This is great. It also makes me think that, for whatever reasons, Cars 2 was not written by Pixar.
It's a horrible sequel. The original story had fully rounded characters, personal discovery, redemption, recognition of working with others, a whole pile of admirable qualities.
Cars 2 has a bunch of animated effects, celebrity cameos, and lots of guns, shooting and rockets. There may have been a story with a message but I'm not sure what it was.
Would it have been that hard to come up with a better story for the follow up?
- Jackim 14y agoCars was quite profitable post-box office, I can't help but think Disney pushed for a sequel before the buzz ran off.
- brc 14y agoTo my cynical eye, Cars 2 was written solely from a merchandise expansion point of view. I just don't understand why someone didn't stand up and say 'can't we write a good sequel and make lots of money?' In short : why not Empire Strikes Back? Lots of cool merch in that one, but a good story as well. It can be done.
- gregpilling 14y agoAgree. Cars was fantastic. I have watched it a hundred times with my kids. Cars 2 with the guns, torturing of cars, was to me a horrible movie. Saw it once in the theater, and I have no interest in buying the movie or watching it again.
