Oh my! I am looking forward to that! I love your stuff <3

What?

That would be awesome!
I would love a franchize about sentient, living machines coexisting with humans, maybe not just cars, but other vehicles and machines as well (like planes or computers!).

This could have been so good. But the closest we ever got to the dynamic of living machines understanding their connections between them and the humans who built them is TBLT and TTTE.

Cars could have been SO MUCH BETTER if they did what this essay said. The story of cars is alright, but did it REALLY need to be living cars? It just doesn't work when you look at it, you could have made McQueen a human and the story would make more sense.

My dad actually told me that Car's story was basically stolen from an older movie staring Michael J Fox. h

I guess the only real hurdle a studio would have is that cars are so huge and usually out in the open, so if they have to move about in secret when 'alive' it'd be hard for them to do so and have much agency in the film to do anything. Though I guess that's part of the guy's point.. they don't get to do what they want.

I actually had a plot in my head for a movie once. Loosely it was about a guy that works at a used car lot that mistreats the cars there including his own especially, an over the counter asshole. One of the cars in the lot studies occult magic though (lol I had the idea it was some 40s era Mercedes imported from Germany, and the reason he knows occult magic is because he was a Nazi SS officers car when he was new. lol) this particular car is actually the final villain in the film but has kinda justifiable reasons for what he wants to do, having suffered abuse at the hands of humans he plots to do some gigantic spell that will turn all humans into cars and cars into humans (imagine that lol). But when he finally tires of the guy at the lot he decides to test the spell on him alone. So he casts it but nothing happens, figures it didn't work.

So later the guy gets in his car, a little 60s era blue beetle all dented up and old, and he drives off for home. On the way home though going through the woods the beetle breaks down. The guy gets pissed off of course, you know beats the dash gets out and kicks it's tire and storms off to walk the rest of the way. But on the way through some thorn bushes he pricks himself, when he goes to inspect his finger he notices his blood is black, it's oil! This kicks off the transformation scene, should make the transformation people happy. ;) and he turns into a car.

Now as a car he can see the other cars around him as alive and talk to them. Of course he goes back to his Beetle and this is when he realizes she's a girl car and what he did upset her enough that she's crying. From here it's pretty loose with details, I imagine it'd follow pretty traditional plot stuff. He cheers her up, he wants to get somewhere to get turned back so she suggests they go back to the dealership because the occult car is there.. not realizing he was the one that did it ect ect? Maybe he hides the fact that he's her owner from her for awhile and it's one of those liar revealed plotlines. Ect.

Anyway I found this appliance short awhile back you'd probably enjoy if you need your human and machines fix: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7k2MkVYLDE

Interesting..... I'd watch this if it was a movie or story

Aw thanks Tesla.

BTW.. I think I've said this before but your avatar makes me think of Tom Petty in the runnin' down a dream music video lol.

You are welcome.

Hmmm I don't think so, but thanks! Thought twas based off of Take on Me by Aha XD

"A world where cats and humans co exist" XDD *Ankha zone music starts to play*

Not really, I don't think it would really work very well as a comic and/or dunno if I could put in the kind of work that a comic like that would take lol.

Never thought of that. It would be far better with humans coexisting, exactly!

Right!

Thanks for sharing these thought-provoking YouTube videos. I also watched the short animation, "Runaway". These videos really give me more inspiration for my story, Race Within.

I hope your day is going well.
