Pixar are very much one of the most highly regarded animation studios in the industry right now. But they are not immune to producing TERRIBLE movies. And their first hiccup came 16 years into develop with the first installment of their phase of sequel movies - and that is of course with Cars 2. What went wrong? Why was it so bad? And was it truly TERRIBLE? Let's go see for ourselves as we delve into Pixar's TERRIBLE Cars Sequel...

In defense of the opening scene where Finn becomes a hydrofoil: even though he had the capability to approach the oil rig alone like that, it wouldn't have been the best idea. He could have also gone submarine mode, but most modern warships are equipped with Sonar and he would have been detected. Hiding on the boat is a good way to keep under cover, because if it's spotted, it's just a regular boat.

He also knew he was probably going to be stopped by another enemy boat patrolling, I don’t think that the boat he was on was going straight to the enemy oil rig, he did exactly what he planned and hitched a ride on the back to find the enemy rig out of the tens of hundreds of other ones

Cars 2 fixed my parents marriage I’m actually not kidding. They were totally about to get a divorce and I really didn’t want that to happen so I begged them to take me to see Cars 2 just because that was out at the time. They sat apart from each other (which was not normal) with my little sister and I in between them. They both looked like they were going through a divorce when the movie started (you know, the glossy eyed, done with life sort of look) but by the end we were all joking and laughing as a family again for the first time in weeks! I don’t know, maybe it was just that we wanted to laugh again or maybe it was just something about Larry the cable guy Anyway, when we left the theater my Dad held my Mom’s hand the whole way to the car and they were both smiling again and my sister I were running around pretending we were Lightning McQueen and Mater and that’s when I knew then that everything was going to be alright

I like how the entire comment section collectively agrees that this guy is wrong.

[@_chan.burn.21_]

Cars 2 is basically an hour and a half "Mater's Tall Tales" special, and I will always consider it to be just that since the events of the film are never acknowledged in Cars 3. In fact, I have always had an idea for an alternative end credits scene for the film. Basically, it starts with Mater waking up to find that everything that happened was a dream and having a good laugh about it, in which he then remembers that Lightning is arriving home from his Piston Cup season that day (this brings us back to the beginning of Cars 2 without the whole oil rig opening scene). So, he gets all excited and rushes off to welcome McQueen home and tell the others yet another one of his "Tall Tales".

[@MarioSonicPhillyFan700]

That's a great way to explain that

[@calebcostrini]

You had me at Mater's Tall Tales.

[@Marshall.R]

That does sound like a fitting conclusion but could also be a very lazy way of excusing the rest of the movie's problems, like it suddenly doesn't matter if it's all just a dream anyways

[@_chan.burn.21_]

@@Marshall.R That is fair, but it's not like the story of Cars 2 mattered in the end anyways considering Cars 3 basically just forgot it existed. The only major "connections" to Cars 2 are McQueen still having real headlights and that one Jeff Gorvette Cameo at the Florida 500.

[@egateqa1351]

At the end of every Mater’s Tall Tales short, it turns out Mater’s tales are in fact true. So Cars 2 did in fact happen, it’s just that there is a few cars characters who couldn’t believe Mater’s stories are true and just pretend they’re just stories.

Theory: Lightning was still processing Doc's death, and didn't know how to cope with what was going on, so while travelling the world he created these outlandish scenarios to try and cope with the loss of his mentor, and we're seeing these scenarios play out from Lightning's perspective.

If I was Pixar,I would fix Cars 2,Lightning McQueen would be the main character,and Mater would still be a side character. First of all,I would make the spy stuff be a b-plot and I would make a Cars Toons:Mater's Tall Tales:Spy Mater. Finn and Holley would meet Rod Redline after the fight with the lemons in the bathroom. Mater tells a car to move out of the way,which McQueen to move to the outside and loses to Francesco. McQueen still gets mad at Mater and he goes back home. Lightning McQueen would talk to Mater later in the movie about missing him and his other friends in Radiator Springs. McQueen would win in the next race and the next race,giving him the championship. Then after the race,McQueen gets kidnapped by the lemons and Mater and the rest of his friends and spys have to save them. They saved them and McQueen fights with lemons as well. The Queen Of England reunites McQueen and they have the World Grand Prix in Radiator Springs. The only change is that the spys are not there. McQueen wins the Radiator Springs Grand Prix,which would be amazing for his fans. Then we get post credits of McQueen racing Cal Weathers,Bobby Swift,and others in Piston Cup the following season.

[@HiyoriAroused]

Cars: The Video Game is the TRUE Cars 2. It has a brand new story that takes place a year after the movie and showed how Lightning McQueen won his first Piston Cup.

I know it's been mentioned before, but being a "lemon" in the Cars universe is essentially the same as a physical handicap.

