Toons: Mater's Tall Tales (which were played
on the Disney channel), the short cartoon,
Mater and the Ghostlight, Cars comic books,
and he has also appeared in every Cars video
game that has been created.
Mater hails from Radiator Springs, a small
little town off of route 66 that was
forgotten about then returned to promise
with the help of Lightning McQueen. Mater's
allies are his best friend Lightning
McQueen, Sally Carrera, Sheriff, Guido,
Luigi, Flo, Ramone, Doc Hudson, Sarge,
Fillmore, and the rest of the town. In Cars
2 Mater even has a love interest.
Mater has a lot of difference paint jobs and
costumes in the cars series which includes
Car Toons. He usually is very rusty, with
hints of blue paint and green paint on the
door and letters which say 'Tow Mater:
Radiator Springs,' he also has a missing
headlight and a flashing yellow light on top
of his tow truck.
Mater is voiced by Larry the Cable Guy and
was created by John Lasseter. In Cars 2
Mater's role really steps up and he really
does steal the show.

Studios and also at Disney's California

Land at Disney's California Adventure which
is scheduled to open in the Summer of 2012.
