These videos make me so happy, especially the vlogs. This is an odd thing to say, but I just think it's really cool seeing how much fun you all have together. I'm a shy person and I hope to someday get over my nerves and make a close group of friends.
It would be tough to top Gravity Falls or The LEGO Movie: The Second Part, when it comes to Mad Max parodies in kid-friendly media, but it could be entertaining.
Want to say for a video that was obvioulsy put together in like a couple of days, it still has really good editing and pacing. the opening with Jenny Nicholson and Blues Brother is maybe in my top 5 best bits you ever did. You never half ass it.
Fun fact: Michael Keaton's character from the first movie has a completely different voice actor in this movie. I'm sure that has nothing to do with Keaton now being an Oscar nominee and soon-to-be supervillain who no longer has to resort to doing crappy family films to pay the bills. Nope. Not a thing.
The Mummy would have given you a lot of comedy material to work with it was pretty hilarious . I guess Universal decided to throw all of their theme park related movies into one summer.
that intro aged like wine,made me wish they revealed how much of a pig he was in post production for cars 2,so he can fork off and let the movies after cars 2 alone.
11:00 - Given months after Cars 3 what was revealed about Lasster and the atmosphere at Pixar at that time, this message makes a whole lot more sense as a written act of patting themselves on the shoulders while artists lower ranking were neglected and shamed in such ways.
It's not marketing that made Disney do Cars 2...It's all Lasseter. The Sequels, the theme park land, the non-Pixar Planes spin-off, all Lasseter's idea. Also yay briberry! love her Character videos.
There are so many things this movie could have done but that would have taken, you know...effort. 1. Show Lightning actually ENJOYING acting as a teacher instead of it coming out of nowhere. 2. Have Lightning be put on the new training methods before the crash and think that something's missing, the crash as a result of him not meshing with the training (instead of it being patronizing) 3. Everything mentioned in the video about how Cruz's character could have been fixed. Everything. 4. Show that Cruz's success comes from not just learning techniques from older racers but the theory she's learned as well. Show what WORKS from the newer training instead of being 'all this newfangled technology don't work' 5. Imply the reason the villain loses is because Cruz has the ability to improvise and he doesn't, entirely based off melding both older and newer methods of training. Other complaints: - Did someone on the writing staff for this movie REALLY hate Sabermetrics becoming a thing in baseball? - "The numbers never lie" Any statistician with even minor credibility will acknowledge you can make the numbers tell you whatever you want. - We're just going to drop the whole PTSD thing from this movie, aren't we?
I agree with the comment about the lemon cars in cars 2. it just felt really mean spiritied. it's a kids movie, I can forgive it for being stupid if it maintains the fun, but like the lemon cars was just sad. I felt sorry for them. they clearly have no health insurance or suppport and are like a minority being builled and the car universe discrimantes against them :(. such a weird concept. fuck that shit.
Oh snap, Brianna Garcia is in your vid?! That's awesome! I'm with Luke Ski, I like Cars 2: I enjoy it far more than Brave and The Good Dinosaur(Which I find them to be Pixar's worst).
Weird how you guys were able to off the cuff figure out how to improve and fix the movie's opening when the Pixar team couldn't crack it with a couple years working on it. Funny how that works.
I'm surprised you guys disliked Cars 3 so much. I thought Cars 3 was the best Cars movie so far, and even made me think that there actually could be room for a Cars 4 that I'd actually be intrigued about. (Because I certainly was not going in with high expectations for Cars 3) It was a nice experience.
The original Cars was a shockingly okay movie. As someone who will watch (well, listen to) a review of a movie I've never even heard of if it's a Midnight Screenings episode, I approve of any post-viewing-review done from the dashboard.
It seems to me like every time Pixar hypes up the emotions of something, it tends to disappoint. For example before Good Dinosaur and Cars 3 the directors of those films were like “Oh my God, these movies are going to make you cry so much you’ll feel dehydrated.” Guess what? Both of those movies were weak. With Inside Out and Coco the directors of those movies said “This movie is mostly fun. Maybe you’ll cry only a little.” Try getting through either of those without crying.
