Hot Wheels City

TV show · 2018

This report covers the full series (Seasons 1–3/4, 2018–2020). Hot Wheels City is a short-form stop-motion-style series featuring real toy cars racing through a miniature city while heroes Chase and Elliot battle a mad scientist named Draven and his parade of giant creatures. Episodes run just 3–9 minutes each, are rated TV-Y, and keep things breezy and fast-paced with no blood or real-world danger.

Great for kids 4 and up who love toy cars and fast-moving action; the giant creature villains may give the youngest viewers (under 3) a moment of wide eyes.
