This (and other Mater shorts) take various genres into play. This one in specific, goes into the Film-Noir, taking various tropes and adapting it to the Cars franchise.
The animation is beautiful, and looks especially good in the cavernous style black-and-white, typical of the style it pays homage to. The scenarios, in special, are quite perfect.
The plot is a straightfoward private detective story, with the typical questionings, femme fatales, and twists. The ending of Detective Mater's tale, him leaving mysteriously, is very good and perfectly matched with the genre.
Great short, yes. I would highly recommend it.
