback with Cars 2. 

Exactly! Plus I find I usually forget about whatever happened once I reconnect with friends in the fandom, who are far better than those lowly haters will ever be.

That sounds interesting. It would of been good to see it been released, but hey ho. Let's just hope DisneyToon haven't completely shut down and then we might be able to see something like that in the near future lol.
And I agree with what you said about Mater, it does bring him into a new light besides the "idiot tow truck" he's usually portrayed as. 
And for that guy... sigh. If you see someone like him and try to knock common sense into them but then they just lash out back at you like he did, just leave them to their fate. Surely karma will bite him in the ass soon.
There's this song from Planes 2 that I absolutely love, I don't know if you've already heard it but it's a beautiful and underrated song from the movie and it's titled "Still I Fly", the movie and the soundtrack itself deserved so much more recognition than it got. It's awful how it got shat on for being a "bad movie" despite having a brilliant and inspiring message. The song used to make me cry the first time I heard it when I was younger and it always makes me think of all of the WoC fans that got bullied, beaten, taunted and even killed for simply just admitting that they like a movie series. Stuff like that shouldn't even be happening, but I regret to say that I wouldn't be surprised if it was happening right now as I type this comment.
And yes, there are many reasons why Cars and Doc Hollywood are different. There's a difference between two films being similar and a film being a complete rip-off of another. There's this hilarious rip-off of Cars called "A Car's Life" and everything about the movie is so laughibly bad it gives me more of an appreciation for John Lasseter's hard work. I can say the same thing about the movie "Sky Force" which is a rip-off of Planes, although I still kind of want to watch it since it did grab my interest, despite being quite a weak film. 
And yes, the World of Cars fanbase is actually one of the most unproblematic fan bases I've ever seen, speaking from experiences with other fandoms...

I think it will if it hasn't already :/

These days, I just avoid the haters. I only screw with them if they come to my profile or beat up on somebody else.

I have heard that song many times! It is beautifully done and I've listened to some of the hardest times of my life and it's so empowering. As a person who struggles with depression and anxiety on nearly a daily basis, I find music like that to be very therapeutic and that song alone gives me energy and inspiration (I know that sounds cheesy but it's true for me!)

I haven't heard of Sky Force but I know Lionsgate made this "ripoff" called Wings. It actually looks like a semi-decent film and the animation and graphics looked pretty good but the plot did seem rather odd. It sort of looked like a knock off but a high quality one if there is such a thing. XD

True! Aside from maybe one or two toxic people I've had no issues with anyone. It's a diverse fandom but if you don't like the ships/headcanons/whatever the other fans have no one is going to beat you up about it. And not only that, but fans care for one another, just like the RS residents do, and I've always appreciated that. It's like having one big family

Yeah, it is a really nice song and the whole rest of the soundtrack of the movie is beautiful. I hate how that movie got so much hate when I thought it was the best movie in the whole World of Cars series...

And true, the World of Cars is a very unproblematic fandom compared to other fandoms and everyone is really sweet to one another. As amberchrome said, the nicest people in the fandom is what makes it worthwile. I see a lot of people in the fandom drawing questionable things, but nothing too over the top and they're all quite nice people. I wouldn't bash them for what they like to draw anyway.
