- Hey, great to see you.
I'm Dan, with Dancakes,
and welcome to Disney Pixar's, Cars channel.
On today's episode, we're gonna be making
one of your favorite characters from Cars, as a pancake.
Can you guess who it is?
(horn honking)
Today, we're making the lovely, kindhearted owner
of the Cozy Cone Motel, (clapping sound)
Sally Carrera.
So go ahead and get cozy
and we'll get started.
(air whooshing)
To begin with, we start with our squeeze bottles
full of colored pancake batter.
We color it with just a couple drops of gel food coloring.
All right, Sally, you've got such a rounded design.
You're so endearing.
All right, Sally.
Let's begin.
I've always been a big fan of Sally's baby blue paint job.
You know, maybe I'll have a car that color someday.
It's pretty cool that Sally is both a lawyer
and a hotel owner?
Like what a go getter, man.
Leave some for the rest of us.
Woo!
What's her expression?
Cool, cool
Cool, cool.
It's kind of funny cause normally drawing cars is difficult.
It's like not an easy task, but I think because the design
on these characters is so endearing
and so intentionally humanizing
they become a lot more simple for me to render
and that's great.
That makes me happy.
(air whooshing)
(upbeat country music)
You got some fancy wheels there, Sally.
Subtle but important.
Details are everything.
Especially when it comes to the eyes.
If you get the eyes, if you capture 'em
if you get 'em right,
makes a big difference in how your pancake looks.
So I always try to pay special attention to the eyes
of whatever character I'm working on.
Whether that's Sally or Lightning or Mater or
the whole gang.
(upbeat country music)
I like how smart Sally is.
That's something I like to think about while I draw her.
Beautiful blue eye.
(upbeat country music)
(air whooshing)
Little punch of color right there.
Oh, Sally, you're coming together so nicely.
Gotta get some dark blue in there too.
And here it is. The moment of truth.
The final fill of Sally Carrera.
I am really excited to see how this color turns out.
I think it's time to cook this pancake.
What do you say, Sally?
Sally?
(crickets chirping)
Okay.
It's time to heat things up. Literally.
I'm gonna plug in and turn on my griddle now.
This is gonna get super hot,
so if you're following along at home
do this only with adult supervision.
Sally is always there with great advice and help.
Remember when she said the Lightning McQueen,
"Don't fear failure, fear not having the chance.
You have the chance."
Well that's just good advice.
I think it's time to see how it turned out.
All right, here we go.
3, 2, 1.
Very nice.
Sally.
Ta-da!
Well, thank you so much for joining us today.
I've been your host, the pancake painter, AKA Dan.
Join us next time,
right here on Disney Pixar's Cars channel.
We'll see you around.
