The Talking Car (3x375)

Data de estreia: Mai 14, 2021

he first thing you might notice about The Talking Car is that the title lacks the “!?!” punctuation made standard by A Talking Cat!?!. It also doesn’t have voice work by Eric Roberts - unless he’s uncredited, you never know with that guy! The Talking Car is also slightly misnamed, because it features not one but SEVERAL talking cars. A little boy playing in the street is nearly hit by a car, and next thing you know another car sprouts some eyeballs and a mouth and starts talking to him. In fact, the boy finds himself in a cloudy nether world full of talking cars… so maybe that car really did hit him, after all? A dark potential interpretation the short leaves unexplored! Instead, the boy and his growly little dog get many lessons and scoldings from the talking cars up in the clouds, including a cranky old jalopy who must’ve had kids saying “Do I really want to drive? Or even be inside a car, ever again?”
