Wow....

That was one of the most heart warming things I have ever read.

That’s… beautiful.

That was beautiful... Thanks for sharing that with us!!!!

Sorry for your loss

I wholeheartedly agree. The tonal shift has no effect on the movie itself. Hell it improves on the original by expanding on the world of cars. It's not all about racing

Cars 2 is the first movie I watched from the cars franchise, and it’s my favorite

I love this movie as well, i enjoyed it mostly cuz it was a darker kids movie

same thing it's my favorite movie i liked the action and story scenes(And the music too) even if it's terrible by the others i don't care for me it's still one of the best movies i watched

@@sydneytrainsmania agreed. Cars 2 goated asf

Same like even though it barely focuses on racing as a whole I loved the spy theme so much

​@@_hyunxjaeduh, that's the underlying theme and it still has plenty of racing, you're just in the background, the racing isn't meant to be the main showcase, but the racers don't know that..only you do.

racing scenes carried the movie for me thats why i still love it

​@@WitchKing-Of-Angmarwell, when the main character of your franchise is a racecar it isn't exactly asking a lot for your movie to be focused on racing

The only one about racing is cars 3 😂

Tbh its a good movie, just a bad secuel, thats all lol

How was is a cash grab? Cars did way worse than Monster’s Inc and The Incredibles. The reason they had a spy plot is because John Lassiter loved spy films and originally wanted a spy in the Cars 1 film.

shame how the Cars franchise of all the Pixar ips have the highest body count lmao

i have a similar hot take to your's, except it's chicken little.

I really like Cars 2 too! It's definitely in my Top 3 Pixar films, alongside Monsters, Inc. and Inside Out. I have loads of reasons for loving it. The animation is a massive step up from the first Cars film, the soundtrack is exciting, Mater is sweet and lovable, Holley is cool, Mater and Holley are a cute couple, and I was much more invested in the spy plot than I was in the racing plot. Is it perfect? Not quite. I think tweaks could have been made to the plot to tighten it up. For example, instead of McQueen taking Mater's "advice" to go into the outside lane ahead of his better judgement, let's have McQueen snapping at Mater and his other crew members for their irrelevant jabbering, which makes him lose concentration on the race and allows Francesco to slip past him. Also, it probably wasn't a good idea to teach Mater the message of "Be yourself and just ignore anyone who objects to cultural insensitivity". Instead, the film should perhaps have delved deeper into how different the racing world is to the world of Radiator Springs, and noted that Mater, who's only ever lived in Radiator Springs (as far as we know), would need a bit more help to adjust to something like the Tokyo party. And maybe that help wasn't provided. Then we'd have more of a reason to feel sorry for him when McQueen yells at him, because it wasn't his fault that he wasn't taught how to behave. And McQueen's reflection in Italy would have felt more profound as he realises he shouldn't have been so hard on his friend. Plus, Mater's fish-out-of-water status would tie in to the Lemons' story and to wider themes of ableism. I suspect Mater is neurodivergent, possibly autistic - I'm autistic myself, so I can kind-of see bits of it in him. He's got a special interest (in old vehicles), he doesn't have the same sense of danger or restraint as his companions, he has no idea about social norms, and he doesn't know how to interpret conversations or make himself understood. For the Tokyo party, Mater clearly hadn't been given the reasonable adjustments he needed to cope in new situations; he didn't even realise drinks were free until McQueen told him. But Mater's not bitter about such oversights. Unlike the Lemons, who want revenge for all the name-calling and discrimination they've endured. If Pixar had wanted to go down the disability route, it would have set up a nice little contrast between the hero and the villains. Apologies for the long comment! Overall, Cars 2 may not be the most cinematically brilliant Pixar film, but I have so much fun with it, and I will always have fun with it.

I like it too. Overly criticized. Sometimes a movie can just be fun.

I like Cars 2, and so do plenty of my friends here on KZfaq.

@@teenageapple3788 The Corvette cameo isn’t concrete proof it happened, and you can handwave away the headlights by saying he got upgraded between films.

In Tokyo, they had a dirt section to give the rally car and advantage but the F1 car would have still blown by it on the paved roads unless the dirt section was super long, Mcqueen also being NASCAR based wouldn't have a chance at doing well on a rally section or on pavement against an F1 car either and that's not even getting into how there's also touring and sports cars in here.

@@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.

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.

Exactly what I think about the Cars trilogy. While Cars 1 & 3 can be enjoyed unironically, Cars 2 can be enjoyed more as a fast-paced spy action journey than as a movie that has the complexity of other Pixar films in terms of storytelling.