I would really liked it if Pixar brought back Finn Mcmissle, or Atleast Holly Shiftwell to come to Radiator Springs to see Mater, or go after an American Villian, and then they see McQueen and investigate the race. And it turns out Jackson Storm was supporting this villain, Jackson Storm is arrested. Or you could scrap that entire idea, and have Francesco visit to replace a cousin he has in the United States, and race with McQueen. Eventually Francesco gets hit by Jackson Storm and nearly loses control due to his Fragile Shape, but he comes back and makes Jackson Storm have a brutal crash that kills him. However, Francesco, drives off the track slowly to a stop before being helped by McQueen showing that they are still friends. Cruz finishes the race, screeching to a stop after the crash of Jackson Storm, but still cheers after her win. The movie is still cool though.

Yeah, but. It just doesn't make a good cars 2 movie, like the first was all about racing and the second is just about action and guns, so it's a fine movie if you see it as a stand alone film. It's not good, but it's fine for the younger people watching this.

[@deathsinger1192]

agreed, absolutely love it!

[@huggelion]

i want someone to remake cars 2 but with humans and see how fucked up the story is

[@Daniel_Paterson]

Objectively, it is a pretty bad film. I, however, really like it. When it came out, I was quite young and thought the whole premise of spy cars and espionage to be the coolest thing ever. I could honestly go on about all the things I loved and still enjoy about the movie. In conclusion, the movie is pretty awful but I quite like it.

8:52 good easter egg

[@whatnext7417]

The only good thing in this movie

I’m just going to mention the underrated cars piece of media called “mater’s tall tales” it’s one of the BEST bits of cars media!

What’s cool is that the boat in the opening scene is voiced by Sig Hansen, who is known for being one of the captains on Deadliest Catch. His boat is the Northwestern, which happens to be the boat Flynn is on.

[@blueotter5954]

3:16 Don't be suspicious, don't be suspicious! 4:49 Are you feeling jealous? 8:22 Personally, no. I think that's more of a scene were the audience remembers doing something bad and then rightfully feeling guilty. He did mess up, and knows he can't fix this as the damage is done. Still, he does have the right to feel upset and take at as he can, and yeah that involves some denial. 8:43 No, he congratulates Matter for spotting out something he over looked. As an adult now, I still overlook things and am very grateful when someone helps me out. I still feel like an idiot for missing something so simple, but am very thankful. 9:23 I agree with you, but also, you can't really make someone be a completely different person, you don't make friends by making them do things they aren't, you make friends by going through pain together and learning what the other person is all about. You work with each other rather than making the other work. I thought that at best McQueen should have bought him seats to watch the race, or while he gets someone else to direct him. 10:48 I legitimately thought at was the direction they took! That they do look down on him accidently, but still love and need him. 11:36 Yes. Embrace bumper cars. 13:06 Maybe, and yet I love them regardless. 13:48 Got to admit, this clique losses it's charm with time; a lot more than the others. Good news, they understand each other better later. Likely starting at 13:55 15:13 It's likely that he didn't care about what others thought of him before he knew himself and that was enough. But this adventure made him see that his flaws have BIG consequences for those he cares about; his friend's tournament and now the lives of thousands; and because he knows others take him as a joke and treat him like a joke he doesn't know if anyone will take him seriously if he goes though with his plan! Which by the way, his plan to intimidate the real mastermind was a huge risk but with limited time couldn't work any other way.

[@WoodRaptor78]

I liked cars 2 as it’s OWN movie but NOT as a Sequel after the 1st! Cars 3 was like the sequel as it kept the similar style (racing) from the 1st.

for the love of god stop shitting on cars 2, it was an alright movie, sure it was a weird change in pace but whats better, the same movie twice or a different movie the next time around

When I saw the trailer for this I thought McQueen was going to be a spy to and was disappointed when he was hardly in it, they could of had him kidnapped or something interesting at least

Cars 2 is overhated. No matter how manyy times i watch it i will always enjoy it.

[@Momin_Azam]

Personally, I love the first Cars movie, and the second Cars was ok, but it was a major letdown compared to the first Cars. The third Cars, imo, is a redemption from the second one; a WAY better movie!

[@chrisyestan4812]

