One small correction, the fire thing is actually pretty normal for oil rigs. It's a way to burn off certain waste products that can't be used or stored safely which are also gained while extracting oil.
Pixar usually does their research. If you see something like this in a Pixar movie and think it looks off, it's probably a good idea to look up whether it's a thing or not before jumping to conclusions.

Ok, there's Cars and Planes. Next, Disney should make "Trains". Once that universe is established they can make a crossover called "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles."
The original cars might not have had the effort or the ingenuity that came with Pixar magic, but it had enough charm because of the heartwarming Americana sentiments and that's what makes people get through it and enjoy it (as I admit I really did). This movie decides to throw that out and go with... spy movie parodies. WHUHHHHHHHHH?
5:40 Minor nitpick, but wasabi is in a different category from capsaicin-based foods like chili peppers--what makes wasabi spicy is actually Allyl isothiocyanate, and is the same thing that makes things like horseradish and mustard spicy. It's also water-soluble, unlike capsaicin, so drinking water would work there.
cars...? CARS?! CAAAAARS?!!! ANNNNNND IIIIIEIIIIIIEIIIIIIII WILL ALWAYS LOOOVE YOU!! DAMN IT PIXAR HOW CAN YOU DO THIS TO ME HEEEE HOW CAN YOU DO THIS TO MEEEEE?!!
Isabel Rentoul That's partially due to the fact that they made her a straight man to the new side characters, aside from arguably Hank, who basically fills the role that Marlin did in the first one.
How did Wall-E do worse than this shit?????? Wall-E is probably my favorite Pixar film... and it did WORSE than this???? ... Be right back, killing myself.
The same reason why Michael Bay movies do great and he can do another three transformers movies after butchering tmnt, while Steven Spielberg has to scrounge and beg in order to make Lincoln. Taste and quality don't seem to be a match for the lowest common denominator and simple cliche writing.
And after The Good Dinosaur we get nothing but sequels...yay. The Incredibles 2 (okay very excited there) Finding Dory Toy Story 4 And of course CARS THREEEEEEEE?!?!
+Hannah Cornell Pixar are also making a new original film called Coco based on The Mexican holiday Dia De Los Muertos (A.K.A The Day of The Dead). Though I do agree they have to many sequels lined up.
I liked the original cars. Sure it was a bit bland, but it also had timeless moments. Like the king's blow over, and McQueen's sacrifice for the king. Cars 2 though... ugh...
+24AMPER the first Cars is a great humbling story (mcqueen getting a much needed humbling before he finally achieves his dream and making friends in the process)
EVO6reviews It's true, but at least it does it's job well, cars is by no means a remarkable film but it's one you can legit sit down and enjoy once in a while... Unlike it's trainwreck of a sequel
+roler42 I loved Cars 1 when I was younger. It still wasn't my favorite Pixar movie (it was Finding Nemo, now Wall-E) but Cars 2 sucks. Pixar went from bad with Cars to to meh with Brave and stayed at meh with Monsters University. They rose to the greats again with Inside Out, though.
Besides that, here's one thing that confuses me. Lasseter stopped Disney from making sequels we had over the past ten years because they're crap. And yet, he makes a sequel to his own series. So he's kinda a hypocrite.
He went on record saying that Pixar would only create a sequel if they could come up with a good enough story to justify one. The two "Toy Story" sequels seemed to support that claim. THIS movie... does not.
Actually Lasseter does have an excuse. He wanted to expand the Cars universe. There are rumors that he loves the film. He even thought up the idea of a sequel while promoting the first film. Merchandising or no merchandising, there was always going to be a sequel.
@@theonliestrud5080 Marketing and brand names are usually why things like this happen. It's why well put together things don't do well while cheap crap becomes big.
Wall-E is just an adorable love story and race to save life on a devastated planet! Why is this horses**t I used to grow up with popular than cute robots!?
"And if people aren't taking you seriously, then they need to change." "This is why Americans have such a bad reputation in other countries." *slow clap* Bravo, good sir. Bravo.
Cars one was an absolute masterpiece in my opinion, but I can see why people don’t like it. Then again, maybe it’s just me looking at it with rose tinted glasses, seeing as how I idolized the franchise when I was younger.
I loved the first cars. Why did the second one sucked? Simple, because you took Mater, who is a supporting character, and made him the main character. You can't just switch characters roles like that.

