Watch as Bobby shares some of the earliest animation tests ever created to figure out how living cars would actually move, express, talk, and feel believable on screen.
This behind-the-scenes look showcases the early mechanical tests and character physics developed by Pixar's animation team before lighting, rendering, and final compositing.
From early rough tests to the finished movie, it's an incredible look at how Pixar Animation Studios brought the world of Cars to life for its 20th Anniversary.
