I think Mater has been annoying them for a while. They
were just waiting for the right moment to strike.
Haha – but, of course! If someone tried to
“steal” my flowers, overload my residence with organic fuel cans, and scare the living daylights out of
me, I would certainly want to get revenge…in a nice sort of way. I do it all the time with my sister – heheh.
I wonder if Mater still
continued to play tricks on the people of Radiator springs.
Hmm. I’m not sure. I
suspect that he was a little spooked for a while, after the little “ghostlight” incident; however, I’m
sure he went back to his dasterdly plan after a certain amount of time.
And if he pushes it too far, I would imagine the other
Cars would get back at him, but with an even more terrifying monster.
Well, the
“Screamin’ Banshee” did show up on the scene; although, Mater seemed rather oblivious to him, didn’t
he? Perhaps the bigger the monster, the less Mater is scared of it? 
I guess Mater was so scared of the name “Screamin Banshee”, he forgot
to snap into reality.
Haha – yeah, maybe. 
I just
thought it was funny that the thing was right in front of him, and yet…Mater thought that it was just another
random car/truck…
Well, like I
said, he still hasn’t snapped back into reality after hearing the name.
Indeed. I suppose
that he was so frightened after the ghostlight incident that he didn’t come to his senses when the
“Screamin’ Banshee” showed up. He hadn’t “snapped back into reality”, as you put it.
I think I just said that.
Yeah, I just worded it
differently. (snigger)
Heheh – my apologies. I love to ramble.
That’s okay. But all and all, MATGL was pretty good.
[b]The Star
Swordsman[/b] - Thanks. And yes, I agree. Mater and the Ghostlight has to
be – in my opinion – one of Pixar’s best shorts yet. It certainly is one of the funniest…
Well, I didn’t really find it humorous. I found it
cute.
For me the screaming banshee at the end was a bit of an anti-climax. I thought he was
gonna freak out again. But it was a funny one, that’s for sure. 
I always thought it was a good
ending. It made me think a bit.
This is one of the
better short films, though Lifted might also be on that list. Verry funny! I especially like the ending of the
film. Great humor throughout. I would rate this an 7.5/10.
Really? I wouldn’t expect to hear a guy call a feature/short “cute”,
but I suppose I was wrong. No offense.
Bill - Welcome to
Pixar Planet, Bill!
Yes, I believe that Lifted
will probably be “up there” on my list, as well. From the pictures I have seen – and the positive news
I have heard of it – it sounds great.
Although, sometimes I wish there could be more to the short. Maybe add an extra two minutes?
