Are they supposed to make a cars short film? 
Lightning&Sally - Well, itâs rumoured (link). My personal opinion is that there notâŠbut I think many people would differ. 
Wait, they made Mater and the Ghostlight already. Does this mean theyâre making another one?
Bill - Apparently it would be in front of Wall-E.
I would be happy to see another Cars short film. I would love to revisit the characters again.
Who wouldnt be happy to revisit them? That would be fun to see. Iâd definitely enjoy that.
Iâm gonna be honest here: I wouldnât want Pixar to do a Cars short film, just because I donât want Pixar to start repeating themselves. There was Mater and the Ghostlight which was pretty good, so isnât that enough?
And I donât think Pixar would put it in front of Wall.E anyway, because it would break their tradition of premiering original short films in front of their feature films. I really want Pixar to continue to do new projects and stories, but while also continuing on old stories that merit the sequel treatment, every once and a while, as with Toy Story and The Incredibles.
But if they were to do it, I do see Pixar premiering a new Cars short online, maybeâŠ
I think Iâll have to side with rachel on this matter. Pixar Animation Studios is about originality, is it not? It would also puzzle and annoy me if they broke their tradition of doing things, well, traditionally. Heh.
I have also heard tell that a Cars 2 is in progress. If this is, indeed, true, I will encounter a road block, one that spells the name âdisasterâ on it. Now, donât get me wrong here. Iâm sure that Pixar would be able to make the feature itself a great one. Itâs just that⊠Well⊠Wasnât one enough? Eheh.
Je is confused.

Iâm siding with rachel and Mitch as well⊠Pixar really shouldnât make another Cars short film, they donât really need to. Like rachel , I donât like the idea of Pixar repeating themselves at all, be it short films or features. As Brad Lewis said, " You canât repeat yourself, you have to keep going forward." Okay, thatâs not exactly what he said, but itâs close enough⊠heheheh.
I agree with all three of you. I honestly would rather see an original film/short or even a different sequel before I saw a Cars 2 or a Cars short. However, I trust Pixar believes they have a story good enough to make any of these - if indeed they are true.
Cars 2? Oh, no⊠I hope not.
Iâm probably going to be a bit biased here because I wasnât that much into this particular Pixar film, but with Toy Story 3 coming up, and The Incredibles 2 possibly on the horizon, Pixar should continue to come up with original stories like they are doing now.
I really donât think Cars is the right type of movie for a sequel, anyway. You know how there are âsequelâ movies, and ânon-sequelâ movies?
Exactly. Cars seems to fit into the latter position, if I do say so myself. I sure hope that Pixar isnât going down the tubes, so to speak. shudders

Eh, I doubt it. I trust Pixar knows they have a good - no, great - story up their sleeves for Cars 2. After all, having a solid story in line before you make a sequel is like the eleventh commandment for them! 
This is even coming from me, somebody who has Cars on the bottom of their favorite Pixar list.
Gasduude - I suppose youâre right in that aspect. Pixar does seem to know what they are doing with it comes to story, thatâs for sure. I even remember Mr. Lasseter stating that a decent and solid plot-line is the studioâs biggest priority when it comes to film-making, thank goodness. Hopefully, it shall stay that way for a good period of years (Iâm betting my money on a never-ending date line).
The thing is, even with a great story, (and I know Iâm gonna be hated for saying this 
) the characters in Cars are, IMO, a bit limited. Lightning learned a lot in the original film, as did Doc, but apart from that, it seems as though most of the characters didnât go through much of an arc, so to speak. I personally think Pixar would be better off focusing on new characters in a completely new world.
lizardgirl - I definitely have to side with you there. They should âkeep moving fowardâ instead of back-tracking; not that back-tracking is a bad thing, but stillâŠ
Oh sure but if it was another movie like the Incredibles nobody would be complaning,No fair!
I would really like it if they made a Cars short, but I highly doubt they will, considering that most of the shorts (at the front of the films) are extremely random, and in most of the newest ones, none of the characters talk. Itâs a good idea, though⊠
Sorry L&S, but I think many of us here would have to agree The Incredibles was a much better film and has alot more sequel options than Cars, heheh.
The Incredibles was a lot more layered and had more possibilities to expand upon the characters and story, unlike Cars. As much as I would want to see an Incredibles 2, if there was an Incredibles short attached to the cinema release of a new Pixar film, I would have the same reaction, as with the supposed new Cars short discussed here.
