Parents Are Loving The Strong Feminist Message Of ‘Cars Trio’

The big female empowerment story of the summer may be “Wonder Woman,” but judging by the way parents and fans are reacting on social media, the latest entry in Pixar’s “Cars” series is delivering its own feminist message.

“Cars Trio,” which came out Friday and topped the box office, grossing an estimated 53.Five million over the weekend, made an impression on many viewers with its fresh lead character, Cruz Ramirez, a badass female race car voiced by Cristela Alonzo.

Cruz Ramirez from Cars three is a feminist icon.

cars three is actually a feminist movie about a female race car taking a male-dominated sport by storm

Also if you have a daughter, take her to Cars Three. She’ll come out wanting a Cruz Ramirez to be awesome with her Wonder Woman.

The leads in the “Cars” franchise have traditionally been masculine, and in fact, the character of Cruz was originally conceived of as masculine, the filmmakers told The Washington Post.

The film’s director, Brian Fee, also said that being a parent to two daughters inspired him to create a more inclusive film.

“Now that I have two daughters, I see the world through their eyes,” the director told The Washington Post. “I see how little they have [culturally], and I see what they’re up against. I see how they hold themselves back.

While one might wish that it didn’t require private practice with gender discrimination for studs to want to take activity against it, viewers seem to be responding to the results.

Cars three was, the more I think about it, a profoundly feminist movie.

If you thought Wonder Woman was the feminist movie of the summer, just wait until you see Cars Three

I knew Pixar was capable of making a feminist family film for boys, but didn’t expect it in CARS Trio.

@cristela9 just observed cars three and it was so fine! I loved the message and after the movie ended I could see little ladies inspired 💕#Cars3

So I just spotted Cars Trio. I got misty eyed in the middle, it had a clear message about life, and it’s a feminist movie. I’m as astonished as you.

Cars three had a remarkably uplifting feminist message. So, you know, that’s neat.

Words I never thought I’d say: Cars three is one of the most inspiring, feminist films Disney’s ever produced. #truestorybro

So. Cars Trio! Unexpectedly feminist and clearly thought provoking to 4-year-olds.

I’ll say it: Wonder Woman and Cars three may be the best feminist films of the last ten years.

um Cars three had the thickest plot twist of ALL TIME – randomly turned into the feminist story of my hopes and fantasies im SHOOK

Actress Lea Delaria, who voices the character of Miss Fritter in the film, seconds the conclusion that the film has a strong feminist message, telling HelloGiggles, “It’s fabulous that all these youthful ladies are gonna see these strong female characters in this movie, winning.”
