Lizzie: Difference between revisions

|image = Lizzie.png

In most of her appearances, Lizzie is seen as a crazy old lady, but in ''[[Time Travel Mater]]'' (her first major appearance), a flashback of her younger days are seen, where she is marrying Stanley.

[[File:Lizzie.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Lizzie in ''Cars''.]]In ''[[Cars]]'', she owns the local curio shop and collects postcards that she sells and keeps as a hobby. She has a knack for sneaking up on people and slapping their rear end with a souvenir bumper sticker, which gets on most cars' nerves. She clearly has short term memory loss and, like [[Fillmore]], goes on and on about "the old days". As [[Lightning McQueen]] helps bring Radiator Springs back to life, Lizzie is seen talking to the statue of her husband, saying, "Oh, Stanley, I wish you could see this.", implying that she still misses him. She apparently has short-term memory problems which showed through several times in the movie. Lizzie also seems to have a crush on Lightning McQueen.

[[File:LizzieCarsGame.jpg|thumb|200px|Lizzie waiting near an event icon in ''Cars: The Video Game''.]]In ''[[Cars: The Video Game]]'', Lizzie is showing [[Lightning McQueen|Lightning]] her postcard collection in her curio shop. Then Lightning accidentally knocks down a shelf, making another shelf tilt, then some [[Rust-eze]] cans slide down the shelf, making a bolt fall off the shelf, hitting the button on a fan, blowing the postcards out the door into the open world of [[Carburetor County]]. Lizzie thinks a blizzard is happening. Lightning decides to help her [[Lizzie's Postcard Hunt|find the postcards]].

Later, Lightning returns to Lizzie's with all 20 postcards. However, Lizzie did not remember him and that they got lost.

[[File:LizzieMaterandtheGhostlight.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Mater attempts to scare Lizzie.]]In ''[[Mater and the Ghostlight]]'', she appears in the scene where [[Mater]] tries to scare her while she is sleeping, but she never wakes up and continues sleeping. She then gathers around [[Flo's V8 Cafe|Flo's V8 Café]] to hear the story of the [[Ghostlight]]. Lizzie and the rest of the cars later appear at the end watching [[Mater]] being scared to death and when [[Sheriff]] explains to [[Mater]] it was not real.

When they travel into the year of 1927, they watch Stanley's eyes focus on the new car in town, Lizzie. Mater helps her when she breaks down near the newly founded Radiator Springs. When she sees Lightning, she appears to fall in love with him. Mater realizes that if Lizzie and Lightning get together, Stanley will leave and there will be no Radiator Springs! It's then revealed that Lizzie had her eye on Stanley. The two meet and they fall in love. Stanley gave Lizzie a cap that fits her fine and the two became fast friends and immediately began to like each other. Lightning and Mater then travel to the time of their wedding and Mater finishes the story. It is her wedding day with Stanley at the [[Radiator Springs Courthouse & Fire Department|courthouse]], and the two are married and begin to honeymoon.

In ''[[Cars: Fast as Lightning]]'', Lizzie is one of the few non-playable characters to appear in the game. According to the Gameloft website, this is because of her old age. She can be found driving around the player's town and will sometimes provide the player with additional challenges to complete.

According to her page in [[Disneystrology]], Lizzie is witty, relationship oriented, and nostalgic. However, in her recent years, Lizzie seems to suffer from memory loss as she quickly forgets things. Lizzie also is protective of her deceased husband, as shown in ''The Radiator Springs 500½'' where she became enraged after a gang of rogue racer cars made fun of Stanley.
