Vehicular Boredom

So I've seen Cars. Twice. Hoped the second time would be better than the first. It wasn't. Pixar! You have betrayed me! Why have you made a subpar movie? Why have you not continued the stream started with Toy Story? Why has your Incredible group of movies ended? Did Disney buying you do this? Then it is war! For too long Disney has made fantastic companies bow under their iron rule! I say, take up your torches, your axes, your pitchforks! Take up the way of battle, of honor, of rebellion! We shall storm Disneyland and take back what is rightfully ours; the freedom of good movies to be made by independent companies! There are only people in animal suits to stop us! Let no furries bar our path. They have chosen to align themselves with the enemy; give them no quarter. Except for Tigger. He's a double agent for sure.

So yeah. I didn't like Cars. People probably will not agree on this point. Really: Toy Story had a funny story that resolved after a struggle. Bugs Life, same thing. Incredibles; conflict, resolution. Cars? What the hell was the conflict? The conflict was preplanned! The nemesis was named from the start, and all he did throughout the movie was cameos. The hero becomes trapped in a small town because of his own stupidity. I mean, it's a celebration of ineptitude. He can do one thing well and that's all he can do well. He goes fast. I mean, what scenes does he enjoy more than the ones where he goes fast? Oh yeah, the ones where he gets the girl. So he likes going fast and he likes girls. Simplest analysis of a Nascar driver? For the most part, I have to say yes. Least common Nascar denominator. At least for male drivers; can't speak for teh girrlz. Why idolize lower class America? With The Incredibles, it was middle class suburban America, but with superpowers. Which makes it awesome. What did Cars offer us? Not much, when tossed against Monsters, Inc., Toy Story, and the rest of the lineup. It makes me wonder what caused Pixar to put out such a lower quality product. Is Cars just a snack to stave us over until Pixer drops the next big thing? Or is this an indication of the future of Pixar? I wish I knew.

Much loves to you all! I'm a free bird!
