Plot

Mater and Lightning McQueen are ready to rock! When Mater's garage band, Mater and the Gas Caps, records a hit song, Mater becomes a rock legend.

Sinekatalog’s take

The tow truck forms a garage band and becomes an accidental rock legend in a brisk animated short. Light, loud and silly, it is a quick fun diversion for younger viewers and fans of the Cars world.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
