Did you know
• The penultimate film (voice) project for Paul Newman. He would lend his voice as narrator for the British film release The Meerkats (2008) just prior to his death.
• Although the "ghostlight" in this film is referenced in Cars (2006), this short does not take place "in the middle" of that film (that is, a "previously unseen moment"), but at an undetermined time afterward. This is evident in that Mack, Lightning's transport truck, is present (but has no lines).
• This animated short film is included as an extra on the DVD of Cars (2006).

Gorgeously animated, but rather routine
Breathtaking animation quality
Not quite as good as 'Cars,' but lovely coloured lighting and great music
