Central Cars 2 Discussion

Crabby the boat 8D 8D It just sounds really funny. I guess the line “This place makes the Bermuda triangle look like a kiddy pool. They say out here is where the ocean burns” was delivered by this guy. Finn McMissile is so cool, he has a plane, a train, and a boat working for him.

The trailer looks exciting, in my opinions. It shows hints of heart for the story, not only the spy or the race sides of it. And the lack of toilet joke is a big plus :mrgreen:

Well, I liked the boat.

And I wonder if my negativity towards the trailer has somewhat to do with me not watching the movie on June… :cry:

Spirit: Case of sour grapes, amigo? :slight_smile:

You just read my mind! God, I really want to do a trailer fan edit now just to show Pixar how it should be done! I’m so frustrated. :frowning:

Spy’s gotta have contacts, ya know? :wink: Who’s the train again?

While Pixar certainly knows what it’s doing, the question is: Will ‘what it is doing’ be good?

As for the “they’ve made 11 films before, therefore the next one will be good” statement, it is a flawed argument according to probability theory. Just because a penny landed Heads 11 times before doesn’t mean the next flip will be a Tails. Of course, Pixar is not as random as a penny toss, but it does have a lot more variables to take into consideration, and the next is not a guaranteed success just because Pixar had a winning streak. The future is never certain, we can only make predictions and assumptions.

Even my cynicism is also a prediction, it might come true, it might not. We will only know for certain once we see the final product.

I know some people who would argue otherwise, but in a nutshell, this is an opinion, not a fact.

Agreed. Pixar is a very courageous company, although its reliance on sequels for films and shorts is miffing me a bit. And of course, Pixar Canada to produce TV shows much like what Dreamworks is doing.

Not trying to pick on you, Lover_of_Fiction. I usually like to offer alternative opinions here, and I agree with some of your points.

Crabby the Boat? Hmm, sounds like he’d be kind of a crabby character judging by the name. :stuck_out_tongue:

I seem to recall on the Blu-Ray commentary for Cars that they wanted to work boats into the film, but weren’t able to. Guess that’s what he’s for.

Mater’s bow-tie lisense plate defintely made the trailer for me.

Hey guys look a italian trailer with new scenes:[url]CARS 2 - Trailer VF PIXAR DISNEY - YouTube

Mater does something really embarresing towards the end of the trailer…

And I’m getting more and more suspicous about this Miles Axelrod character… :confused:

I won’t see this one, cause I’ll feel worse.

But yes, of all suspicious characters, the one I’ve always suspected the most is Axelrod.

I like how this trailer focuses more on Italy.

LOL! That trailer was alright, would have been better in English though. :stuck_out_tongue: I know this totally out there but for a split second it crossed my mind that I think Holley and Finn would make a cute couple. 8D As for the finale trailer…I don’t understand all the hateful comments? It’s a trailer for heaven sakes. Many people seem to be ripping it to shreds…I can only imagine when the movie comes out. o_0

MissCarrera:Nah,Finn’s too old for her…but then again so is Mater…

Guys,just asking why are we crtiqueing a Trailer? :neutral_face:
No offence but,It makes no sense…

Hahaha! I know, but looks wise they would make a kinda cute pair. Age wise I don’t think so. :stuck_out_tongue:

Yeah… :stuck_out_tongue:

Agreed. I couldn’t care less about the quality of the trailers. As long as the movie is good, I’ll be happy.

That’s awesome!

I need that soundtrack now.

I love Cars so much. You know, it’s things like that which just make me fall in love even more. <3 Each and every day. :slight_smile:

That was amazing.

A few reasons:

  • They feature scenes from the movie. Some may not be included in the final product, but most are. So when we critique a trailer, we are by extension critiquing parts of the movie as well.

  • Even saying positive things about the trailer (“This looks really good, this is why I <3 Pixar, I can’t wait to see Sally in more scenes, that music was so AWESOME”) is a form of critique. So if one posts anything about the trailer beyond simple description (ie one’s subjective view or opinion) that is already critiquing the trailer.

  • Critiquing a trailer does not mean that it will result in the critiquer making the same opinion about the final product. I might hate the trailer, but eventually be won over by the final product. Or not. The future is never certain, although it is interesting to try to make predictions and assumptions based on the current information we have.

  • Why not? It is fun, and as long as one doesn’t simply focus on the negative aspects and includes some parts that were enjoyable about the trailer, it is perfectly fine and common-sense to critique a trailer.

Caring about the quality of the trailers also shows your concern for the studio’s well-being. It’s like a mid-term report card. If there are weaknesses or shortcomings that come through in the trailer, it is valid to make a criticism so that other potential viewers are aware of what they’re in for, and in the case of months-in-advance teasers, so that the studio can make any last-minute adjustments.

Pixar has held preview screenings and made last-minute story changes before. While it is highly unlikely Pixar will make any changes this late into production, it is always good to provide feedback, as it is not impossible that an employee might trawl through here (this is, after all, the biggest and most well-known Pixar fan forum in existence) to get a taste of the ‘grapevine’. If anything, Pixar could take on board our feedback (both positive and negative) for its future productions.

Besides, the reason a trailer is put out in the open is to advertise their product to potential viewers. The fact that Pixar is trying to sell this movie and earn our money means that we have the right to voice any objection or concerns before our purchase. Just like how when we walk past a restaurant and we talk with our friends about the food and prices while staring at the menu. Only this restaurant changes the menu every year. We don’t blindly go, “You know what? This restaurant has never disappointed me before, and I liked last year’s beef goulash. So let’s just go in and order this year’s kimchi and fried locusts without hesitation.” We debate and discuss- Does the kimchi look appetising? Am I willing to pay ten bucks for a plate of fried locusts, etc.

Same principles apply here. We have every right to express doubts and reservations about a future movie, just as much as we have the right to express our confidence and faith in it. :slight_smile:
