While driving through a city, Lightning and Mater observe the filming of a zombie sci-fi film. The crew notice Lightning and decide to cast him as a deputy, although the filming goes awry due to his bad acting. Meanwhile, Mater impresses the crew and is given multiple roles, to Lightning's jealousy. Mater later explains to Lightning that he can't be good at everything, which comforts him. The next day, the duo find out that the entire story was rewritten to be a musical instead, and Ivy has been cast as a leading role. Lightning and Mater, fired from the film, drive away. Ivy is a very defensive vehicle. She was proud and happy to perform for an audience, but a supposed accident forced her to live like a hermit in the woods and stay away from everyone. Despite this, she secretly loved to perform again and with the help of Lightning McQueen and Mater, she is able to overcome her insecurities and step out into the world again. She becomes very open and fun-loving, showing an adventurous side that matches that with her friends. She is also very opportunistic about wanting to take the stage, but is not vain or conceited about it. She is a car filled with passion for what she loves best.