"If people aren't taking you seriously, then they need to change." Okay, I actually don't hate this movie like most people do, but that line made me furious the first time I heard it. "Be yourself" does not mean "act however you want during any situation." You should be able to discipline yourself during certain situations. If not, you present yourself as someone who shouldn't be in the situation and people naturally don't take you seriously. But according to this movie, those people are just ignoramuses.
the moral of the film is this: do not let the opinions of others, changes the idea that you have of yourself. No "be idiot in every situations is okay!!1!1!"
Luci & Ombre The movie states it's moral outloud, which I quoted in my OP, and it is completely wrong in the context it's being used in. Mater was not only publicly embarrassing during a professional event, but he was actively causing Lightning to lose the race because he had no forethought of his actions, which to Lightning looked like he was just playing around. When people screw up and present themselves as a screw up, if that's not how they want to be seen, then they need to do something about how they are acting and how they're presenting, not the people reacting naturally to them.
It's true. Mater was wrong. He took too lightly the situation, and his behavior has humbled the person he loved most in the world, Lightning. The point is that he realized he was wrong. ( "Idiot? That's how you see me?" "It's like everyone seeing you"). When McQueen apologized and said to him "now, be spontaneous", he didn't say "now do the idiot again", but " I am your friend, and I know you're not just a fool. Believe in your abilities. " The contest isn't wrong, for me. it's normal: for live well in the society, everyone needs to change a little its own character, and this, Mater understands it, but changing totally or starting to hate yourself for the opinions of others, no. It's wrong. This is just my point of view. And, sorry for my english!
Um... Water is used as coolant in cars, so that wasabi joke does make sense; he's using water to cool him down. This movie is still a fucking mess though
2006-(sees an advertisement for Cars) "Wow a film about…...Cars?????? Well at least Pixar can't get any worse Ideas" 2013-(Sees an advertisement for Planes) "What the hell? Planes? WHo would watch that movie" 2014-(Sees an advertisement for Planes Sequel)-"Are you for fucking real Pixar?"
Planes & Planes: Fire & Rescue were not made by Pixar, but John Lasseter wrote the stories for both movies, and was the executive producer for Fire & Rescue. Still, good point.
This movie even fails as a toy advert. As they make the stupidest looking car the main character and give HIM all the cool gadgets. A kid looking for the next car toy to buy would still pick Mcqueen over flashy gadget Mater.
Actually pretty much all oil rigs have chimneys called flare stacks on them the spew fire. It's burning excess non oil byproduct because there really isn't a better (more cost effective) way of getting rid of it. Now you know
“Is he American?” ... “...extremely.” Okay, I admit. That was an unfunny stereotype. But as someone who lives in the UK but knows several annoying US southerners just like this, I do actually find that one joke quite amusing. Now then, I’ll be back in ten minutes to see how far the inevitable CZcams comment war has escalated. I’ll need popcorn. And tea.
@AlezanderNXthat is kind of the whole problem with the joke. It only works for foreigners who only know about texas stereotypes, or southern people who dont know about the rest of the US. Because 90% of America is the opposite of that.
I am an American and I thought that was funny too. 1 year later, there has been no escalating comment war yet for that comment, thank goodness! I am not here to start one now. December 19, 2020, 12:26pm
"Why does this movie exist?" Because they wanted a guaranteed profit that would have kids everywhere buying toys based on their movie. It was made to be a financial success, not an artistic one. It did exactly what it was meant to do, and it no doubt helped immensely in funding their other films. People who get mad over this movie REALLY miss the point. Not every movie sets out to be an artistic masterpiece for the whole family. Sometimes people just made movies to make money - and there is NOTHING wrong with that, as long as they keep making good stuff too.
19:30 ish How is a tow truck going faster than a racecar? Racecars are built to be fast on a track, which is what they are doing. Tow trucks are built to drag broken cars along behind them, therefore I don't think they're going very fast.
+MetroidSigma Which is so upsetting because the Pixar crew spent so much time studying silent films to focus on basic physical emotion rather than what you hear and people are too lazy to sit there and watch expression rather than hear it.
+Troll Breaker But I felt more work put into the entirety of Wall-E was worth more than hard work for the first ten minutes of Up as much as I love that movie
I watched Spies in Disguise today and I have 1 question: How is it possible that the creators of the Ice Age sequels are better at making a spy movie than PIXAR???!!!
Mr Enter originally considered Cars 2 (2011) the worst Pixar movie when he reviewed it in 2014, but then considered Brave (2012) to be the worst Pixar movie when he reviewed Brave in 2023 and when he re-reviewed Cars 2 also in 2023
brightfamia I completely disagree. Shrek 4 at least was decent and had an interesting plot about Shrek in an alternate universe. Shrek the Third on the other hand was just painful to watch. I mean, it was built up in the trailers as this epic climatic showdown between him and Prince Charming, which I admit at the time thought it would be as awesome as Shrek 2, if not better. And what did we get instead? A mediocre plot at best about Shrek finding a whiny loser high school student to take the place of the deceased king. Not to mention it had the absolute worst climax to any fairytale story EVER. I mean, wow... when you actually have villains actually listening to someone about not having to choose to be evil as the way to save the day, that is as low as you can sink. At least to this movie's credit when Mater tried that exact same crap, the villains were smart enough to not fall for that. Maybe this was Pixar's way of mocking Dreamworks for daring to try something that asinine.
Cars...? Cars?? CAAAAAARS!!!! AND IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII HOLY SHIT WILL AAAAAALWAYS LOOOOOOOOOOVE YOOOOOOOOOOU I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'RE DOING THIS TO ME GOD DAMNIT HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME?
101supertails I mean, what if after Toy Story, Pixar came out with a teaser trailer for Toy Story 2 but upon release day you were greeted with *TOY STORY CITY SIMULATOR?!* And then Edwin Catmull's ghost comes out and is like "Ehh, fuckin' WHO LIKES THE OLD TOY STORY, *AMIRITE?! BRB, MAKING FINDING NEMO: MODERN WARFARE!!!*"
SSofIreland I mean, what if after Toy Story, Pixar came out with a teaser trailer for Toy Story 2 but upon release day you were greeted with TOY STORY-FORMERS?! And then they turn on the projector and Edwin Catmull's ghost comes out and is like "Ehh, fuckin' WHO LIKES THE OLD TOY STORY, AMIRITE?! BRB, MAKING FIFTY SHADES OF NEMO!!!"
"Why are the oil rigs on fire?" They aren't. They're Flaring. Flaring is a controlled burn of natural gas that can be trapped with crude oil, caused by petroleum producers. It happens in wells drilled for natural gas, as well as during fracking.
It makes me really sad that this movie was shit in the end. It had such a great concept that I would have enjoyed very much. I loved the fact that they made cars talk and they had an entire realm of cars all of different makes and models.
At least Cars 3 turned out fairly well, in my opinion. They learned not to overuse Mater, the times he's actually used are actually done well, and it focuses on McQueen struggling to stay relevant. It's an interesting twist where the stubborn young jackass in the first movie is now aging and out of his prime, so to speak.
I think Cars 3 was horrible as well. Also, the supposed message was broken at the end anyway. Frankly, I don't see how even the first cars got so popular other than the fact its animated and children tend to be very indiscriminate about what they watch in regards to that.
Tech Romancer That's just it, though. The movie is not all that popular. I mean, I really like it and I liked the third, but neither really made waves at the box office. The overwhelming majority of the franchises success comes from the merchandising, as Mt. Enter pointed out. If anything, the movies are popular to...not necessarily hate, but dislike.
Makes sense. You see I work in retail, and I can't tell how much merchandise we're bombarded with that has Cars slapped all over it. Or Minions. I don't really follow box office stats, so I did assume that all the merchandising correlated with that. Which was pretty stupid of me.
In anycase, I've always thought Cars was one of Pixars most underwhelming and bland franchises ever. I never got the appeal of it, nor what exactly it was trying to get across. Even if I was a kid, I don't see why I would be interested in the toys, either. They're just cars with a face on them - that's it. Its utterly unimaginative.
Also, the ending REALLY bothered me too. It made no goddamn sense at all. A car that was for using traditional fossil fuels and against new alternatives sought to make an alternative fuel look bad... after INVENTING the alternative fuel himself. What if he just, oh, I don't know...didn't fucking invent it to begin with! I could see if, like, his twin brother or another car was inventing it to replace fossil fuels, and he had the inventor kidnapped or killed to pose as the inventor himself so he could sabotage it, but since NOBODY else was coming up with competition for fossil fuels, then why invent an alt. to sabotage at all?
You’re missing the point. The whole point of Axelrod inventing Allinol was to create a supposed alternative fuel, then sabotage the racers using said “alternative” fuel in an attempt to make alternative fuel look bad/dangerous, leading everyone else to turn back to gasoline, turning to the lemons, who possess the world’s largest untapped oil reserves, getting rich after all their years of mistreatment from society.
You know one of the worse things about this movie? the American agent car is voiced by BRUCE CAMBELL. Who hires BRUCE CAMBALL to say three lines and die fifteen minutes into a movie?!
wolfclaw719 Bethesda would. They hired Patrick Stewart to play a character in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion who disappeared very shortly after introduction and was never heard from again. They did the same thing with Liam Neeson in Fallout 3.
Michael Caine also played Austin Powers' dad, which just makes the casting even funnier. I'm actually kind of disappointed they didn't make his character a mini minor in this movie as an in-joke. "Wait, your spy car is a mini?" "It's not the size, mate - it's how you use it!"
You know, i'm surprised someone else besides me and my mother actually remembered how good the Austin Powers Trilogy was! Thanks! And the hippie van did give me Austin Powers flashbacks.
I'm not gonna lie, the twist involving Axelrod really did come out of nowhere. I mean, if there were more clues than leaking at a party, it would've been better. Like, maybe, if he had been dropping those bolts Mater mentioned, then that would've helped.
