Analysis of the movie cars

I have been working one some rough scene drawings of the conflict.I shall get them up tomorrow. Manly this post will be about the movie cars. As I have been reading the book "Ideas for the animated short" (by Karen Sullivan, Gary Schumer, Kate Alesander). There is a section in the first chapter, so I decided to analysis the movie cars. 

I shall say who the Hero, The Mentor, The herald, The shadow, The threshold guardian, the Shapeshifter are/is. If you have not seen Cars, go see it before read this, It might, might not spoil some parts of the movie. 

Disney Pixar Cars.

Hero - Lighting McQueen

Mentor - doc Hudson

Friend - Mater

Herald - doc Hudson, Sally

Shadow - chick hicks

Threshold Guardian - Chick Hicks, but I would also have to say Lighting as well

The trickerster - Mater

Shapeshifter - Doc Hudson

This is my interpretation of these characters, but personally I find Lighting McQueen fights himself, with is young pride of wanting to be the best and to win the Piston cup. This being his major flaw, but in the end he over comes it in an astonishing way. 

I shall quickly review the primary and secondary conflicts in this movie. The primary conflict would be a fish out of water, as he is stuck in a small town with a population of 10 or so. The secondary conflict would be a journey which changes him in the end.