“And the second cars was ok” but compared to the… yap yap yap”🤓☝️.hm lemme fix this Cars 2 is a masterpiece Cars 2 is a masterpiece. I'm so sick and tired of anti-intellectual mouth-breathing dipshits who feel the need to denigrate this absolute gem of a film. "Muh Wall-E, Muh Coco, Muh Inside Out." Bitch. How the fuck can you appreciate those movies but fail to understand the absolute genius of Cars 2? It brings a whole new perspective to the Cars universe and follows up the first one by being an entire different genre. Remember how unique Aliens was compared to Alien? Or how ballistic Soldado was to Sicario? Well that's what John Lasseter did for Cars 2. We have a globetrotting espionage thriller that manages to outclass most Bond movies, and hauntingly beautiful performances from Owen Wilson and Larry The Cable Guy. Never mind the contemporary social commentary on terrorism, class/generational warfare, and culture. It's a tale of friendship and belonging and the relationships between the characters have an almost human quality to them. The action is fast paced, thrilling, and insanely well animated. In an era where most of the industry's output is safe, boring, and by the numbers, here we have a movie that actually takes creative risks. Hell, even Roger Ebert had this to say about the film: At a time when some ‘grown-up’ action films are relentlessly shallow and stupid, here is a movie with such complexity that even the cars sometimes have to pause and explain it to themselves. It's not just a kids film. It's not just an ad for toys. We were given a film that actually tried. A film that tried to be subversive, fresh, poetic, and different. And we outright rejected it. Audiences were given a film they weren't ready for. I only hope over time, that more will come around to appreciate it's brilliance.

[@sweetzzz2924]

Cars 2 was the first film I remember seeing in the cinema so I’m always gonna remember it fondly, I remember loving it as a kid but I also have zero interest in rewatching it now as an almost-adult haha

[@TeamBlueToad]

I used to think this movie was good back when i was younger. And just the fact that i don't like it anymore shows how much i have grown up since then.

[@LexVanguard2004]

Imagine telling people in 2006 that the sequel to Cars would have Mater bringing a bomb to Buckingham Palace. I like this movie, if only for the nostalgia and setpieces.

one of the reasons i like this is probably because i be a brit

Thanks for pointing out all the flaws to this disappointing movie like in 4:44 for example. They really seemed that they tried to normalize such a sour thing.

Had Cars 2 been called Mater’s Tallest Tale, it wouldn’t have been as hated! Also say it with me now; Monsters University is a prequel, not a sequel!

[@AtlasBlizzard]

Look at the poster for Cars 2. Look at where the UK, Ireland and Iceland are supposed to be. What happened there?!

[@mattwolf7698]

4:13 I'd say it's aged well, if you are talking about renewable energy, car's are seriously starting to go electric now and gasoline cars will be banned in the UK and the Netherlands within a decade if everything stays on course. That said, they are using in alternative gasoline in the movie so in that aspect, it will be dated.

[@RTRC_2012]

(I am leaving this comment now before I watch the video and will come back to it once I have seen it.) From what I can tell, the problems most people have with this movie stem from the fact that Mater is the main character, which forces a more complex plot to revolve around his simple and goofy nature. That being said, I don’t care all that much and I still enjoy this movie a lot. I never got a good sense of WHY everyone hates this movie, so hopefully this video will show me why. EDIT NOW THAT I’VE SEEN IT: I think this video was pretty fair. I probably have some rose-tint in my reading glasses, but I still can’t help but enjoy many parts of this film, despite how phoned-in it was. I think the current plot and characters could be really good with better pacing and world building, but I would watch this movie again over the Good Dinosaur any day.

[@battlemachine9031]

Okay but remember this. ITS A KID'S MOVIE. so the jokes were cringe to adhere to its audience at the time. In my opinion, the cinematographer was fun and playful and the film was captivating for young people at the time. The plot may have been cheesy and badly written but it was unique to other movies at the time, as it was a spy thriller.

[@DanGamingFan2406]

Well, we all knew this review was coming someday! Personally I loved it as a kid, but it's flaws are pretty obvious now.

[@deliriousmusicality8840]

Same, it's pretty fun despite how awful it is lol

[@sergeantsainsburys9181]

They did know what kids liked so it’s sort of fine to not appeal to the ages it’s not made for like anyone over 10

[@Danominator]

I really wish Pixar would attempt another spy movie one day. I really do like the spy stuff here, it's just...hard to take seriously in the Cars universe. I still hold the theory that this movie is just a feature-length Mater's Tall Tale.

[@tdkreturns-batcavepictures1224]

Mater's stupidity is only funny in small doses. Put him as the main character for 90 minutes and it just becomes aggravating.

I actually loved cars 2. the music was amazing and the jokes were spot on for adults and kids.

And? Just because it's funny and the music is cool is a very, very weak argument. You can't say "I like Cars 2 because I like the music and it's funny." That's a weak argument.

@@astuffedpotato9256 I disagree. The plot was far from amazing. It was very hard to follow along with, the plot was all over the place and it didn't know what direction it was going in. Think of it like this. You enter a corn field and get lost in it. Cars 2 enters it's plot but gets lost in it.

@@xgaming125g What do you mean it's incredibly easy to follow. Mater gets mistaken for a spy. He also realizes that people see him as a clown. A rich billionaire makes alternative fuel.

Cars 2 is only good if you view it as a Mater's Tall Tales, basically, as a fun non-canon 'what if' story. Cars 3 is the much better sequel to the first movie and the only sequel I consider canon.
