Susie is a little blue car and the main protagonist of the animated short of the same name.
Appearances[]
Susie the Little Blue Coupe[]
Susie is a small blue coupe on display in a dealer showroom who is bought by a well-to-do man who is taken with her. Thrust into high-society, she finds herself surrounded by much larger, more luxurious cars but eventually makes do. She is pampered, but time takes its toll on her, mechanically and cosmetically; eventually, her owner trades her in. A second man buys her but her new life is much less pampered, being left outside in the cold and being poorly maintained. One night, she is stolen, chased by the police and totaled in the resulting wreck. Rotting in a junkyard, all looks hopeless for Susie when a young man notices her, buys her, and with the help of his friends, completely restores and revives her into a brand new hotrod.
House of Mouse[]
Susie made a cameo appearance in an episode of the House of Mouse called, "Max's New Car". She's seen out in the parking lot parked between a pair of Light Cycles from TRON, and Herbie. She is also restored to how she looked throughout the short rather than as a hotrod at the end.
Once Upon a Studio[]
Susie was seen amongst other characters from Walt Disney Animation Studios gathered for a group photo at the end of the short.
Trivia[]
- Susie strongly resembles a 1941 Willys Americar Coupe.
- The designs of the Susie and the other vehicles would be the inspiration for the Cars franchise.