In Mr.Btongue's excellent critique of the Mass Effect 3 ending, he mentions that many plots take the form of "We must stop blank." The entry for Cars 2 reads *"We must stop merchandising revenue from falling during FY2011."* Cars was ok, but this sequel was clearly just to make some more money. They don't actually have a story to tell, as they did with the first one. This is my great fear with Frozen 2.
DownwithMarx true but frankly the protagonist was really weak. It isn't a coincidence that most people prefer Elsa or thought Elsa was the protagonist at first. Long story short this movie is problematic but the good music and beautiful animation saved it, I don't think the sequel will make it though...
Levi's Height Infires my Jams That's partly a pacing problem too. Elsa has the powers, is older and therefore becomes Queen, and the beginning is focused on her struggle to hide her power. She's also the one to go through the arc and really learn something. Anna just grows up a bit. It's actually a good example of the difference between "protagonist" and "main character."
The general view on the 1st Cars in 2006 is either okay or you can ignore it. It was just a small bump in Pixar's otherwise great reputation and in the 2000's, they were doing better than Disney who were losing a lot of money on a bunch of their animated films and didn't get better till towards the end of that decade.
Aah - fair enough. That's your decision, but if you ever do change your mind, do watch Big Hero 6. I don't think Disney are always the best company in the world, but that movie is brilliant and has been handled excellently.
I liked big hero 6 too but I have 1 problem with it, sorta,btw spoilers,at the end of the movie with the space portal area they forgot about how with every action there's an equal and opposite reaction because bmax could have shot his rocket fist in the opposite direction and gotten a better result than they got
a tow truck from arizona and his best friend, a race car, go around the world for a race competition. but the tow truck goes on a spy adventure and wacky hijinks ensues. i think
One of the most insulting things about this is that the "moral" of the story ("If people aren't taking you seriously, then THEY need to change!") sounds almost like it's aimed at the audience. "Yeah, we've put the most annoying character in the spotlight and even lowered his intelligence from the first movie. We're pretty much forcing you to laugh at him, so we can shake our fingers at you for doing so later. We're lacing the film with cultural jokes that are borderline offensive, all while we preach to your children about environmentalism and the evils of big business, even though we ourselves are a big business. And if you don't like what we're doing, well, YOU need to change!"
While I hesitate to defend a lukewarm, lackluster attempt of a movie, I would like to point out one speculation on Mr. Enter's point about Axelrod's engine. My guess is that the blue was supposed to be a surgical tarp. Seeing as an engine would be akin to a heart in the world of Cars, it seems likely that working on an engine would be treated as a surgical procedure. It doesn't change how many other cars are supposed to have that engine, and I certainly see why Mr. Enter had an issue with it, but I believe that's what they were going for.
I thought the scene where Mater realizes what an embarrassing doofus he has been was quite touching. There were a lot of bad elements in the movie but I think they did a decent job with his character's evolution.
+xXt0x1c-sl1m3Xx Who would draw that? I mean there is enough weird stuff on the internet why ad- wait no never mind how could I not have expected this, I need to go back to Internet Training and turn in my license... I should have seen that coming a mile away... *shudders* ugh...
Cars doesn't need another damn sequel. What about Monsters, Inc, The Incredibles, and A Bug's Life, huh, Pixar? These three classics have more potential for sequels than Cars ever did.
yeah this is Pixar's worst film, and honestly If I was in charge of Pixar and Paul Newman was Alive and we HAD to make a second film to Cars honestly I would have made it a prequel like Monster's University. It would be about Doc's fall from grace cause to me at least Doc was the best thing about the first film, and at least with that they could have gotten a far better story and a far more human feel for the characters.
That would definitely be an interesting premise, especially if people cared for seeing Doc's past. The sequel we got though is literally pointless, and only lives to make cash. -_-
Aaran Haughton yeah and and I probably put more thought into than the writers the actual sequel, and I used a plot point that already existed. I mean come on Pixar you're better than this.
That sounds like a way better movie than this random fail at spydom. Even though I'm not a fan of spy movies, this really feels like a slap in the face to typical spy movies that had humor and class to them.
That would actually be a pretty good premise. I can't recall a Disney Movie that would go like that, where the Protagonist actually doesn't get (back) their fame, but instead settles into a more content and mundane life. If Pixar did a film like that, I wouldn't mind revisiting Cars. As far as Paul Newman, I think they could write around it since Doc would be younger, and thus might justify a different voice.
Mr Enter, you should do an 'Animated Atrocity' on another animated sequel involving a spy angle released in 2011 called 'Hoodwinked Too! Hood VS Evil'. Its even more crappier than this.
***** Yeah. Even more than Cars 2. At least Cars 2 took better advantage of its spy angle, FAR better animation and at least didnt insult the first film as much as Hoodwinked 2.
Cars 2 and Hoodwinked 2 Pros and Cons differences Cars 2 Pros: -Very Detailed Backgrounds -Charater movements and texture move more realistically - Takes full advantage of its spy angel - more locations than the first one - Plot is less generic. Cons: - Main Character is not very intresting - Some Scenes do not connect to each other - Some actions to forward the plot is weak - WGP Racers are mostly stereotypes - Very Mean Villains for a Pixar film Hoodwinked 2 Pros: -Charather design is more easier to look at when compared to the first one. - Trys to continue its story form the first film, like a good sequel should Cons: - Lip Syncing is off most of the time - Bland Backgrounds - Old Charaters from the first one are either reduce to a pop culture Refrence, a running gag or redicliously dumbed down - New Charaters are more stupid than the original - Has pop culture references to *80's-90's RATED R films* (examples: Silence of the Lambs, Scarface, Goodfellas,ect) - Running Gags have a cruelty towards the charater they focus on - Does not take advantage of its spy angle - Story elements are either very stupid or make absolutely no sense, such as the build up to the Super Truffle - the most of the 2nd act is entirely pointless - Has a massive ego (Saying animation anylists have no life, saying Sequels of movies are better than books, calling food network the devil, Ect.) - several missed opportunities to forward the plot. The one I would rather watch is obviously Cars 2. Hoodwinked 2 was just a big complete sin in animation.
The original Cars is an out and out rip off of the movie, Doc Hollywood. Almost scene for scene in some cases. But it is sad that Pixar was on an absolute roll with Wall-E and Up, then just completely dropped the ball churning out crap. Toy Story 3 was good, but it went downhill after that.
5:40 Actually, that’s incorrect Enter. The sensation caused by wasabi/Japanese horseradish is not capsaicin-based, but rather from a more volatile form of allyl isothocyanate that can in fact be neutralized by water. Running to the closest water source, in this case, was indeed the smartest move Mater could have made to sate the spicy
Kenny McCormmick Hey, quick question: How do you revive after you die all of those times? And also, shouldn't Kyle and Stan be traumatized from the first time?
The twist of Axel being the villain was awful and made no sense. Maybe if the Italian car was the villain, and they gave him some sort of tragic backstory, like, “his parents where lemons, and they died because they weren’t making parts for said lemons anymore, and so he went full Robocop after a racing accident, leaving him so disfigured and scarred, he needed an engine/brain transplant into an F1 car”. That would’ve made more sense.
Sounds a hell of alot better. Why aren't you a professional level writer? You'd have made this movie actually work of that were the twist. I could legitimately see that working. I mean, how the hell does the CREATOR of Allinol end up being the real villian!? That's so fucking stupid, i seriously don't even know where to begin...
Raving Rando On the Brightside, I heard Incredibles and WALL-E are both getting sequels; and people have been asking for incredibles 2 for forever. So at least we have that to look forward to, right?
lexie jones I don't know. Just because Incredibles 2 has so much potential, doesn't mean it'll be any good. Also, WALL-E 2? How could that work? The story's complete. And the first one was an environmental film already: a sequel could be in serious danger of falling into Cars 2 territory.
Raving Rando WALL-E could work if they have a solid idea. As for incredibles, I have a good feeling about this. While this movie was made from marketing and a fan fiction; this is something that people WANT to see, and I don't think Lassader will mess it up. Like Enter said, Lassader is a good man.
I haven't seen either of the Cars movies but two thing I can say just based on the reviews. If the world is populated by sentient cars why did dinosaurs still exist? Why are there Americans, British, Germans and Japanese and other human nationalities? Couldn't they invent at least some fictional names for different cultures even if they would have modeled them after real cultures? And why do cars make wasabi? I like the idea of KITT and Transformers but my suspension of disbelief doesn't apply to these cars.
At 20:30 you mention that they couldn't kill off Mater in favor of toy sales. Bing Bong has a tragic death scene in Inside Out and they still got away with selling toys of him...which actually confuses me....also I really shouldn't be comparing Cars 2 and Inside Out, that's like comparing a shitty hotdog you bought at a gas station to a filet mignon.
I thought her name was Holly. _Holly_ Shiftwell, with like, an "H?" Is that sad that I know that? The only reason I had to watch this movie was because I went to one of those double feature drive-in theaters to see "Monsters University." I was stoked to see it. I just had to sit through this crap first before we could get to it.
Cars 2 is worse than Shark Tale in my opinion. I'm one of the few who actually enjoyed Cars okay, so Cars 2 was a slap in the face. Swap out our main character for the comic relief and then flanderize said comic relief into a complete idiot with no sense of decency or self-awareness, shove them into a convoluted plot that makes no sense, and throw in a rancid moral telling kids they should act obscene in public because everyone else is in the wrong for being offended, not them for acting entirely inappropriately. What a waste of good animation, and a thorough ruination of characters I previously enjoyed. At least Shark Tale was its own Finding Nemo ripoff and didn't ruin an existing franchise.

