“We Drivers” combines simple, kitschy animation with live action to show the “devil” (Reckless Ralph) and “angel” (Sensible Sam) who sit on our shoulders and encourage us/egg us on while we drive. Reckless Rudolph wants us to drive fast through the school zone, but Sensible Sam reminds us that there might be kids around. Reckless Ralph wants us to push through to the next town even though we’re sleepy. Sensible Sam tells us to get a motel room (even if that means Sensible Sam shares a bed with us… Really, that’s in there.)

Besides awesome vintage cars, a lack of seatbelts, and predictably bad acting, there’s also a rather terrifying giant-human personification of momentum. In other words: It’s a must-see!
