After 5 years of waiting from the last Cars film, and 2 years since this TV show was announced, we get just 5 minute episodes. After that are the credits, so it's not 10 minutes.
The story of each episode is odd. Scary-packed characters that has NO connection to the world that was introduced in the first Cars movie. What we saw before was beautiful area of Radiator Springs country - now it's all ruined. Like every new character's behavior was crazy. Odd.
If you're doing something like this, make a proper, long-term TV show, not shorts again. Stay true to the world that you introduced in the first movie. We fell in love with Radiator Springs and the world around it. Now, it's all almost ruined.
At least, episode 9 was decent. Characters and story.

Cars on the Road is an okay enough miniseries, but I was rather underwhelmed too. Not only are the episodes surprisingly short, but I feel like they don't utilise their fullest potential (The Legend and B-Movie both come close though). The first two episodes are mostly dream sequences and one episode is mostly just about trucks singing. It's 6-minutes, so I didn't mind it too much, but it's probably the most pointless episode of the show.
I thought this miniseries would've been more to be honest. I feel like you can just edit all the episodes together as a movie, which is funny because the entire show overall is 74-minutes in length.
Overall, it's okay, but nothing groundbreaking.

Its aight, a decent show. I recently rewatched all 3 movies including the mater tales. And ive know about the existence of these for a long long while. Just came to know of this show. Was very shocked to know and i was like "just quit reivivng stuff, dude". Idk if this show had any success, havent read a review till now but just saw ratings. Idk why they would bother with producing. Was the return on investment good? Like i just dont get why.
Sorry i aint nitpicking, i dont hate it either, was just confused on why would this be made.
Ps: WTF the cars and vehicles in this franchise have doors?ππ(dw this isnt a spoiler, matter of fact people might even fail to have this as a food for thought. But ye there was a scene with a door)

I was expecting that the episodes should be at least 20-30mins each. But only 6-7 mins episodes after 5 years of waiting. That was the only thing i didn't like.
But apart from this. The story was awesome. The animation was awesome. The cameo of Cruz in the last episode was a great idea. Lightning and Mater most lovable characters. Short but to-the-point episodes. It could be longer. But next, we are expecting a full-length movie with a good story.
I wish I could join Disney Pixar's Animation Team. The best animation production house. I wish I can join any of them Pixar, Illumination, or Dreamworks.

Fans of the cars series, me especially, have been waiting quite a while for new cars content to be released (other than shorts). Now with Cars: on the Road being released, I will say its a refreshing and great addition to the Cars content.
The story of the show was very enjoyable and had me laughing at some moments while also creating feelings of nostalgia and looking back to times now passed. The animation feels exactly like the first Cars movies. The overall quality of the design and characters is superb. Every episode explored a different idea allowing extended world building of the Cars franchise. I also felt that the show was very similar to Maters Tall Tales which I have a place in my heart for since I watched it when I was younger.
My only complaint would be the length of the episodes. It would've been better to make the episodes 20-30 minutes long to further explore and world build.
Overall a great show for the family and Cars fans alike (with a lot of pop culture references too).

- TriviaUnlike previous shows, such as Mater's Tall Tales (2008) and Tales from Radiator Springs (2013) (excluding Bugged (2013) and The Radiator Springs 500Β½ (2014)), this series marks the first time Owen Wilson voiced Lightning McQueen outside of the movies since basically the theme park Lightning McQueen's Racing Academy (2019).
- GoofsAt the end of the 3rd Cars movie, Lightning McQueen was wearing Doc's old paint job. But in this TV series, he was wearing his original paint job at the beginning of the series premiere, Dino Park.