At least Mater wasn't a selfish smartass, and there was a sense of likability to him.
The irony when there's an ad for Cars 3 before a video bashing Cars 2.
@Alezander2002 never really watched it but something that doesn't involve humans in Pixar films shouldn't always be rated G
The original cars might not have had the effort or the ingenuity that came with Pixar magic, but it had enough charm because of the heartwarming Americana sentiments and that's what makes people get through it and enjoy it (as I admit I really did). This movie decides to throw that out and go with... spy movie parodies. WHUHHHHHHHHH?
5:40 Minor nitpick, but wasabi is in a different category from capsaicin-based foods like chili peppers--what makes wasabi spicy is actually Allyl isothiocyanate, and is the same thing that makes things like horseradish and mustard spicy. It's also water-soluble, unlike capsaicin, so drinking water would work there.

At least the "making-the-comic-relief-the-main-character-of-the-sequel" concept worked out pretty well in Finding Dory...
Isabel Rentoul well he made this before the movie
Carl Bloke I know
Isabel Rentoul that's because they didn't try to keep her as the main comedy and made her short term memory loss a disability
Isabel Rentoul That's partially due to the fact that they made her a straight man to the new side characters, aside from arguably Hank, who basically fills the role that Marlin did in the first one.
They did both. She is the more relatable main character as a result of both expanding on the foundations of her character and adding new comic relief.