@@kieranstark7213 Ngl I really hate the third one 😭 if we just focus on Lightning’s plotline then we basically just have a movie on the start and end of his career. Sure we got his peak in the world Grand Prix but we could’ve fit so much more plot before the third movie :(

@@captainmarvelwilson508 ur opinion is trash

ya same i like it better than the other cars movies lool

If there is one way I can enjoy Cars 2, it’s just by turning my brain off and expecting the unexpected. Because even though it may be mean-spirited because of Mater acting even dumber than the franchise portrays him by being the Paul Brothers as a tow truck, one thing it has over what other bad Pixar movies that came after is that at least it never gets boring because of its insanely action-packed animation that makes it feel like a (barely) superior version of Bayformers. Sam Witwicky: NO! Tow Mater (outside of Cars 2 aka Mater’s Tall Tales: The Hundred Minute Adventure): YES!

Yeah and I love the movie. I mean Yeah when you compare the story and stuff to like cars 1. It doesnt sound as good but that was definetly the most fun to watch. Like every other car movie there was atleast one or two spots where Im like ”Damn Im kinda bored” while I didnt have one in cars 2. Usually when theres a boring scene I get snacks while its going on but with car 2 I paused it because there werent any boring moments for me.

That’s exactly how I feel. 😂

my thoughts exactly

i used to watch cars 1 RELIGIOUSLY when i was a youngin. i honestly still think it's a good film. and i was born two years after the original cars. yet i still watched it when i was little.

Same here. Me and my dad bonded a lot with these films. Even as an adult, I still have a special connection to these films out of nostalgia and happy memories with my dad.

@@explodingegg123 Same with me. Except I’m a year older than you.

@Jenifer's🍎____________💋 .-.

I loved soul

Soul was okay but not a repeatedly watchable movie. Kind of like Up was good but you don't go watch it again right away.

Yeah, it definitely doesn't belong in the "bad" category. I liked Soul, but I really loved the first 15 minutes. Seriously, maybe it's my adult brain, but the grounded story was amazing. Whenever the movie was set in NYC, it really shined for me. The abstract parts, in the afterlife, just didn't hit the same for me. And, I love the idea of an abstract journey through the afterlife! I think I wasn't ready for my Ratatouille vibes to leave so quickly.

@AbdulAzeem Shaikh To you

@AbdulAzeem Shaikh To you

@AbdulAzeem Shaikh Okay cool

Sorry, but I absolutely disagree on everything regarding the whole friendship stuff. I don’t know what exactly you mean, because they were always friends and McQueen just wanted Mater to be on his best behaviour, he didn’t want to shove him away. He was absolutely in his right to scold Mater for his actions. I don’t know what was complex about that. How am I supposed to feel bad for Mater, when he was constantly acting like an embarrassment to everyone in public whom never really laughed that much at him? I liked this movie as a younger teenager, even though I knew there was stuff wrong with it, but growing up, I absolutely hate it now. I think it teaches a terrible moral lesson that you should let someone do whatever they want even if it embarrasses everyone around you. Apparently, that is what McQueen was taught. They just drop the whole, ‘Mater is a fool’ thing by the end of the movie. Nostalgia just doesn’t fool me into enjoying crap like this.

It's because, when Mater came out the toilet in Japan, he saw Acer and Grem (who were beating up Rod, the real American spy) and instantly recognised them as a Pacer and a Gremlin. Rod would have heard Mater talking and thought, "Ah, this guy knows his old cars - he'll probably get the code phrase about the Volkswagen Karmann Ghia right. And he's American to boot! Well, I'm gonna die pretty soon 'cause the Lemons have got me, but if I pass on my intel to this guy, maybe the Brits will catch him ... and he might just save the world." Admittedly, that's something I had to piece together for myself; the movie doesn't tell us outright. Perhaps there should have been a scene after Mater finally gets Holley and Finn to see that he's not really a spy, where they all wonder how Mater ended up with the tracker on him. Holley could put the pieces theory together and say that Rod clearly saw potential in Mater, and that would give Mater a confidence boost.

@@roseanderson4982 so he was trying to get someone inexperienced in the spy world potentially killed? What a real hero.

@@harrisoncora4259 Well, we can't be too harsh on Rod. He was being beaten to a pulp. He probably wasn't thinking straight. Or maybe he knew all too well the risk of putting Mater in harm's way, but honestly thought the end (preventing the Lemons' scheme) justified the means.

I think he just didn't want a crucial bit of evidence to be taken away from him. Even if it meant planting it in a civilian. He probably just hoped his allies would notice and get the Intel from Mater and probably that would be the end of it. Though Mater ended up getting more involved then Rod expected because he was too dumb to notice Holly and Fin thought Mater was the spy and not a civilian.

@@nekonomicon2983 even then, I still feel like Mater getting involved was super contrived. How could Finn and Holley not see that he’s not a spy. Mater even tried explaining that he wasn’t.

Yeah, despite my love and nostalgia for this film, I have to agree with what the critics said about it. They intended to make a sequel, but it just doesn’t work. If it were something else, then nobody would hate it all that much.
