My mother is appalled and thinks we should be dressing him in more elegant clothes (which she keeps shipping and I keep washing and folding and then donating as he outgrows them, barely worn).
I honestly can't yell or discipline my child for wearing character clothing. It makes him so happy. When he is older, I'll explain how unfair the world is and how he is being judged for not wearing Brooks Brothers on the weekends and Hugo Boss during the week. but I'm letting him be a carefree kid for now.
PS We haven't event watched the move Cars, or rather, we started it one night and everyone (including the kid) absolutely hated it. He still loves that red car on his sweater.)
