Cars 2 isn't the usual intimate magical experience you expect from Pixar fare, but it's still a high-octane adventure the burns fast and furious. But the fast pacing works in the film's favor, as the slightly morbid moments flicker in and out as quickly as race car laps. What's lost here, for the most part, is the warmth and heart that we adore, and expect, from most Pixar offerings.Ĭars 2 is also a darker film where several car characters do meet an untimely, and sometimes gruesome, end.
BRAVE 2 SEQUEL PIXAR MOVIE
Cars 2Ĭars 2 benefits from cherry-picking the best elements of the first Cars movie and switching genres completely by taking Lightning McQueen and Mater out of Radiator Springs and dropping them into the middle of a fast-paced, dynamic spy flick. Still, Cars 3 came about at a time when viewers wanted either new Pixar products and/or sequels to better Pixar movies. Generally, Cars 3 is lauded for being the deepest, most introspective entry of the three, with the consensus being that it's the Cars flick most aimed at adult Pixar fans. Cars 3 goes the Rocky Balboa comeback route for a more internalized story about Lightning McQueen's doubt and fear when pitted against a younger, faster generation of racers.

Cars is a merchandise cash cow, but it's also the studio's brand that's left the most older viewers cold.

As the second Pixar franchise to get a third movie, Cars is a great example of the more traditional disconnect between kids and grownups when it comes to blockbuster animation.
