There’s a spelling error

“A VHS was released on February 19, 2007, to members of Disney's home video clubs.” The word “club” shouldn’t be pluralised. CleverFox2 (talk) 23:49, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I've taken the liberty of making the correction. For future reference, changes like these can be made without any discussion. :) milladrive (talk) 00:03, 26 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oh sorry about that, and thank you :’) CleverFox2 (talk) 00:07, 26 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Why there isn't humans

why aren't there humans in the film because cars https://uk.movies.yahoo.com/movies/cars-creative-director-chilling-theory-theres-no-humans-155155251.html Baratiiman (talk) 18:08, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

So the cars rose up against the humans and ate their flesh. MightyArms (talk) 00:39, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A problem with the wording on the opening sentence of the plot.

"In a world where vehicles take on anthropomorphic traits..." The phrase "take on" doesn't sound right, like it implies they acquire them later on. I think the something to the effect of "In a world where vehicles have anthropomorphic traits" would be more appropriate . Ehh123 (talk) 20:36, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. It should be reworded. LancedSoul (talk) 20:40, 30 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The following paragraph is a run-on sentence:

Set in a world populated entirely by anthropomorphic talking cars and other vehicles, it follows an overconfident, conceited rookie race car named Lightning McQueen (Wilson) who, on his way to the biggest race of his life, discovers in the rundown town of Radiator Springs when he gets stranded, where he learns humility and friendship from the residents.

Change it to:

Cars is set in a world populated entirely by anthropomorphic talking cars and other vehicles. The film follows an overconfident, conceited rookie race car named Lightning McQueen (Wilson) who, on his way to the biggest race of his life, is stranded in the rundown town of Radiator Springs, where he learns humility and friendship from the town's residents.
