El Materdor is the third short film in the Cars Toons series.
Plot[]
Lightning McQueen and Mater drive by a herd of bulldozers near Radiator Springs. Mater tells Lightning that they are just like the ones he used to fight. The film then goes to Spain in a stadium full of fans. A Bulldozer named Chuy enters the stadium and fights Mater. Mater holds a red cape on his hook and Chuy chases it. Every time the bulldozer misses Mater, Mater and the crowd say, "¡Olé!". The bulldozer gets ready to charge at Mater. Mater taunts the bulldozer and it charges. Mater spins around and the bulldozer falls over. As Mater turns to face the crowd, the bulldozer charges again at Mater, this time, bulldozing Mater into the ground. The red cape falls onto the pile of dirt that Mater is under while a poster creates as a gravewood and a bell tolls, while the crowd were shocked in horror. Assumed that Mater is dead, Priest gives a funeral speech as Altar Boy Pitty wimpers, while Mia and Tia cries over Mater's supposed defeat. Suddenly, Mater emerges from the dirt. The crowd cheers and Mater shakes off his hood. Suddenly, more bulldozers enter the stadium and charge at Mater. He jumps and all the bulldozers crash into each other. Then, even more bulldozers enter the stadium and surround Mater.
Back at Radiator Springs, Lightning asks Mater what happened next. Mater says to Lightning, "you was there too".
Back in Spain, the bulldozers chase Lightning because of his red paint job instead of the red cape. At Radiator Springs, Lightning tells Mater that it did not happen. Mater tells Lightning to tell that to the bulldozers, who chase Lightning down the road. The episode concludes as Mia and Tia drive beside Mater and say, "Señor Mater!" to him, and Mater hooks Mia by her back bumper and says, "Olé."

Trivia[]
- "Materdor" is a pun on "matador". However, the proper name could possibly exist in the Cars world, with people calling Mater "El Materdor".
- The bulldozers are car-versions of bulls. Frank resembles a bull, but is a combine harvester, not a bulldozer. In the first film, Lightning McQueen says that he's a racecar, not a bulldozer, mentioning about not removing things of what Doc Hudson said. This makes it confusing.
- The Bulldozers from the short make a brief cameo in the end credits at the end of Cars 2.
- This is the second Mater's Tall Tales to feature 3 minutes, after Mater the Greater.
