Real Gonekāzu

Real Gone (from Cars)

One of the charms of Disney movies is anthropomorphism.

Snowmen talk, and cars and airplanes have human-like personalities—there are all sorts of elements that spark children’s imagination and curiosity.

The film Cars is like that too.

It’s not just a simple good-versus-evil story; friendship and love run deep beneath it all.

Sheryl Crow’s song “Real Gone” pairs perfectly with a cool dance.

It’s also a great BGM choice for school sports days during sprints or relays.

The Cars soundtrack is packed with tracks you can use, including songs by Chuck Berry and Rascal Flatts.
