How I would fix Cars 2: 1) Make McQueen the main character 2) Keep Mater unfladerized 3) Re-write the story 4) Give it a PG rating

4:40 Is EXACTLY how I felt the day the reviews for Cars 2 came out in June 2011. I couldn't believe it, the first time a Pixar film ever received a negative response! That was something unheard of at the time and I never thought I'd ever witness such an event. I was never a huge fan of the original Cars, but I felt Pixar knew what they were doing and surely couldn't make a bad flick.....

[@calebdoerksen2]

M • Vanvid Cars 2 may not be Pixar’s best film for most people. I know it got mixed reviews from critics (with the main focus of criticism being the idea of having Mater in the main role instead of Lightning McQueen) but as I am a Pixar fan, I have enjoyed every single film they made so far. In other words, I liked this one as well.

2011 the beginning of the end of the public's unrequited love for the Pixar company. Thank God they still made movies like Coco and Inside Out otherwise the 2010's was filled with nothing but sequels.

[@hunterolaughlin]

The good news is that they’re finally moving away from doing sequels asides from Inside Out 2 to focus on more original films and more of their staff that worked as production assistants on their films are getting to express their creativity and passion with their films like Onward, Luca and Turning Red. So this decade at least will be more like their Golden Era from 1995 to 2010.

[@milkvanman104]

George Carlin voiced Filmore?! I never knew, the one who voiced in Thomas, voiced in Pixar!

[@DiegoDiaz-rs4ej]

Bob Thomas claims Cars 2 has been unfairly panned. I for one, agree with him. This movie made Mater a perfectly likable character; I actually felt bad for him when Lightning yelled at him. Also, I was impressed at Mater's knowledge as a tow truck. Yes, Finn McMissile and Holly Shiftwell should have been able to figure a few clues by themselves, but because Mater is a tow truck, it makes sense for him to know so much about mechanics. Then there is the humor. Except for the uncomfortable toilet humor, the REST of the humor is perfectly funny. And although this is clearly a Spy Movie, the race is not as pointless as one would think. I honestly have no idea why people hate Cars 2 so much.

[@MovieFan1912]

Oh, you watch Bobsheaux too?

[@DiegoDiaz-rs4ej]

Well, my favorite of his videos is his playlist of The Land Before Time movies, but I have also seen his Alpha and Omega reviews, his Transformers Reviews, and too many others to list.

[@true-autistic-tales]

Brave is one of my favorite Pixar movies because the main character, Merida, I can relate to SO MUCH!! Like all I want to do sometimes is juts ran into the wild and feel more like myself

[@captainmarvelwilson508]

I disagree. I think it is one of the most underwhelming Pixar movies. The first half started off promising with two sides of feminism battling it out with each other before the second half became just another version of Brother Bear. Brenda Chapman's idea should have been a thing and not what we ended up with in the end.

[@atruebluefriend]

Come on, guys! Why didn't you like Cars 2?!? I thought it was awesome! The animation was spectacular, they really expanded on the humor and the voice acting was top-notch. It even took the #1 spot on my Best Films of 2011 list! Also, who doesn't love Mater?

[@ariesdemiurge]

"Someone shoot me with an arrow now" Brilliant! If it were Disney from the Golden Age (or even the Disney Renaissance), Merida probably would've said that in a far off speaker with a pre-recorded message to create the illusion of a cartoonish (oh COME ON, Google, that's an actual word!) thought.

I remembered when I watched brave, I was crying hysterically

You make a good mater impression

[@KARMAZYNA]

Brave was pretty meh. It built up nicely until about the half of the movie, but then it felt like the creators realised that "shit, we're halfway there and still nothing major happened" and rushed the bloody thing horribly. and I don't really like the message of the film - if you want something, run away from home and make a huge mess of things. Merida got her way but her mom didn't, there was no visible compromise.

Megan Williams there's 3 main things that make a princess; 1) be born royal 2) marry into royalty 3) an act of heroism. And yeah saving china is pretty heroic.

[@SaraHouck461]

This is surprisingly the same for me, as I did enjoy it quite a bit myself when I eagerly decided to watch it whenever it showed on Disney Channel and ABC Family. I guess I was aware of it to gain a cult following despite its possible reputation for turning out to be quite a mess. Maybe it's because I enjoy traveling and learning about international cultures, as I was quite fascinated with starting to learn about it in third grade.

Golden ages of a stuido obviously don't last forever, and Pixar's ended in spectacular fashion with Toy Story 3, but who would have thought Cars 2 would be that bad. When I first saw the movie, I enjoyed it, then years later I thought about it real hard and realised how bad it was.

[@TheSirenNymph]

I love this one. Especially the V for Vendetta and Merida's coronation scenes

[@Mickelraven]

Cars 2 basically started Pixar's dark era. As most Pixar movies after Cars 2 are very mixed (like Brave, Monsters University, The Good Dinosaur and Finding Dory) and some bombed at the box office (like The Good Dinosaur and Cars 3). However this era does have its hidden gems, like Inside Out, Coco and Incredibles 2. I hope Toy Story 4 won't be a failure as people are already hating it because Toy Story 3 had "the perfect ending"

If I had to guess, I'd assume he wraps things up with a look back of the films from 1995 to 2012, talk about how Pixar opened up new doors for the world of animation, how the technology has improved and allowed animators to pull off things that would have been nearly impossible years ago, and finish off with his thoughts on Monster University and where he thinks the company will go from there.

[@MrMaxHauser]

The fact that the inspiration for one of Pixar's worst films is the phrase "What would Mater do?", tells me that Disney and Pixar are better off without creepy old John Lasseter

Even though I find Merida as a Disney Princess a kind of bizarre addition, I just realize a major milestone: This makes her the first one without any romantic partners!

Even though Cars 2 has no moments, I like the parts where McQueen is lonely without Mater, which might as well be the only good parts of the movie as well this little scene with the Piston Cup renamed after Doc, even though he was taken out.

[@bluethunder250]

I saw the movie only once and I found it kinda enjoyable. It wasn't that bad. Nothing incredibly spectacular with whole recycled secret agent storyline, but I will say that the story arc revolving around the reason for the race was pretty good and the revelation of the villain was a bit surprising.

He mentions how the couple on the bridge kissing in Paris was for his wife and the bathroom scene in Japan was what he and his son did when the went there. Mater at the party in Tokyo was based on John being invited to a party in Milan, Italy with all the glitz and glamour and him being dressed normal
