Meet "Susie , the little blue coupé" , the ancestor of "Cars"

Fifty-four years before John Lasseter's "Cars" animated movie, Walt Disney productions released in 1952 a lovely 8 minutes short animated called "Susie, the little blue coupé". One of the four animators was the great Ollie Johnston, and the narrator voice was Sterling Holloway, who did Kaa's voice, years later, in the Jungle Book.



There is no link between this short animated and the story line of the Pixar movie - there is humans in "Susie" and the cars don't have really their own "life" - but, like in "Cars", all the different cars characters of "Susie" already had eyes, mouth, etc...



Whether it's Susie itself or its parking lot friends...



Or a big angry tramway...



Or even a police car...



So, (re)discover this wonderful short animated, the "ancestor" of Cars, thanks to this youtube video below, it's 8 minutes long, and you won't loose your time.