I'd say skin since otherwise thats like saying they have no skin and must wear clothes because their organs have no protection of otherwise
@@mirraisnow6050 that's what film theory says that the cars r living creatures
Besides that, here's one thing that confuses me.
Lasseter stopped Disney from making sequels we had over the past ten years because they're crap. And yet, he makes a sequel to his own series. So he's kinda a hypocrite.
He went on record saying that Pixar would only create a sequel if they could come up with a good enough story to justify one. The two "Toy Story" sequels seemed to support that claim.
THIS movie... does not.
Actually Lasseter does have an excuse. He wanted to expand the Cars universe. There are rumors that he loves the film. He even thought up the idea of a sequel while promoting the first film. Merchandising or no merchandising, there was always going to be a sequel.
Planes was worse
Planes is always worse.
and the sequel of planes was EVER WORSE
Wait, there was a SEQUEL? Oh lord
yup, it made cars 2 look like a Mona Lisa😁
Philip J. Fry oh yeah that was the one with the planes which drop water on fires yeah I saw the 2nd half of it, yup it was a load of shite
The thing is that Cars 2 isn't even that bad.
But the fact that PIXAR made it makes it seem 10x worse. They're literally the best.
It’s probably Disney that forced Pixar to do this
I actually like this movie alongside planes it's not a heart wrenching masterpiece but it's entertaining

How do cars reproduce? Is it like Robots, where they literally build the baby?

THEY DON'T FUCKING REPRODUCE

redloiyu654jay They build the baby from a box of parts.

+Andrew Addams I keep thinking of the movie Robots. They just build the baby
"If people aren't taking you seriously, then they need to change." Okay, I actually don't hate this movie like most people do, but that line made me furious the first time I heard it. "Be yourself" does not mean "act however you want during any situation." You should be able to discipline yourself during certain situations. If not, you present yourself as someone who shouldn't be in the situation and people naturally don't take you seriously. But according to this movie, those people are just ignoramuses.
+Shady Doorags One of the worst lines I've ever heard.
the moral of the film is this: do not let the opinions of others, changes the idea that you have of yourself. No "be idiot in every situations is okay!!1!1!"
Luci & Ombre The movie states it's moral outloud, which I quoted in my OP, and it is completely wrong in the context it's being used in. Mater was not only publicly embarrassing during a professional event, but he was actively causing Lightning to lose the race because he had no forethought of his actions, which to Lightning looked like he was just playing around.
When people screw up and present themselves as a screw up, if that's not how they want to be seen, then they need to do something about how they are acting and how they're presenting, not the people reacting naturally to them.
It's true. Mater was wrong. He took too lightly the situation, and his behavior has humbled the person he loved most in the world, Lightning. The point is that he realized he was wrong. ( "Idiot? That's how you see me?" "It's like everyone seeing you").
When McQueen apologized and said to him "now, be spontaneous", he didn't say "now do the idiot again", but " I am your friend, and I know you're not just a fool. Believe in your abilities. "
The contest isn't wrong, for me.
it's normal: for live well in the society, everyone needs to change a little its own character, and this, Mater understands it, but changing totally or starting to hate yourself for the opinions of others, no. It's wrong. This is just my point of view. And, sorry for my english!

"Why does this movie exist?"
Because they wanted a guaranteed profit that would have kids everywhere buying toys based on their movie. It was made to be a financial success, not an artistic one. It did exactly what it was meant to do, and it no doubt helped immensely in funding their other films.
People who get mad over this movie REALLY miss the point. Not every movie sets out to be an artistic masterpiece for the whole family. Sometimes people just made movies to make money - and there is NOTHING wrong with that, as long as they keep making good stuff too.
And _Cars 3_ turned out to be good. :)

How did this movie make more than Wall-E....
+TheClockworkgal Wall-E is a fantastic movie, but people in the present times can't handle anything without Voice Acting, that is why.
+MetroidSigma Which is so upsetting because the Pixar crew spent so much time studying silent films to focus on basic physical emotion rather than what you hear and people are too lazy to sit there and watch expression rather than hear it.
+TheClockworkgal But Up made more, and its first ten minutes are some of the best scenes in all of animation.
+Troll Breaker But I felt more work put into the entirety of Wall-E was worth more than hard work for the first ten minutes of Up as much as I love that movie
TheClockworkgal True, I did too, but those first ten minutes of Up are stronger on an emotional level.
You know, your phrase; "What I'm doing is wrong, I know it's wrong, but I'm going to do it anyway." Sums up the writers thought process.
I watched Spies in Disguise today and I have 1 question:
How is it possible that the creators of the Ice Age sequels are better at making a spy movie than PIXAR???!!!
I don't know ask Pixar
Mr Enter originally considered Cars 2 (2011) the worst Pixar movie when he reviewed it in 2014, but then considered Brave (2012) to be the worst Pixar movie when he reviewed Brave in 2023 and when he re-reviewed Cars 2 also in 2023
You should do an animated atrocity of Shrek the Third.
Really? Shrek 3 Was Bad
sean bedell It was really lame and forced.
sean bedell
Shrek 3 was bad, but its still better than the fourth in my opinion.
brightfamia I completely disagree. Shrek 4 at least was decent and had an interesting plot about Shrek in an alternate universe.
Shrek the Third on the other hand was just painful to watch. I mean, it was built up in the trailers as this epic climatic showdown between him and Prince Charming, which I admit at the time thought it would be as awesome as Shrek 2, if not better.
And what did we get instead? A mediocre plot at best about Shrek finding a whiny loser high school student to take the place of the deceased king. Not to mention it had the absolute worst climax to any fairytale story EVER.
I mean, wow... when you actually have villains actually listening to someone about not having to choose to be evil as the way to save the day, that is as low as you can sink.
At least to this movie's credit when Mater tried that exact same crap, the villains were smart enough to not fall for that. Maybe this was Pixar's way of mocking Dreamworks for daring to try something that asinine.

