CarGo is a low-budget All-CGI Cartoon produced by The Asylum and Toolvox Productions released in 2017, coinciding (on purpose) with the release of a better known CGI movie about cars, so no change there, then. Set in the (obviously) fictional town of Cargo, North Dakota, Danny Carbunkle is a teenage sports car who's persuaded by his "friend" Vin to ditch school and participate in underground racing. Later, Danny's father Art finds out and grounds Danny, but then gets into a nasty accident and is declared totaled. Now it's up to Danny and his other friend Cabigail to save Art from getting scrapped on the dreaded Clunker Island.

Villain Song: "Monster Truck", sung by, well, the Monster Truck, about his intent to get even with Danny. "Clunkers" also qualifies, since it's about the residents of Clunker Island intending to take away Danny and Cabigail's parts.

Ironic Echo: "Sometimes, we have to do the right thing, no matter the cost." First said by Art during his argument with Danny, and later by Danny when he promises to find Art's numerous parts stolen by the clunkers. "It's in your/our oil." First said by Art when he tells Danny he'd make a good mechanic, and later by Danny near the end when he accepts this career.

Vocal Dissonance
 Car Go / int_3a88a563
comment
Vocal Dissonance: Art sounds absurdly old to be simply Danny's father; a consequence of being voiced by Ed Asner. To a lesser extent, there's also Rudy Carleone, a male sports car about Danny's age... voiced by Jessica DiCicco. The results are... about what you'd expect.

Paper-Thin Disguise: Lampshaded. Danny and Cabigail borrow some costumes from a thespian theater and dirty themselves up so they can look old enough to get into a demolition derby. The bouncer is not convinced and points out that they're simply wearing disguises.

"I Am" Song: "Teenage Car", sung by Danny, about how he's, well, a teenage car and that no one understands him, though it also explains how someday he'll grow up and truly enjoy himself. "Clunkers", sung by the Clunker Island vehicles, about how their horrid little lives and what they do for a living.

Pop-Cultural Osmosis Failure: Played for Laughs. Danny quotes a movie called The Carshank Redemption, which neither Cabigail nor Vin seem to have heard of. Immediately after, however, Vin reveals his plan for escaping juvenile detention garage: through a large hole in the wall hidden behind a poster of Rita Carworth.

Where the Hell Is Springfield?
 Car Go / int_8504b817
comment
Where the Hell Is Springfield?: The "Welcome to Cargo" sign seen at the beginning of the movie claims that Cargo is in North Dakota. However, Clunker Island is a bit of a mystery. Danny and Cabigail have to take a ferry to get there, implying that Clunker Island is somewhere in the ocean, despite North Dakota being a landlocked state. Though North Dakota does have some rather large lakes, it seems unlikely that Clunker Island could exist in any of them.

There's also the aforementioned references to The Shawshank Redemption. Not to mention this film's take on Romeo and Juliet - Chromeo and Tooliet.