The attraction: All of the "Exploration Land" between Tomorrow and Fantasy (Matterhorn/Subs/Autopia/Monorail) is replaced by a second Cars Land for Disneyland. To distinguish it from DCA's, it will all be themed around Cars 2. Yes, that includes Monorail. Instead you'll have to ride your car into the park, drive it onto the monorail track and try to drive around the resort. Disneyland is not responsible for any resulting vehicular damage or fatalities.
honestly the 1st half isnt to bad it sets up things well and it is still a godsend to us who liked the 1st film after the 2nd film i recommend people who enjoyed the 1st film to see it but those who didn't see it should wait until the Netflix release also the 1st film sorta had a pixar point like you mentioned in the begging of the video its supposed to be about a full of him self racer learning about humbleness and slowing down and enjoying life
I have a feeling I'm not the first to say this, but what you guys came up with was a much, MUCH better movie than what we apparently got. (Also, BRI-CHAN!! 😄💖)
They could've easily recast Doc Hudson too, and I know that because THEY DID for Radiator Springs Racers. Corey Burton did Doc's voice in that ride, and it's so dead-on that the first few times I rode it, I swore Paul Newman must've recorded it before he died. An infinitely better match than Not George Carlin anyway. I don't object to recasting in principle, the favoritism here just personally pissed me off.
I thought this film was fine, but yes, I agree fullheartedly with you guys on how little attention the car crash they devoted every ad to got and that cop-out ending, which completely contradicts the film's theme. Not to mention they really missed a serious opportunity with Jackson. He's basically what Lightning was like in the first film, which could have been a great way to help develop him, but not once does Lightning ever acknowledge that this guy is basically the embodiment of how he used to act.
It is unfourtunate that the movie igonor the sexism issue. How can society move Ford if we keep Dodge-ing these questions. I mean Jesus Chrysler people! Then again it's just a movie, no need to get Bentley our of shape. Just we need better female roles, because girls, Yugo.
At least, it just a movie instead of, you know, art. We like criticizing art, but movies aren't art. It is just entertainment that doesn't create an emotional impact and doesn't deserve to be criticize beside the fact it is either good or bad art because that is the only criticism is worthwhile apparently. By the way, when people talk about representation in art, they are really criticizing the artform. Just so you know. I wanted to make this funny smartass comment to a bunch of your car puns, but I don't know a lot about cars, I really really hate this argument, and it generally shows that the person doesn't realize that they really do not think movies are art.
My what's the attraction: the kids and millenials in the losing car get vilified and called assholes while the millenials in the winning car are called heroes but not really, the real heroes are the adults that got off halfway through to ride that simulator that was mentioned.
oi! I'll defend Cars 2! sure, it's not as dramatic, heartfelt or even down to earth as the examples you made, but hey: *IT'S ABOUT CARS!!!* i wasn't gonna think it was gonna be the next Citizen Cane, i knew what i was getting into. also, most of the examples you shown were needless (mater goofing off), semi important (mater dealing with the info stashed under him from the spy car, possibly causing him to gas) or a plot point (yeah, him "leaking" was a plot point). also, in terms of the tone of both films: Cars 1 is about taking life slow and steady then just "eh~ Route 66 is the best~" and Cars 2 is about excepting those that are different than you and sometimes those people have unique abilities that help like say~ Mater's whole adventure during that movie! he wasn't a spy and his no scholar, but he helped by his knowledge of cars. look, Tony, I like your show when I like you, but when you're talking about a movie, at least try to make good points. heck I'll even agree that Cars 2 is the worst Pixar movie they have, but that still Pixar: it's still good.
also, i don't beliece Cars 3 is "copying" Toy Story. Buzz wasn't trying to be the best, he was oblivious to him being a toy so had no reason to try. Woody was just worried his title as favorite toy would be taken. he was jealous.
