The lesson is: Support your local car enthusiast guys, they are saving cars and giving them a new life :)

I love that she ended up with teenagers. They worked hard on her and ended up having fun.❤️

As a car enthusiast, this hits very close to home. Never thought of shedding a tear for Susie, or for any car that shared the horrible fate of being abused, not taken care of to the point that it only belongs in a junkyard. Be it a Vocho or an old JDM or even an old Euro... but that happiness in the feels like renovating or restomodding an oldie to become one unique piece of machinery. My W211 will be forever thankful 😭😭😭

This was from when Disney was still good... the magic was still there. Never forget.

7:00 *Whoever thought of using car grilles as tombstones and the telephone pole as a cross to resemble a graveyard in the junk yard was pure genius!* 😮🤩

I'm Vietnamese, when I saw this video, it made me feel very touched about my bike, my family bought the bike honda dream 100cc in 1997, when I was only 12, it was not as simple is a vehicle, it is also a family member, a companion, and an entire fortune. After nearly 30 years, it has become much older and weaker due to lack of regular inspections. While running, it had a few problems, but luckily a friend of mine, he is a motorbike repairman, he helped me restore this bike in the most perfect way. and when the bike was completed, I confidently drove it, I was happy because it and he let me relive my childhood memories, and it was also happy because he and I gave it the opportunity to recreate born again.

Every classic car enthusiast/owner can relate. We feel something nobody else does. We love those pieces of metal.

My daughter loved this one, I've watched it at least a hundred times with her. Thank you

[MOBMJ]

These older style animations are just something else 🙌

[aussieknuckles]

As someone who animates frame by frame, this level of smoothness and quality in the animation is insane!

I blame this short (and the Brave Little Toaster) for the fact I cannot get rid of my first car; a 2005 Subaru Forester. His name is Jesse and he sits in my garage. He saved my life in an accident once, got his whole engine replaced, and I can't bring myself to abandon him. It's really quite rude of past animators to anthropomorphize inanimate objects cause now everything has some level of sentience and I'm a borderline hoarder!!

This really makes me feel sad for aging cars.

[HankScally]

I remember watching this when I was 11 years old. I'm 73 now. Memories ..

Bill Peet’s books were my favorite as a kid. This was also one of my favorite Peet cartoons. His art style really captured my imagination and inspired my own artistic creativity
