Two of my grandchildren love all things automotive, and they like to look at and discuss my collection of 1960's die casts and visit the local sports car dealer to do some fantasy window shopping.
They are also big fans of the Pixars film series 'Cars' and often ask me to watch along with them.
However, I have a big problem with how the cars 'eyes' are located on the windscreen. This seems plain wrong to me as surely it should be the headlamps that need to be the eyes. Also, you never see any drivers or passengers. If humans dont exist in this fictional world then what is the purpose of the cars and trucks? Why do they have doors and trunks if there is no one to get in or out and put luggage in the back?
"Can you not keep going on about that Dad?" My daughter will say when I am sitting with my grandsons, "We've heard it so many times!" but I can't keep quiet about it. Fortunately my grandsons think it funny.
Anyone else?
I'm the same as you. I like when they make animals the characters not cars.
However I remember as a child I loved 'The Brave Little Toaster'
My funny one loves cars and machines --hadn't seen those car shows--and automatically assumed they had feelings, likes, dislikes, etc. anyway
Either that or he parrots what we say to him onto the special interest (vehicles, machines).// nobody pushed it onto him he automatically begged for these things or wailed for them and discarded other things
