I don't get it either .. great characters, great stories (both original and sequel) and instantly became my favorite of the Pixar films after watching for the 1st time. For me, I think a combination of my love for <i>Susie, The Little Blue Coupe</i> (the inspiration for <i>Cars</i>) and fond memories of collecting diecast with my brother growing up was a big part in this film being a favorite of mine.<br /><br />I too was worried about the rest of the <i>Radiator Springs Gang</i> when they weren't showing up in the trailers but got the biggest smiles when they showed up in London and thought perfect, the movie ended in Radiator Springs.<br /><br />We too thought the <i>Toy Story</i> short was very cute and well done. Have you heard the Tom Hanks interviews? Sounds like there could be a <i>Toy Story 4</i> on the horizon?<br /><br />Never saw <i>Ratatouille</i> the whole way through (not one of my favorites), so didn't catch that reference :(<br /><br /><b>Snow White Sanctum</b> - Did you get a chance to see the film yet? We're seeing for a second time this weekend. So much to absorb, takes more than one viewing :)<br /><br />I've learned long time ago to stay away from the reviews, go into the film and make my own opinion.<br /><br /><b>Kissynose</b> - Being such a fan of the original (and <i>Mater's Tall Tales</i>) guess made an exception with this sequel but like you, prefer original filming and hope Pixar doesn't go <i>sequel overload</i>. We know there is a <i>Monsters, Inc. 2</i> planned and now rumor of <i>Toy Story 4</i> and <i>Cars 2</i> left it wide open for future installments. <br /><br />Hopefully if they squeeze a sequel in here and there, it's because they have a good story to tell, as they did with <i>Toy Story 3</i>, my favorite of the <i>Toy Story</i> franchise.<br /><br /><b>Matthew</b> - I didn't catch that but appreciate you pointing out. We're planning on seeing again tomorrow, so definitely going to be looking for it!DC Pop Fanatichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04336354661732301642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534597513471933310.post-55607981011571990272011-06-27T20:17:09.933-04:002011-06-27T20:17:09.933-04:00I'm going to go see it again this weekend!
SP...I'm going to go see it again this weekend!<br /><br />SPOILER ALERT - don't read if you don't want to be spoiled...<br /><br />Hey did you notice at the end of the movie during the race in Radiator Springs when they go up the curved slope with the butte in the middle? That's part of near the end of the ride at Radiator Springs Racers opening next year at California Adventure!<br /><br />I can't wait for Cars Land.Matthewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17260622922916564933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534597513471933310.post-2895980004144307752011-06-26T20:07:38.458-04:002011-06-26T20:07:38.458-04:00I loved the movie!

I really ...I too am a big fan of the original Cars. I really had low expectation going into this movie. I waasn't as disappointed as I thought I would be. However, I believe Pizar could have done a little more with this movie.<br />Greatest aspect of the film is the little things that are meant to be discovered. I loved the Deadly Catch reference in the beginning of the film. The ship that takes Finn to the oil rigs is the Nortwestern and it is voiced by the Noerthwestern's captain Sig Hansan.<br /><br />I still love Pixar but I am a bit disturbed with the sequel route they are taking. I think they do much better with original content.kissynosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15159508563989782160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534597513471933310.post-38572452932365396652011-06-26T08:15:04.803-04:002011-06-26T08:15:04.803-04:00Duckman, you hit the nail on the head when you sai...Duckman, you hit the nail on the head when you said "Critics Suck!" I don't know how many times I've been delightfully surprised by films that were suppose to be rotten or vise-versa, disappointed by ones that were touted as the greatest thing ever.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your review. Looking forward to seeing the film.Snow White Archivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04715594290214114608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-534597513471933310.post-1237199972283296922011-06-26T00:10:48.688-04:002011-06-26T00:10:48.688-04:00Totally agree with your review, Don. Really don&#...Totally agree with your review, Don. Really don't understand why the original Cars and now the sequel have gotten such bad raps as being the weak links in the Pixar films. Upon seeing the original, it easily became one of my favorite of the Pixar releases, and the sequel follows up nicely. <br /><br />Loved the addition of the spy stuff: great action and music! One of my worries going into the film was that we wouldn't see much of the Radiator Springs gang as they weren't popping up in any of the trailers, but glad to see that worry was unfounded. And, yes, the homage to Doc Hudson was handled very well. <br /><br />I do want to give a bit of praise to the Toy Story short played before the film, as well. Thought it was an excellent continuation of the goings-on of the TS gang: very enjoyable!<br /><br />Oh, and seeing as how you mentioned Ratatouille in your review, did you happen to catch the restaurant from the film showing up in Cars 2 when they went to Paris?Jason S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09931011774119955384noreply@blogger.com