"Why are the oil rigs on fire?"
They aren't. They're Flaring.
Flaring is a controlled burn of natural gas that can be trapped with crude oil, caused by petroleum producers. It happens in wells drilled for natural gas, as well as during fracking.
It makes me really sad that this movie was shit in the end. It had such a great concept that I would have enjoyed very much. I loved the fact that they made cars talk and they had an entire realm of cars all of different makes and models.
At least Cars 3 turned out fairly well, in my opinion. They learned not to overuse Mater, the times he's actually used are actually done well, and it focuses on McQueen struggling to stay relevant. It's an interesting twist where the stubborn young jackass in the first movie is now aging and out of his prime, so to speak.
I think Cars 3 was horrible as well. Also, the supposed message was broken at the end anyway.
Frankly, I don't see how even the first cars got so popular other than the fact its animated and children tend to be very indiscriminate about what they watch in regards to that.
Tech Romancer That's just it, though. The movie is not all that popular. I mean, I really like it and I liked the third, but neither really made waves at the box office. The overwhelming majority of the franchises success comes from the merchandising, as Mt. Enter pointed out.
If anything, the movies are popular to...not necessarily hate, but dislike.
Makes sense.
You see I work in retail, and I can't tell how much merchandise we're bombarded with that has Cars slapped all over it. Or Minions.
I don't really follow box office stats, so I did assume that all the merchandising correlated with that. Which was pretty stupid of me.
In anycase, I've always thought Cars was one of Pixars most underwhelming and bland franchises ever. I never got the appeal of it, nor what exactly it was trying to get across.
Even if I was a kid, I don't see why I would be interested in the toys, either. They're just cars with a face on them - that's it. Its utterly unimaginative.
Also, the ending REALLY bothered me too.
It made no goddamn sense at all.
A car that was for using traditional fossil fuels and against new alternatives sought to make an alternative fuel look bad...
after INVENTING the alternative fuel himself.
What if he just, oh, I don't know...didn't fucking invent it to begin with!
I could see if, like, his twin brother or another car was inventing it to replace fossil fuels, and he had the inventor kidnapped or killed to pose as the inventor himself so he could sabotage it, but since NOBODY else was coming up with competition for fossil fuels, then why invent an alt. to sabotage at all?
You’re missing the point.
The whole point of Axelrod inventing Allinol was to create a supposed alternative fuel, then sabotage the racers using said “alternative” fuel in an attempt to make alternative fuel look bad/dangerous, leading everyone else to turn back to gasoline, turning to the lemons, who possess the world’s largest untapped oil reserves, getting rich after all their years of mistreatment from society.
You know one of the worse things about this movie?
the American agent car is voiced by BRUCE CAMBELL.
Who hires BRUCE CAMBALL to say three lines and die fifteen minutes into a movie?!
wolfclaw719 Whoever casted Congo.
He mentioned that in his video
***** Oh crap I've been spelling it wrong this whole time?!
wolfclaw719 Maybe he knew what he getting involved in, and wanted as little to do with it as possible.
wolfclaw719 Bethesda would. They hired Patrick Stewart to play a character in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion who disappeared very shortly after introduction and was never heard from again. They did the same thing with Liam Neeson in Fallout 3.
Michael Caine also played Austin Powers' dad, which just makes the casting even funnier. I'm actually kind of disappointed they didn't make his character a mini minor in this movie as an in-joke.
"Wait, your spy car is a mini?"
"It's not the size, mate - it's how you use it!"
You know, i'm surprised someone else besides me and my mother actually remembered how good the Austin Powers Trilogy was! Thanks! And the hippie van did give me Austin Powers flashbacks.
I'm not gonna lie, the twist involving Axelrod really did come out of nowhere. I mean, if there were more clues than leaking at a party, it would've been better. Like, maybe, if he had been dropping those bolts Mater mentioned, then that would've helped.

Taking at shot everytime someone has the urge to correct MrEnter about the oil rig thing. I actually died, this is my ghost talking to you all.
In Mr.Btongue's excellent critique of the Mass Effect 3 ending, he mentions that many plots take the form of "We must stop blank." The entry for Cars 2 reads *"We must stop merchandising revenue from falling during FY2011."*
Cars was ok, but this sequel was clearly just to make some more money. They don't actually have a story to tell, as they did with the first one. This is my great fear with Frozen 2.
Frozen's story isn't that great to begin with, just imagine the horror we are going to get from the sequel.
Levi's Height Infires my Jams Hey, give it credit for the protagonist staying the protagonist instead of being saved by the side character.
DownwithMarx true but frankly the protagonist was really weak. It isn't a coincidence that most people prefer Elsa or thought Elsa was the protagonist at first. Long story short this movie is problematic but the good music and beautiful animation saved it, I don't think the sequel will make it though...
Levi's Height Infires my Jams That's partly a pacing problem too. Elsa has the powers, is older and therefore becomes Queen, and the beginning is focused on her struggle to hide her power. She's also the one to go through the arc and really learn something. Anna just grows up a bit. It's actually a good example of the difference between "protagonist" and "main character."
The general view on the 1st Cars in 2006 is either okay or you can ignore it. It was just a small bump in Pixar's otherwise great reputation and in the 2000's, they were doing better than Disney who were losing a lot of money on a bunch of their animated films and didn't get better till towards the end of that decade.
Cars 2 wasn't an atrocity by everyday animated movie standards, but by Pixar standards, it was.
Uh...quick question.
HOW IN THE HELL ARE TOY STORY AND WALL-E SO LOW IN THAT LIST?!
I hope Big Hero 6 succeeds - it's freaking amazing.
Aah - fair enough. That's your decision, but if you ever do change your mind, do watch Big Hero 6. I don't think Disney are always the best company in the world, but that movie is brilliant and has been handled excellently.
I know right?
I liked big hero 6 too but I have 1 problem with it, sorta,btw spoilers,at the end of the movie with the space portal area they forgot about how with every action there's an equal and opposite reaction because bmax could have shot his rocket fist in the opposite direction and gotten a better result than they got
I see what you mean, but I guess Baymax wasn't designed to use scientific theories to help Hiro and Abigail. But I love that you've thought of that :D

