Deep thoughts
I probably shouldn't be thinking too deeply about a movie largely intended for children, but there have been some existential questions that have been bugging me ever since I saw Cars 2 this weekend. I'll lay in bed at night, just on the verge of sleep, and suddenly wonder...why are there sidewalks in the Cars cities? They show fields of wheat with the tractors in it but what use would a car have for wheat?
In the movie one of the cars has a mother...where do baby cars come from? Is there some sort of weird car sex or do they just build their offspring? One of the cars dies between the two movies. Does that mean he just couldn't be fixed anymore? Would you bury a car or harvest him for parts in a junkyard somewhere?
Are the cars biological beings or just cars that became sentient? If they're biological, what sort of evolutionary purpose do seats serve? But they specifically talk about them being built and between what years certain engines were built in the sequel, so I guess they didn't just evolve. Plus they don't SEEM to be organic in any way.
So then did the cars gain sentience and pull a Skynet and massacre the human race?
Religion is established in the sequel though...they specifically show a car pope. I suppose that also means there's a car Jesus but how would one crucify a car?
The sequel also establishes a kind of "big oil is BAD!" but I imagine the impending fuel crisis must be even worse for the cars because without that they're just sorta dead.
