Cars Short film

Cars 2? Oh, no… I hope not.

I’m probably going to be a bit biased here because I wasn’t 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 don’t think Cars is the right type of movie for a sequel, anyway. You know how there are “sequel” movies, and “non-sequel” movies?

Exactly. Cars seems to fit into the latter position, if I do say so myself. I sure hope that Pixar isn’t 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! :stuck_out_tongue:

This is even coming from me, somebody who has Cars on the bottom of their favorite Pixar list. :wink:

Gasduude - I suppose you’re right in that aspect. Pixar does seem to know what they are doing with it comes to story, that’s for sure. I even remember Mr. Lasseter stating that a decent and solid plot-line is the studio’s biggest priority when it comes to film-making, thank goodness. Hopefully, it shall stay that way for a good period of years (I’m betting my money on a never-ending date line). :wink:

The thing is, even with a great story, (and I know I’m gonna be hated for saying this :laughing:) 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 didn’t 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 “keep moving foward” instead of back-tracking; not that back-tracking is a bad thing, but still… :stuck_out_tongue:

Oh sure but if it was another movie like the Incredibles nobody would be complaning,No fair! :stuck_out_tongue: :confused:

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. It’s a good idea, though… :slight_smile:

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. :wink:

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.

rachel: Bird left the possibility of a sequel for TI after the movie. In fact, at the end, he left the audience wanting more.

So as much as a Cars short sounds good, I think it stands trong where it is.

Well,in my opinion the Incredbiles wasn’t all that.I don’t care how much the movie made or other stuff as long as its a movie that I like. :sunglasses: :stuck_out_tongue:

Well, yeah, people’s interpretations of movies are subjective. But when you have film critics saying that The Incredibles is a better movie, and more layered than other Pixar films, it would suggest that it is more deserving of a sequel than some other Pixar films, such as Cars.

I can see how all the Cars fans would want a sequel since they loved the first film, but you have to step aside and think “Will this be the best decision for Pixar? Does Cars really need/deserve a sequel? Can the characters be expanded upon, or did the first film pretty much cover it?” Maybe then you will come to a different conclusion…

I don’t know why, but that made me laugh. :smiley:

I wouldnt mind another Cars short (although it would be different to have 2 shorts for the same movie). I’ve probably said something to this affect before, but I’ll reiterate. :slight_smile: I certainly wouldnt complain about having a Cars 2, but only if the story was as good as or better than the original. I’d hate to see a sequel that was mediocre which would end up putting a damper on the original for me. If that were the case I’d want to see Cars just as it was, you know, without thinking “and then they made that sequel which really wasnt that good” Not that I’d think they’d do that! I trust Pixar to know when they have a good story. I dont think they’d even bother with a Cars 2 unless they came up with a really good story to do. (Plus, since Paul Newman has “retired”, would Doc Hudson even be there? Since he was my favorite character and all, I’d certainly want him to be.)

I don’t! :stuck_out_tongue: The Incredibles didn’t do anything for me! But then again super heroes have never had any appeal to me.
Personally I would love both a Cars 2 and a new Cars short film. But of course I want the story to be a good one, I don’t want a sequel for the sequel’s sake; it must be unique. Sequels shouldn’t just milk the original film for all the parts that were great, it should be original :slight_smile:. And if anyone can make a great and original sequel it’s Pixar :smiley:.

Thank you :slight_smile: ,and didnt yall say something about not repeating if they make an Incredbiles 2 thats repeating.

You’re welcome LightingandSally :slight_smile:. We supporters of a Cars 2 just have to stick together :wink:.

Not if there is a good storyline, and the characters can grow and the story can evolve to a higher level, which The Incredibles is very capable of doing given the depth of the first movie. Cars was a good movie and all, but I just don’t think it has the same potential for a great sequel, like The Incredibles does.

I’ll rather see a short film for Finding Nemo than another Cars short film.

Merry Christmas, eveyone! That was random, wasn’t it? XD