One of the most insulting things about this is that the "moral" of the story ("If people aren't taking you seriously, then THEY need to change!") sounds almost like it's aimed at the audience.
"Yeah, we've put the most annoying character in the spotlight and even lowered his intelligence from the first movie. We're pretty much forcing you to laugh at him, so we can shake our fingers at you for doing so later. We're lacing the film with cultural jokes that are borderline offensive, all while we preach to your children about environmentalism and the evils of big business, even though we ourselves are a big business.
And if you don't like what we're doing, well, YOU need to change!"
While I hesitate to defend a lukewarm, lackluster attempt of a movie, I would like to point out one speculation on Mr. Enter's point about Axelrod's engine.
My guess is that the blue was supposed to be a surgical tarp. Seeing as an engine would be akin to a heart in the world of Cars, it seems likely that working on an engine would be treated as a surgical procedure. It doesn't change how many other cars are supposed to have that engine, and I certainly see why Mr. Enter had an issue with it, but I believe that's what they were going for.
Also, I didn't think Francesco, the Italian racer, was a villain, but rather an antihero.
...he was still an asshole, though. In my opinion, at least.
The funny thing is, Mr. Enter, is that Cars 2 made less than Cars.
._.
I thought the scene where Mater realizes what an embarrassing doofus he has been was quite touching. There were a lot of bad elements in the movie but I think they did a decent job with his character's evolution.
Actually, there are shippers.
A lot of them.
I used to know one.
*shudders*
+sonicawesomeness What was the one?
I don't remember their username thank god, but they drew Car porn a lot. It was... just.... weird.
Imagine two cars dry humping each other.
Basically that. But they came up with 'car anatomy'. I'm not going into details. x_x

Cars doesn't need another damn sequel. What about Monsters, Inc, The Incredibles, and A Bug's Life, huh, Pixar? These three classics have more potential for sequels than Cars ever did.
Monsters Inc did get a sequel, well a prequel but I know what you actual mean
+BaconBurger 41 As much as I liked Monsters University, The original could use a real follow ip
Just wait until Cars 3 :P. And yeah, it's been confirmed lol.

