I’m one of those people who believe that everything has feelings. Even inanimate objects can elicit feelings of sympathy from me. Take a car as an example. We use it all day, and then leave it alone in the night, subject to the cold of winter and the sweltering heat of summer. It may sound crazy, but this has always made me feel kind of bad for whatever car I have owned. They serve me so well, yet they get treated just like any other tool; used for a purpose and then tossed aside until needed again.
That’s what really caught my emotions in this Walt Disney
cartoon from 1951. The title says 1952, but the copyright is 1951, so I’m going
with that date. The story begins with a man enamored of the automobile he sees
in the window at the dealership. It’s almost as if she is calling out to him to
take a drive, which he does.
From there the cartoon takes off, showcasing each aspect of
a car’s life as seen from an almost human perspective. I had never seen this cartoon
before, but it could’ve been lifted right from my imagination. Enjoy the cartoon;
I’m going to take my car out for a tank of Premium. If the adventures of
Little Susie are any indication of reality, then my car deserves it!
