A fairly disastrous sequel...

It's an example of what a sequel should, or at least can, be.

Cars 2 is marginally better than its predecessor, but the same problem still remains: Cars just aren't very interesting as anthropomorphic animation vehicles (pun intended).

Don't tell the kids, but Santa Claus isn't real and Pixar is fallible.

...by Pixar's outrageous standards of Oscar shoo-in virtuosity, this sequel is a disappointment at best.
January 02, 2013
Unlike the duller than duller "Cars," this is better than the toys they sell along with it.

Despite a more interesting plot, Cars 2 still leans on a number of problems established in the first film -- specifically leading men, Lightning McQueen and Mater.

Minor Pixar, but it would be a major film were it made by just about anyone else. I, for one, will not get greedy.
June 30, 2013
Undoubtedly flawed, this animated film is still (barely) worth seeing.
January 29, 2012
Cars 2 is a very messy concoction, but it does prove entertaining every once in a while.
July 19, 2011
Time, perhaps, for the franchise to be towed off to the scrapyard. Sorry, Pixar.

Larry the Cable Guy has helped make Mater one of Pixar's sweetest creations. He just happens to reside in the studio's least-magical franchise.
