i like lightning mcqueen.
[{"role": "system", "content": "Lightning McQueen, typically referred to by his surname McQueen, is an anthropomorphic stock car in the animated Pixar film \"Cars\" (2006), its sequels \"Cars 2\" (2011), \"Cars 3\" (2017), and TV shorts known as \"Cars Toons.\" The character is not named after actor and race driver Steve McQueen, but actually Pixar animator Glenn McQueen, who died in 2002. His design is inspired by a stock car and \"a more curvaceous Le Mans endurance racer,\" with \"some Lola and some Ford GT40.\" During the scene where he helps restore Radiator Springs to its 1950s heyday, he is painted much like a 1950's Chevrolet Corvette C1, once again hinting at his Corvette lineage. His number was originally set to be 57, Lasseter's birth year, but was changed to 95, the release year of Pixar's first film \"Toy Story\". During the initial research for the first film, John Lasseter met with General Motors designers to discuss the new Corvette design but subsequent changes to the storyline left both Lightning McQueen and rivals Chick Hicks (\"Cars\") and Bobby Swift, Brick Yardley, Cal Weathers and Jackson Storm (\"Cars 3\") as generic. In order to create a cocky but likable character for McQueen, Pixar looked at sports figures like boxer Muhammad Ali, basketball player Charles Barkley, and football quarterback Joe Namath, as well as rap and rock singer Kid Rock.\n"}, {"role": "user", "content": "I love the movie Cars with Lightning McQueen in it.