The moments I picked were the moments that made me ashamed to be watching the movie. Mater being a jackass for no reason, piss and fart jokes, and fucking State Farm product placement. Blech. My problem with the "taking life slow and steady" message of Cars is that the movie never really explains philosophically why that's BETTER than being a cool race car; the only virtues it portrays in it are tied inextricably to the aesthetics of small rural towns along route 66. And, hey, if that's your thing, that's cool, I see the appeal. It's an excellent feature-length commercial for route 66 road trips, but as a movie, if it had any universal themes, they didn't connect that well. There's a reason why people remember tearing up at "When She Loved Me" and Sulley telling Boo "Kitty has to go now" and the first five minutes of Finding Nemo and the first ten minutes of Up, but not so much at Cars' "Our Town" sequence. As for Cars 2, no movie about "accepting those that are different than you" should spend as much time as it does mocking "lemons" for being inferior. And being knowledgeable about cars shouldn't be an excuse to act like a complete jackass, which Mater does through the whole movie (and Lightning loses his first race because of it). Are those good enough points for you?
"but hey: IT'S ABOUT CARS!!! " Pretty much sums up the whole series so far... The fact that it's 'about CARS' is all that CAN be said about such unimaginative, below PIXAR's usual standards, no need for it to exist crap.
I enjoyed Cars 3 better than Cars 2, which isn't hard, considering Cars 2 is pretty bottom of the barrel when it comes to Pixar films, but nothing has knocked The Good Dinosaur out of that lowest notch on the totem pole yet. Bland, uninteresting and nowhere near as enjoyable as I hoped it would be, at least Cars 3 delivered on the FUN aspect of Pixar movies. I have to disagree though, it is not suitable for children judging by how many restless kids were in my showing of the film. The adults had more laughs out of it than the kids, I really do not think this would be suitable for younger children, even the 9 and ten crowd might get bored with it. I was a day late and a dollar short to comment on this video, but better late than never. Also Coco will do exceptionally well because of the Frozen fanatics desperate for anything new, and as we all know Olaf's little adventure is playing in front of Coco because Disney ADVERTIZED it...How surreal was that? Nobody advertises shorts or makes them anymore.
Is the twist more or less obvious than the one in Wreck It Ralph? Cuz apparently the Wreck It Ralph Twist was completely fucking obvious and I'm the only adult in the world who didn't get it
"Twist" was honestly the wrong word. It was more that by a certain point, you knew EXACTLY how the story was going to end, and none of it was surprising.
Blues Brothers 2000. It's not as amazing in context - it goes on for like three fucking minutes and becomes nothing more than "here's another car. And another one! And another one!"
Man! Disney really loves to screw George Carlin! First they canceled the production of Totally Twisted Fairy Tales that had him as one of the voices, then they cast him in Tarzan 2 and Cars, and finally they don't pay tribute to him in Cars 2 after his death by hiring a bad impersonator of him for his character from the first Cars movie. I think we can all watch his stand up of Mickey Mouse more times to honor and respect him than what Disney has done to him.
You need a trigger warning for those Up & Toy Story 3 scenes. Enter me, crying uncontrollably on the floor in fetal position, hoping the toys are still alive and hoping Mr. Frederick isn't still home alone depressed. 😂
Tony Goldmark I do my best to keep all of that in the way back corners of my mind. As most ending of the Pixar films do. Well, except for the Cars franchise. That just flows right out.
Cars 3 argubly isn't much a Comedy pers say, at least compared to 2 , and even 1. (No joke in this movie is as bad as "He did what in his cup?"). It is more focused on the comeback story and slowing down by building that up, like what the first sort of did. It's just not quite dramatic or great enough to be a drama so it's a tad stuck tonally in that way.
