lucasisking - You’re welcome for the welcome – heheh. :slight_smile:

I think one

reason why Cars didn’t really blow people away was because of two factors, one

being the characters and the other being the human-car “relationship”.

The characters, to me,

didn’t seem as intriguing or “loveable” as those in, say, Toy Story or

Finding Nemo. Believe me, it has nothing to do with their metallic bodies – heh.

It’s just that their personalities were…I dunno…not as “strong”, I suppose. Don’t ask me why,

as I can’t quite explain it myself.

As for the second topic, well…I guess people just can’t relate to

cars as much as other inanimate objects. Toy Story - everyone played with toys as a

kid; A Bug’s Life - we’ve all interacted with a bug at one point or other;

Monsters Inc. - most kids have a fear of monsters; [i]Finding

Nemo[/i] - fish are part of our life, in a sense; The Incredibles -

they’re people…so it’s pretty self-explainatory.
But cars? Well, we drive in them everyday and we see

them everywhere, but we can’t really relate to them as living beings. Toys is another matter – we love them so

much that they seem real to us. Even Ratatouille seems more realistic than

Cars, as we know what rats and what their relation to us is.

But yeah – I

don’t know. :stuck_out_tongue:

Gasduude - Haha – I like your class system! Too bad

Finding Nemo is at the bottom of your list, though. Oh well… It’s your list.

:slight_smile:

I agree with you Mitch.

Expanding on what you said, I think for me the

problem was heart. The other Pixar?s all had a morality ?message?- but the message was subtle, heartfelt and

laced with humour, fun and satire. But the message of Cars (small town values bringing more happiness than

bright lights & fame/ arrogant git on a learning curve etc, etc) had all the subtlety of a ten-ton truck. It

was like: Hey people here?s the MESSAGE- make sure you don?t miss the MESSAGE.

Another reason that some

others have picked up on is the ?reality? issue. Naturally, they are all fantasies, but the other movies all had

some kind of anchor in reality- and the characters all had personalities you could relate to. My family ARE the

Incredibles- minus the superpowers. Sometimes my wife & I argue like Marlin & Dory etc.

etc.

Sorry Cars fan?s- it seems like I?m bashing the movie but I?m really not- just trying to explain why

some people feel it?s not the best.

lucasisking - Oh no – it did have heart! It just was a little

more subtle than the other Pixar films, like you said. I still felt for the characters; oh yes, I felt for

them…that’s for sure. It’s simply that the “feeling” wasn’t as strong as in some of their past

productions/features (ie., Finding Nemo or [i]The

Incredibles[/i]).

There were really no family relationships in

Cars either, which made it rather hard to relate to in some ways.

Other than

that – it’s a great movie. :smiley:

I’m definately keen to give it another chance- the first time I saw it there were some great moments that

come to mind. Just love the bit where the little forklift changes McQueen’s tyres in the blink of an eye-

leaving Chick’s team open mouthed in awe! Classic!!

Hey, sorryMitch! Finding Nemo just didn’t do it for me.

:confused: Don’t get me wrong, I loved it, but it just didn’t feel like the other Pixar films somehow.

I wanna

love it! I really do! I just can’t!!!

:confused: :confused: :confused:

This should have been a poll, in any case I think

everyone knows my fav Pixar Movie.

#49

I think it could’ve been a potential pool, but I like to see other’s opinion

instead of the most popular.

#50

CARS is my favorite movie ever, not

just limited to Pixar Movies. I love the story, I love the Characters and I love the humor.

Funny thing

is I am not crazy about the other pixar movies, I mean I like them but they are no where near my top

favorites.

#51

[b]My favorite movie

ever is Spider-Man 1&2 and then Cars. :smiley: [/b]

#52

Heehee – Great choices Spidey,

great choices! :smiley:

#53

[b]Yeah I

can’t wate till the S-M3 comes out can you? :smiley: [/b]

#54

Nope! Me neither! :smiley:

#55

I think I have said this on a post before, but I like

Cars tooo Even though it is my second favorite Pixar movie, number 2 is still a pretty good rating overall. I

love the music, the story, the characters, and finally, the racing scenes.

#56

[size=92]Cars changed my opinion of REAL cars completely. :laughing: Well, it’s partially thanks to my

big brother who loves real cars, but this movie… just transformed my vision of vehicles. And now I’m starting

to grow on American cars from the 70’s a bit more than imports.[/size]

#57

I have always been into

cars (and cartoons) so this movie was perfect for me. I knew I was going to love it even before it was released

in theatres.

#58

Cars was okay. It was pretty good. Not the best Pixar film though.

#59

Bill - Yep, that seems to be the general

consensus…

Bill:

Really? What Pixar film do you think is the best?
