The racers in this trailer have an incredible "killer bean" aura

It looks like tech demo footage that was animated in 2001 - prior to ray tracing VFX in Pixar’s RenderMan.

Buick actually used to be in NASCAR in the early 1980’s with notable drivers such as Bobby Allison and a young Dale Earnhardt.

8:16 Not only are the eyes different, but in the final movie they gave him a soft-top sunroof that is puffed up at the front to resemble some sort of hat, like a beret I think, or maybe a haircut?

one thing i find super interesting is that their windscreens and eyelids have a more distinct separation. in the final movie, most cars have a single eyebrow without the groove in the middle.

I had assumed it was test animation made sometime before Nemo as none of the sponsors reference that movie. They probably just used this footage as they didn't have enough final footage to use at the time. Then again, Pixar used to always use original animation for their teasers. And I imagine the thinking behind adding McQueen & Mater at the end watching it was to remind the audience who the main characters were. I saw this for the first time when I saw the Incredibles in theaters and wasnt sure what exactly to make of it. But when I saw Cars when it came out, I was hooked.

In the 2000s, 3D animation studios were already capable of producing breathtaking CGI's. If you watch many animated movies from the 2000s, most of the visuals still hold up very well and, in some cases, the visuals are literaly as good as those in animated films of the late 2010s and 2020s. There are of course some exceptions: if you take the first 2002 'Ice Age' movie and if you compare the CGI's with those of the sequels, you definitely see the improvements that followed but it's because 'Blue Sky' was getting its start and it's the same for 'Illumination' and the first 'Despicable Me': the sequels have much better CGIs than the original 2010. But still, extremely good CGI's were already a reality back in the 2000s. Here's another example: take Disney's 2000 'Dinosaur', the CGI's aged surprizingly well.

i mm so glad someone else recognizes it

I love these old Disney/Pixar teasers. Seeing the early concepts and purposely bare-bones animations is so cool! I wish there were more of these available. I have only managed to find one teaser for Cars (the one in this video) and Shrek respectively.

I remember this teaser quite well back in the day on The Incredibles DvD. I was also very big into Nascar so seeing this was mindblowning back then, I remember replaying it over and over again because it hit after note for me. Nostalgia 100

I remember being so interested in these models and this teaser trailer when I was younger.

I remember watching the show from 9:00 when I was a kid, but I could never remember the name. So, thanks for that.

I know you're a small youtuber, but this I found so much better then of the larger channels that do movie essays and trailer essays. I really enjoyed watching this thank you so much for it goodluck on your future.

0:26 the spoiler of that car reminds me of the 2000-2002 Pontiac gran prix spoiler they used in nascar.

Green Day and Pixar are two things I definitely didn’t expect to see together

You know, When I was a 6 or 7 years old, I always wanted a Corrosion Seal #57 In Die-cast model 1/55 scale along with NitroAde 13. My future is I wanted to make the 3D printed Cars diecast out of these guys in the teaser Trailer. But One problem is, I'm Way further down from making 3D stuff. And in December 2022 Through March 2023 I've made the decals, numbers and Sponsors to look like from the teaser as possible by double clicking the video and pay close attention to the cars and give it a guess and remember from the early Pixar movies

Agree'd, would be pretty cool if these proto-designs for the cars had a physical die-cast of sorts

I always loved the song that played, it was Westbound Sign by Green Day, and it fit so well

This was a surprisingly good video great job

I remember seeing this for the first time (presumably when I saw Mr. Incredible for the first time in cinema) in Japan. I was so excited, I googled "Cars" on the internet in Japanese, just to find out BMW's owners' group only at the time. When the movie came out, it did not disappoint at all, but I also remember I thought of how different it was from the trailer. Thanks for taking us to the memory lane!!

Are we sure Pixar didnt just design placeholder stock cars to not give too much away aka Mcqueen & Chick, I find it very odd that Pixar used such generic basic cars for the teaser so it might be possible these were just placeholders more than anything but that Luigi & Doc scene doesnt reinforce that, maybe Mcqueen may of actually been a stock car but I also heard Mcqueen was meant to be represented as a Corvette Z06 due to Pixar having a brand deal with Chevrolet

@suddysoap-barproductions4470

Ай бұрын

McQueen - as created - was meant to be a 2001 Monte Carlo stock car It’s so deeply rooted that Monty Carl was even his name at first lol Then Monty McQueen, in tribute to late animator Glenn McQueen - and finally Lightning McQueen The reasoning for the design change is somewhere in the Blu Ray’s director commentary: John Lasseter felt McQueen looked flat and simple So they gave his body a lot of contours and curves to give him a stronger visual identity But they didn’t want McQueen to look out of place - so they made the final variety of piston cup racers in his image The reason for recycling this old test I think comes down to this: Every prior Pixar teaser was a simple skit with two lead characters But they might’ve wanted a stronger hook than that The racing test doesn’t tell a story - but it’s interesting and full of action, and peaks your interest more than two random characters talking

@hyper5925

Ай бұрын

Yes. If you look to old test animations and interviews about the first movie and the origins, McQueen has the same design as seen in the race of this teaser. Generic stock car, red color, number 57. His design would not change until much later. This teaser is interesting, because it has both prototype and finalized Lightning McQueen. I would say that probably the race sequence was made way earlier as a test, and Pixar decided to reuse the vídeo to the teaser, where McQueen and Mater are watching it. Considering that Doc and Luigi were the first Radiator Springs citizens that were modeled, with no sign of Mater in the test animations, and the use of Luigi in the race, I can kinda confirm my theory about it. And no, McQueen never was intended to be a Corvette. He is an one of a kind Piston Cup race car.

