There’s a spelling error[edit]

“A VHS was released on February 19, 2007, to members of Disney's home video clubs.” The word “club” shouldn’t be pluralised. CleverFox2 (talk) 23:49, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I've taken the liberty of making the correction. For future reference, changes like these can be made without any discussion. :) milladrive (talk) 00:03, 26 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oh sorry about that, and thank you :’) CleverFox2 (talk) 00:07, 26 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Eyes on the windshield is humorously criticized by Jalopnik, not "heavily criticized"[edit]

The cited article by Jalopnik at the end of the paragraph "Unlike most anthropomorphic cars, the eyes of the cars in this film were placed on the windshield..." is written tongue-in-cheek, so it's misleading to write in this article "This decision was heavily criticized by automotive blog Jalopnik." Better would be "lightheartedly criticized" or omit the sentence about criticism entirely. Lee Choquette (talk) 19:56, 6 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Why there isn't humans[edit]

why aren't there humans in the film because cars https://uk.movies.yahoo.com/movies/cars-creative-director-chilling-theory-theres-no-humans-155155251.html Baratiiman (talk) 18:08, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

So the cars rose up against the humans and ate their flesh. MightyArms (talk) 00:39, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A problem with the wording on the opening sentence of the plot.[edit]

"In a world where vehicles take on anthropomorphic traits..." The phrase "take on" doesn't sound right, like it implies they acquire them later on. I think the something to the effect of "In a world where vehicles have anthropomorphic traits" would be more appropriate . Ehh123 (talk) 20:36, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. It should be reworded. LancedSoul (talk) 20:40, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The following paragraph is a run-on sentence:

Cars is set in a world populated entirely by anthropomorphic talking cars and other vehicles.
