Pixar Cars fans in love with \u201creal life Radiator Springs\u201d Pixar\/TikTok: globetrottinggingerIf you\u2019re a fan of Pixar\u2019s Cars movie series, Radiator Springs and all of the people who live there will feel like a second home \u2014 and that\u2019s something that many fans have realized after a viral TikTok showed a driver going through the \u201creal life Radiator Springs.\u201d For those unaware, or who don\u2019t remember, Radiator Springs is the sadly-forgotten town alongside Route 66 that features throughout the Cars series. When Lightning McQueen gets lost on his way to Los Angeles for a tiebreaker race, he goes through Radiator Springs, befriending the people who live there and learning about what was once a bustling through-town, but got cut off by a nearby highway. What many viewers won\u2019t be aware of, though, is the towns that the creators at Pixar drew inspiration from: namely the likes of Williams and Seligman in Arizona, the former of which TikToker GlobeTrottingGinger went to explore and was gobsmacked. Real life Radiator Springs goes viral Driving through Williams, AZ, the video, soundtracked by Rascal Flatts\u2019 and Cars\u2019 iconic \u2018Life is a Highway\u2019 shows the town at its finest, showing exactly how much inspiration Pixar took from the town and others like it. The gas station, bars, and cars on show look straight out of a different decade, reminiscent of the style of Radiator Springs in the show, with the same charm of the animated location too. In the video\u2019s comments, a number of people said that the town was now \u201cbucketlisted\u201d for them, or that the place was simply \u201cbeautiful.\u201d Others made recommendations of nearby towns or stores that the movies drew inspiration from, making for a dream road trip for Cars fans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
