Still pretty much agree with what I said then, though I haven't seen the movie more than once...Not sure it merits a sequel, but I'm generally anti-sequel in the first place (except of course in cases where the story was originally conceived as a serial/trilogy/etc.)<BR/><BR/>Compared to the rest of the Pixar canon, I place "Cars" well below the "Toy Story" movies, "The Incredibles," and "Ratatouille," at about the same level as "Monsters, Inc." and "A Bug's Life," but definitely above "Finding Nemo," which is good but probably my least favorite Pixar movie. I know I'm in the minority there.lyleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00954420869268632653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17556334.post-22422358638657405462007-07-12T19:21:00.000-04:002007-07-12T19:21:00.000-04:00I'm definitely with you on the look of the cars, L...I'm definitely with you on the look of the cars, Lylee, and the charm held me for about 45 minutes ... at that point I guess I just needed more of a story, because it definitely lost meReel Fanatichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09727636643227938924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17556334.post-30775356812602525412007-07-12T19:06:00.000-04:002007-07-12T19:06:00.000-04:00Haven't seen Sicko, hope to soon...say what one li...Haven't seen Sicko, hope to soon...say what one likes about Michael Moore, there's never a dull moment with him - and he asks all the right questions, even if he cuts corners with his answers...I mean, it's not like his critics/opponents are doing any better in that department.<BR/><BR/>Now I have to say I seem to be the only Pixar lover who actually, genuinely liked "Cars." Sure, it's not top-drawer Pixar, but that's a high bar to clear. I think what "Cars" may have lacked in, well, narrative creativity, it made up for in sheer charm. And never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined that cars could be made to look so anthropomorphic and yet so car-like at the same time.lyleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00954420869268632653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17556334.post-24396496901759918642007-07-12T18:23:00.000-04:002007-07-12T18:23:00.000-04:00I look forward to reading your impressions when I ...I look forward to reading your impressions when I get home, Beth ...

For me, it was the poorest of the Pixar films and in all honesty, I'd rather see a "Monsters Inc. 2" or "Finding Nemo 2" before a "Cars 2".

But this news of Cars 2 worries me. Sequels seem to be a crap shoot. Sometimes something wonderful emerges--Toy Story 2 in Pixar's case, The Bride of Frankenstein in the Universal horror movie's case--but often the results are often less than wonderful. Perfect example--Ocean's 12. Given that while I enjoyed Cars, I thought it was one of the least of the Pixar pictures, I have to wonder why they'd want to do a sequel?<BR/><BR/>Of course, perhaps I am being a bit hypocritical, as I'm not so worried about Toy Story 3. But then I absolutely loved the first two movies.Terence Towles Canotehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18397088843628331615noreply@blogger.com
