Oh my poor little heart
This was such a sweet and heartfelt watch after watching the other two as this feels so much more mature and hits you right in the emotions. It knows its audience is grown up and it uses that to explore themes like legacies, traditions, preservation and the "human" connection. Admittedly, I did feel bad for McQueen, since he's getting older and can no longer be at the top of his game. It's hard for people to know when to quit, as to them it's giving up their life and they frantically try to keep hold of it. A good portion of this film is that.
The animation is fantastic, it's rich in colour, gorgeously designed and the attention to detail is incredible. The racing scenes are mini-masterpieces of editing as to be expected. Also, there are car crash scenes which boy, they did not need to go as detailed with them but I am so glad they did because those are some of the most interesting moments of the film. The cars, if they didn't have eyes in their windshield, I would have said were actual recordings of cars at times because of how well the animation looked.
This isn't all doom and gloom, it has a good handful of silly fun moments. Like a whole scene where it's basically a free-for-all wrestling match in the mud. It's such a hectic scene but it really broke up the moments between the heavy emotions. Or McQueen is forced to do a dance-styled workout, but he is just sitting there deadpan. Something I personally enjoyed as well was the amount of old man jokes that were made to him.
Every scene with hudson or hudsons friends is gold imo
