Just saw this at the site link, and not that impressed.
This is the first Pixar film that doesn't exist in a "believable" world.
I mean, the Toy Stories had moving toys in an everday world, Bug's Life had insects in an everyday world, Monsters were imaginary characters that lived in THEIR everyday world (and did have an impact in our world) and Nemo and The Incredibles are the closest yet to actually living in the real world.
But with Cars, it seems to break the mould a little too much. I never read anywhere that there were no humans in it, though that does ring a bell, but thought this might be a "when the humans aren't around" type story where the humans and the cars egos match up in some way (or where one car falls in love with another but their owners don't get on).
Now we have very believable vehicles acting in very non-believable ways, the eyes are those all-too-eager-too-please Pixar eyes, and the double-act has returned.
I love Pixar, and I love the stuff they put out. We get the Incredibles here in a couple of weeks and I can't wait.
But am I the only one who thinks, coming after that with Cars, that Pixar is starting to look old, samey and, dare I say, boring?