Your channel randomly popped up on my feed. Great video! You gained a subscriber :)

The trailer debuted with The Incredibles in 2004. Theatrically, of course, so it may have been hard to find online before the DVD release.

I remember seeing the teaser trailer of Cars on one of my Disney/Pixar dvds, and the racecars on the tracks has been in the back of my memory for a while. So it was nice revisiting and analyzing the teaser trailer for good times.

i remember seeing the original teaser a lot and when i actually saw the movie i was like huuuh. i'm glad they changed it because it looks so much better but 6 year old me was so confused lol

It's insane how much the rendering tech has improved between this and the final movie. That and the character models and environments. Insane

how do you only have 400 subs??? phenomenal video

The Vitoline car is also has the toystory color scheme

As someone who also had the incredibles dvd I had totally forgotten about this trailer until now but it is something I now can recall

Great video bud, really interesting :)

Judging by the reflection on the Cars' logo, hood or trunk, it seems to be in a garage.

Also, racer 65's color palette was used in Wingo, in the final cut

Man I loved that trailer!

I remember the teaser trailer in the dvd menu of another film, crazy that it changed so much

This was an awesome video, I subscribed! Also I hope Pixar eventually get diecasts of the cars from this teaser trailer made, that would be cool.

Actually, Chick was meant to be a Monte Carlo/Buck Regal(Grand National).

"I know this wasn't really my best video" - becomes your most watched video lol

They look like they’re perpetually abuotukam

I perked up when you mentioned the sponsors “Ben and Audrey’s Frozen Bagels” and “Jackson’s Jumbo Pretzels”. They also appeared as boxes in Bug City from A Bug’s Life and are named after the animators’ children. Didn’t realize they were in this trailer too!

8:55 not to mention some of the ChoroQ/Penny Racers/Gadget Racers games, which have pretty much the same premise as Cars (talking cars in a world fit for them), but MUUUUUCH earlier, like 2002's Road Trip Adventure

This was a very interesting teaser trailer i remeber seeing it too.

I recognise that music used at the start of the video. Im pretty sure it’s from the first cars PC game. I played that game so much as a kid.

How do you find all these early animations of cars1?

I had no idea that there were prototype shorts of films. It's odd how different the shapes and textures actually look, giving them a distinction in shape was a good idea I think. This now makes me wonder if there are the same prototype versions of Monsters Inc, Lilo and Stitch, Finding Nemo or The Incredibles.

I completely forgot about this! Hidden memory unlocked

It would be interesting to see all of McQueen's designs to see how he went from that intial 57 car to the final 95

Very cool. These old movies really take me back. They have so much passion and time into them. New movies feel so cranked out and fake. God bless!

Oh man. This trailer! I loved Cars as a kid, so when i saw this trailer, I was confused why they looked grittier. I later made a guess that this was most likely an earlier idea for what they wanted the cars to look like, and it's fascinating. I don't think I'd like the movie as much as I do now if they kept those designs, but it's still neat.

I’m wondering if that nitroade green number 13 racer is the original design for chick hicks.

7:47 It's also interesting to note that you catch a slight glimpse at what could be an early Mater in the bottom left. At least it looks like it could be him, being a rusty truck with the same lights on the roof and rearview mirrors.

I always remember that teaser, I couldn't really understand a sh!t bc I didn't knew english at the time, but it makes me feel really nostalgic, even if I didn't had like "hype" for it (maybe bc I was born in March 2006 👁👁) good video bro

They missed an opportunity to have he 57 be lightnings dad he never knew about

it's actually kind of wild to me how drastic the change in character design is after a 2 year period, considering pixar movies average a 4 year development period

6:56 on early story boards of the king's crash chick was same stock car shape as prototype mcqueen

The more realistic car designs are interesting though

it's crazy how Lighting Mcqueen was supposed to be the Antagonist in Early Concept XDDD

This is serene and at time interesting that I explore that 2005 Cars trailer. 2005년 자동차 트레일러를 탐험하는 것은 조용하고 흥미롭습니다.

I really don't know why, but something about these teaser designs feels eerie to me, and yet oddly familiar despite them kinda looking different from any car in the final movie.

Another similarity between #57 and Mcqueen are the sponsors. Corrosion seal, as in to stop rust, which we all know Rust-Eze is for

I also find it interesting how Luigi doesn't have the black thing on his head (Idk what it's called) in this early footage.

One word " Nascar"

3:45 goated song choice

Remember that deleted scenes from cars 2006 McQueen appears his number to be 57

I never realized the music in this teaser was from Green Day! I love that album too! Surprised I didn’t notice!

@JTTE91 Fun fact : i’m guessing that the sponsors on the old and new McQueen are quite similar. (Corrosion seal: a liquid that removes rust). ( rusteez : a liquid to remove rust)

I kinda wish these early prototype characters got toys.

Something Pixar was always great at was attention to detail. When you are close enough to see the cars on track, you can tell where all the bumps are on the surface instead of just a simple shape.

Actually, Chick Hicks resembles a Buick Regal, not a Riviera. I see why someone could have gotten those names mixed up...
