Mater is a matador fighting a herd of bulldozers in Spain. When Lightning McQueen enters the story, the bulldozers begin to chase him due to his red paint.
Practical Effects
Mater's cape physics are unhinged for 2008.
Sound
Bulldozer mooing. That's it. That's the highlight.
Director
John Lasseter
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
