Wheely

Wheely: Fast & Hilarious (or simply Wheely, otherwise known as Willie and the Cool Cars in Russia as Вилли и крутые тачки) is a 2018 Malaysian computer animated adventure comedy film directed by Yusry Abdul Halim and Carl Mendez.

Why It's Not Fast nor Hilarious

 * 1) First off, this movie only exists just so they could cash in on the popularity of Cars. Due to the animation, while decent, etc., it could be argued that this film tries to be a rip-off of mh:greatestmovies:Cars 3, which was released a year before this movie.
 * 2) *However, it does not only rip-off Cars, but it also even rips-off mh:greatestmovies:Turbo and the Planes series.
 * 3) The soundtrack is not only awful, but the film stole the soundtracks from many Pixar films such as mh:greatestmovies:A Bug's Life, and Monsters, Inc. without their permission.
 * 4) Wheely's car crash doesn’t make any sense as he gets hit by a train, flies off and somehow, he is still able to drive into the water.
 * 5) *In fact, some of the lines don’t even make any sense too, like when Putt-Putt said "Sometimes, they worse". It should've been "Sometimes, they are worse", which is also a very bad dialogue in the US dub.
 * 6) *And because of that, Putt-Putt is an embarrassing comic relief, which his jokes such as "Slap my face" are unfunny, he is also an annoying scooter that never shuts up.
 * 7) *Misleading poster: Even the poster makes no sense, it shows a picture of Wheely, Bella, Putt-Putt, Momma, Ben, Kaiser, Jo Flow, Frank and Joe racing in a city at night in Malaysia where the Petronas Twin Tower is, but it really does not look like it. It looks like that Gaiam Americas or the Asylum would've made it.
 * 8) The humor in this film is terrible as it consists of flatulence jokes, car puns, and Wheely shaking his buttocks off.
 * 9) There are even pop culture references in this film. For example, Wheely mentions mh:greatestmovies:Jurassic World at the beginning of the film.
 * 10) The film's audio is mixed very loud, that it can be deafening, especially during the opening race of the film (this only implies in theaters when it was released).
 * 11) The main character's name was stolen from the 2016 car flash game Wheely of the same name, despite having no relation to either one.
 * 12) Some scenes are pretty violent and dark for a family film, a fine example is with Frank, who is literally a creepy Frankenstein-looking car that uses Wheely carcass like a cadaver, just for the sake of being a cardiologist.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) The animation and character designs look decent, especially for Malaysian standards. Unlike most other mockbusters like everything made by Vídeo Brinquedo or Spark Plug Entertainment, it looks surprisingly good.
 * 2) The beginning of this film is actually pretty exciting and awesome, but it’s ruined by the pop culture references and Wheely's car crash.
 * 3) Okay voice acting from Zizan Razak and Lisa Surihani, who are both world renowned actors.
 * 4) The final counter between Wheely and the evil truck named Kaiser is very enjoyable.

Trivia

 * This is the final mockbuster of the Cars series of all.
