Director John Lasseter positioned "Cars 2" as the most humanized film in Pixar's history, because the story itself represents a real experience of Lasseter. Is there any boy who has never been fascinated by mechanical things? Especially cars. The relationship between Lasseter and this is even deeper. As the son of a dealer of Chevrolet cars, Lasseter almost spent his entire childhood with car models in his father's office. And his first formal job when he was 16 was a part-time job in his father’s car factory. To quote Lasseter’s description of himself: "The blood in my veins belongs to my animation business; and in my arteries , The flowing place is gasoline-when they finally converge in my heart, the passion that can be generated represents the limit of my life."
Lasseter decided to make an animated feature film about cars in 1998. The reason was that he watched a documentary about interstate highways at the time. The content roughly tells what the highway has to the next town. The imperceptible influence. When Lasseter was moved by this documentary, a story inspiration quickly formed. He kept imagining how those small towns located next to the highway should be born. However, although this idea often floated in his mind, it was still unable to form a specific shape. It was put on hold until 2001, until Lasseter made a road trip with his family under the persuasion of his wife. Lasseter described that trip as a turning point in his life: "Because of work matters, I always do nothing, and consume almost all of my life and enthusiasm in the studio, instead of ignoring my children. One day, my wife said to me: You have missed your child’s graduation ceremony-that will be a pity in your life. It turns out that she was right. At that time, the contradiction between my child and my child became more and more serious. Either we don’t meet, or we quarrel as soon as we meet. I thought that this trip would also be spent in quarrels, but the fact is not the case. Not only did the children and I get close to each other a lot, we also realized the most cherished things in life. What is it."
As a result, the protagonist "Lightning" McQueen came into being. The personality characteristics are very similar to Lasseter. They are all running wildly on the road of their careers. Other than that, they are indifferent to everything. They have long forgotten to slow down sometimes. , Can help you better understand life.
