Mater's Tall Tales is a series of short animated films featuring the beloved character from the Cars franchise, Mater the tow truck. In each episode, Mater shares wild and outrageous stories about his adventures, often involving his friends Lightning McQueen and the other cars from Radiator Springs.
The stories vary in theme and setting, taking Mater all over the world and even beyond. In one episode, he claims to have been a daredevil bulldozer fighter in Germany, while in another he claims to have been a secret agent on a mission to save the world from a sinister villain.
Despite the tall tales, Mater's friends always listen with rapt attention, knowing that even if the stories are exaggerated, there's usually some kernel of truth buried in there somewhere. Along the way, they all share in a few laughs and some good-natured ribbing.
While the animated shorts are aimed primarily at kids, there's plenty of humor that will appeal to adults as well. And of course, fans of the Cars franchise will appreciate seeing their favorite characters in action once again, in all their colorful and quirky glory.