I love the first Cars. And I loved Cars 3 when I saw it last week, it took me back to my childhood. I was 12 when the first one came out and I've kind of gotten used to the fact that most people and critics tend to disregard the franchise as legitimately good Pixar fare. I won't defend the second film but I will say that I find it far more entertaining than Brave, which just bored me to tears (even as a huge Pixar fan).
Speaking of animated movies, there is a really interesting video by Rebeltaxi where he theorizes why Disney came to rely on 3d animation. You should really check it out. ruclips.net/video/ED0ySD51Z2U/видео.html
I think they're mediocre. Brave, The Good Dinosaur and Cars 3 are all mediocre (I know a lot of people put Monsters University in that list too, but I actually kinda liked it). Cars 2 is the only Pixar movie that ACTIVELY PISSED ME OFF.
Brave and The Good Dinosaur are both tonally all over the Goddamn place, and neither have interesting-enough stories to justify that. Likely a result of switching directors midway through production in both cases.
Tho I will agree it's still esoteric I believe the message to Cars is less "isn't Route 66 awesome" and more "get your head out of your ass and appreciate the bigger picture." Lightning learns to stop focusing on just winning and enjoying the energy of the race. He learns to stop focusing so much about speed and just enjoy the drive and the places it takes him. Route 66 itself is actually a decent allegory for this, as Sally explains that back in the 50s driving wasn't about getting to a destination. It was about enjoying the ride along the way. "The road didn't cut through the land. It moved WITH the land."
42:35-42:38 "A few extra shekels" OH, so YOUR people can say that word, but not us Gentiles?!?!? Double standards, me thinks. #WhyCantGentilesSayThatWord #TonyGoldmarkIsRacistAgainstGentiles
@@TonyGoldmark lol I was more saying that as a joke and to get you an additional comment on your video. But thank you for the reply lol. Hope you had a great day.
"I don't understand why people dislike 'CARS'...cartoon cars have been around since the 1940's!" And they have never been a source for a full FEATURE FILM, with good reason. They are dull as hell, unimaginative in design, and limited in appeal only to fans of CARS. The film series IS the weak point in PIXAR's legacy, for just those reasons. "Hey, let's slap a big, obvious face on a car...instant character for a film!" Plus, Larry the Goddamn Unfunny Cable Guy. 'Nuff said. 'CARS' sucks.
These videos make me so happy, especially the vlogs. This is an odd thing to say, but I just think it's really cool seeing how much fun you all have together. I'm a shy person and I hope to someday get over my nerves and make a close group of friends.
From The Creators of Some Jerk With A Camera comes: Some Guy On A Message Board. Thursdays this Fall.
I Have A Weird Beard Right Now is the name of your Weird Al Tribute Album where you parody his parodies.
Holy shit you know Brianna Cherry Garcia??? I've been following her work for years, that's so cool!
"Who is that artist, I don't think I know herHOLY SHIT IT'S BRI-CHAN!"
Would be interesting if the next Cars sequel was a Mad Max parody.
Dunes8 Two Car enter One will leave
Now THAT I'd be excited to see!
Dunes8 Cars 4: Mad Mater!
It would be tough to top Gravity Falls or The LEGO Movie: The Second Part, when it comes to Mad Max parodies in kid-friendly media, but it could be entertaining.
Mad Max: Massive Car-nage.

That opening really made me realise how bad of a car I am. Thanks for really opening my eyes to the truth.
I can't believe Tony didn't laugh at the simulator scene. I was almost in tears laughing.
And "The Man Who Knew Too Little" ripped off "North by Northwest."
11:00 - Given months after Cars 3 what was revealed about Lasster and the atmosphere at Pixar at that time, this message makes a whole lot more sense as a written act of patting themselves on the shoulders while artists lower ranking were neglected and shamed in such ways.
It's not marketing that made Disney do Cars 2...It's all Lasseter. The Sequels, the theme park land, the non-Pixar Planes spin-off, all Lasseter's idea. Also yay briberry! love her Character videos.
Well the franchise return have just as much justification to do so many projects.