How do cars come about in the Cars universe? Do they have sex and then the females pop out babies? What organic life became oil for them?
Spontaneous generation
yeah this is Pixar's worst film, and honestly If I was in charge of Pixar and Paul Newman was Alive and we HAD to make a second film to Cars honestly I would have made it a prequel like Monster's University. It would be about Doc's fall from grace cause to me at least Doc was the best thing about the first film, and at least with that they could have gotten a far better story and a far more human feel for the characters.
That would definitely be an interesting premise, especially if people cared for seeing Doc's past. The sequel we got though is literally pointless, and only lives to make cash. -_-
Aaran Haughton yeah and and I probably put more thought into than the writers the actual sequel, and I used a plot point that already existed. I mean come on Pixar you're better than this.
Joe Geary Well you already succeeded with the premise.
That sounds like a way better movie than this random fail at spydom. Even though I'm not a fan of spy movies, this really feels like a slap in the face to typical spy movies that had humor and class to them.
That would actually be a pretty good premise. I can't recall a Disney Movie that would go like that, where the Protagonist actually doesn't get (back) their fame, but instead settles into a more content and mundane life.
If Pixar did a film like that, I wouldn't mind revisiting Cars. As far as Paul Newman, I think they could write around it since Doc would be younger, and thus might justify a different voice.
Mr Enter, you should do an 'Animated Atrocity' on another animated sequel involving a spy angle released in 2011 called 'Hoodwinked Too! Hood VS Evil'. Its even more crappier than this.
***** Yeah. Even more than Cars 2. At least Cars 2 took better advantage of its spy angle, FAR better animation and at least didnt insult the first film as much as Hoodwinked 2.
Cars 2 and Hoodwinked 2 Pros and Cons differences
Cars 2
Pros:
-Very Detailed Backgrounds
-Charater movements and texture move more realistically
- Takes full advantage of its spy angel
- more locations than the first one
- Plot is less generic.
Cons:
- Main Character is not very intresting
- Some Scenes do not connect to each other
- Some actions to forward the plot is weak
- WGP Racers are mostly stereotypes
- Very Mean Villains for a Pixar film
Hoodwinked 2
Pros:
-Charather design is more easier to look at when compared to the first one.
- Trys to continue its story form the first film, like a good sequel should
Cons:
- Lip Syncing is off most of the time
- Bland Backgrounds
- Old Charaters from the first one are either reduce to a pop culture Refrence, a running gag or redicliously dumbed down
- New Charaters are more stupid than the original
- Has pop culture references to *80's-90's RATED R films* (examples: Silence of the Lambs, Scarface, Goodfellas,ect)
- Running Gags have a cruelty towards the charater they focus on
- Does not take advantage of its spy angle
- Story elements are either very stupid or make absolutely no sense, such as the build up to the Super Truffle
- the most of the 2nd act is entirely pointless
- Has a massive ego (Saying animation anylists have no life, saying Sequels of movies are better than books, calling food network the devil, Ect.)
- several missed opportunities to forward the plot.
The one I would rather watch is obviously Cars 2. Hoodwinked 2 was just a big complete sin in animation.
They made a sequel to Hoodwinked? I have fond childhood memories of the first. Should I stay away from the sequel?
Theaggyyu It's really awful and one of the worst sequels ever made. And as I said before, it's Cars 2 done a million times worse.
Hoodwinked 2 was fucking terrible.
Wall-E had a lower gross income than Cars 1 and 2? What kind of messed up BS is that!?
Cars is a masterpiece.
Cars 2 is underrated.
What will happen to Cars 3?
Seriously, what is with all the Cars hate?!
I actually kinda liked Cars 1. Also the fire thing for oil rigs is totally normal. It burns off excess gas, or something.
The original Cars is an out and out rip off of the movie, Doc Hollywood. Almost scene for scene in some cases.
But it is sad that Pixar was on an absolute roll with Wall-E and Up, then just completely dropped the ball churning out crap. Toy Story 3 was good, but it went downhill after that.
And MU??That movie was great.
proto245
Well that was a better one in their more recent times.
***** Oh good to know.
Downhill? What other mistake besides this did Pixar make?
Larger Seagull This and brave.
Zoolander2 and Cars2 are the same
Sequel with spies and Owen Wilson
5:40 Actually, that’s incorrect Enter. The sensation caused by wasabi/Japanese horseradish is not capsaicin-based, but rather from a more volatile form of allyl isothocyanate that can in fact be neutralized by water. Running to the closest water source, in this case, was indeed the smartest move Mater could have made to sate the spicy
To be honest I liked the original Cars movie. I guess that's what they call a guilty pleasure
Yup
Kenny McCormmick Me too
Same here.
Kenny McCormmick same for me
Kenny McCormmick Hey, quick question: How do you revive after you die all of those times? And also, shouldn't Kyle and Stan be traumatized from the first time?
I have finally declared TheMysteriousMrEnter... the Cinema Sins that explains why it's truly a sin...!
The twist of Axel being the villain was awful and made no sense. Maybe if the Italian car was the villain, and they gave him some sort of tragic backstory, like, “his parents where lemons, and they died because they weren’t making parts for said lemons anymore, and so he went full Robocop after a racing accident, leaving him so disfigured and scarred, he needed an engine/brain transplant into an F1 car”. That would’ve made more sense.
Sounds a hell of alot better. Why aren't you a professional level writer? You'd have made this movie actually work of that were the twist. I could legitimately see that working. I mean, how the hell does the CREATOR of Allinol end up being the real villian!? That's so fucking stupid, i seriously don't even know where to begin...
Cars 3 is what cars 2 should’ve been.
Oh, you mean good? Or you mean, somehow worse?
and then we got planes...
And then that got a sequel.
lexie jones And soon, even that sequel will receive a sequel. Alongside Cars 2's sequel.
Someone make it stop!
Raving Rando On the Brightside, I heard Incredibles and WALL-E are both getting sequels; and people have been asking for incredibles 2 for forever. So at least we have that to look forward to, right?
lexie jones I don't know. Just because Incredibles 2 has so much potential, doesn't mean it'll be any good.
Also, WALL-E 2? How could that work? The story's complete. And the first one was an environmental film already: a sequel could be in serious danger of falling into Cars 2 territory.
Raving Rando WALL-E could work if they have a solid idea. As for incredibles, I have a good feeling about this. While this movie was made from marketing and a fan fiction; this is something that people WANT to see, and I don't think Lassader will mess it up. Like Enter said, Lassader is a good man.
"Is he American?"
"Extremely."
I wont lie, I chuckled. Mainly due to how out of the blue the movie just insulted texans.
I laughed because I'm American.
I haven't seen either of the Cars movies but two thing I can say just based on the reviews. If the world is populated by sentient cars why did dinosaurs still exist? Why are there Americans, British, Germans and Japanese and other human nationalities? Couldn't they invent at least some fictional names for different cultures even if they would have modeled them after real cultures? And why do cars make wasabi? I like the idea of KITT and Transformers but my suspension of disbelief doesn't apply to these cars.
MsDjessa maybe the dinosaurs are cars like how there are tractor animals but yeah maybe the minivans can take the place of the Asians
In Italy someone made a toon like cars but set in prehistorical times where dinos were scapers,cranes etc...it is called DinoTrux
This movie isn't that bad to me. But I do respect your opinion
+Press start Cars: Mission Spy
Same here.
It should be called jumping the shark, becasue we want to sell toys.
I thought this movie was pretty decent.
I loved it as an 11 year old. I don't despise it now that I'm older, but I'm probably not going to watch it much (if ever again).
At 20:30 you mention that they couldn't kill off Mater in favor of toy sales. Bing Bong has a tragic death scene in Inside Out and they still got away with selling toys of him...which actually confuses me....also I really shouldn't be comparing Cars 2 and Inside Out, that's like comparing a shitty hotdog you bought at a gas station to a filet mignon.
Whoa man spoilers.
+My57 Take a guess -_-
spoiled it D:
dude. spoilers. :/
+My57 that's not so weird. I once said 'Jane, get off the toaster!' To my cat.
Sadly enough, Cars 2 wasn't a money based thing, Lasseter just has more faith in these Cars movies than anyone else
I highly disagree/don't believe that unless you have some proof of it?
Ruth Ellen That's just what I heard
+JodoKastRules321 Mindless hearsay.
+Scsigs Don't be an ass. :3
I'm just saying.
I thought her name was Holly. _Holly_ Shiftwell, with like, an "H?" Is that sad that I know that?
The only reason I had to watch this movie was because I went to one of those double feature drive-in theaters to see "Monsters University." I was stoked to see it. I just had to sit through this crap first before we could get to it.
It is Holly.
He's just referring to her as "Polly" either because he doesn't know her name, he doesn't care, or it's a pun off something.
Holley.
Girl-spy protagonist-crush name is "Holly" with an "ey".
Cars 2 is worse than Shark Tale in my opinion. I'm one of the few who actually enjoyed Cars okay, so Cars 2 was a slap in the face. Swap out our main character for the comic relief and then flanderize said comic relief into a complete idiot with no sense of decency or self-awareness, shove them into a convoluted plot that makes no sense, and throw in a rancid moral telling kids they should act obscene in public because everyone else is in the wrong for being offended, not them for acting entirely inappropriately. What a waste of good animation, and a thorough ruination of characters I previously enjoyed. At least Shark Tale was its own Finding Nemo ripoff and didn't ruin an existing franchise.
I agree. This is proof that John Lasseter needs to be fired.
PinkCharmander I really enjoyed Cars 1 but Cars 2 was awful
MegaSoulHero So what. He made a little mistake. He doesn't need to be fired for It. Plus, the worse Cars 2 can get Is Mediocre.
Well, The Good Dinosaur Would Have Better Emotions than Shitty Cars 2
