    That's How You Make History

    In the second of the two MATER'S TALL TALES produced by Pixar -- the others came from Disney animation -- Mater gains the ability to travel in time and goes back to make sure that Radiator Springs is founded and prospers.

    One of the pleasures of Pixar's productions is that they usually settle on something that amuses them as fans of animation and movies. Here, it's done by reproducing the look of old movies in the earlier eras. While the furthest-back jaunt is in black-and-white and sepia, by the third time, it's in color; but it's not the color we expect in movies these days, but made to look like an early version of Technicolor that fans of old movies know as "two-strip Technicolor."