Lasseter had good instinct at one point, right?
I wonder if Cars 2 was Pixar trolling Disney for forcing them to make a sequel.
It wasn't.
There are so many things this movie could have done but that would have taken, you know...effort.
1. Show Lightning actually ENJOYING acting as a teacher instead of it coming out of nowhere.
2. Have Lightning be put on the new training methods before the crash and think that something's missing, the crash as a result of him not meshing with the training (instead of it being patronizing)
3. Everything mentioned in the video about how Cruz's character could have been fixed. Everything.
4. Show that Cruz's success comes from not just learning techniques from older racers but the theory she's learned as well. Show what WORKS from the newer training instead of being 'all this newfangled technology don't work'
5. Imply the reason the villain loses is because Cruz has the ability to improvise and he doesn't, entirely based off melding both older and newer methods of training.
Other complaints:
- Did someone on the writing staff for this movie REALLY hate Sabermetrics becoming a thing in baseball?
- "The numbers never lie" Any statistician with even minor credibility will acknowledge you can make the numbers tell you whatever you want.

I agree with the comment about the lemon cars in cars 2. it just felt really mean spiritied. it's a kids movie, I can forgive it for being stupid if it maintains the fun, but like the lemon cars was just sad. I felt sorry for them. they clearly have no health insurance or suppport and are like a minority being builled and the car universe discrimantes against them :(. such a weird concept. fuck that shit.
Oh snap, Brianna Garcia is in your vid?! That's awesome!
I'm with Luke Ski, I like Cars 2: I enjoy it far more than Brave and The Good Dinosaur(Which I find them to be Pixar's worst).
Cars 2 sure was a bumpy ride. 🚗
Yeah, it's been more than 5 years since then. Time does... race by. Eh? Eh?
these car puns are getting tireing.

Thank you so much for giving Speed Racer a shoutout bless
Weird how you guys were able to off the cuff figure out how to improve and fix the movie's opening when the Pixar team couldn't crack it with a couple years working on it. Funny how that works.
14:37 wasn't that the plot of the first cars movie?
lightning mcqueen was the upcoming star in the first one
I'll admit the wall e clip made me tear up, because just
fuck that's a good movie
I'm surprised you guys disliked Cars 3 so much. I thought Cars 3 was the best Cars movie so far, and even made me think that there actually could be room for a Cars 4 that I'd actually be intrigued about. (Because I certainly was not going in with high expectations for Cars 3)
It was a nice experience.
The original Cars was a shockingly okay movie.
As someone who will watch (well, listen to) a review of a movie I've never even heard of if it's a Midnight Screenings episode, I approve of any post-viewing-review done from the dashboard.
I'm going to view that song at the end as a loving tribute to the memory of Stephen Furst (Flounder). RIP
Cars 3 is just a apology for Cars 2
They could (and should) apologize for ALL of the CARS films...
And I wouldn't accept it.
It seems to me like every time Pixar hypes up the emotions of something, it tends to disappoint. For example before Good Dinosaur and Cars 3 the directors of those films were like “Oh my God, these movies are going to make you cry so much you’ll feel dehydrated.” Guess what?

Wow! This is the best parody of Cinema Snob's Midnight Screening I've ever seen!
It's not a parody, it's just something simular.
And this was not a comment to be taken seriously. ;)
I mean, Toy Story recast Jim Varney without doing an homage. You only get that if you're close to top billing, not if you're a side character.
They could've easily recast Doc Hudson too, and I know that because THEY DID for Radiator Springs Racers. Corey Burton did Doc's voice in that ride, and it's so dead-on that the first few times I rode it, I swore Paul Newman must've recorded it before he died. An infinitely better match than Not George Carlin anyway. I don't object to recasting in principle, the favoritism here just personally pissed me off.
Actually I thought it was someone with a Paul Newman voice.
YAY, a new video!
12:19 - 12:43 History repeats itself as Marvel is doing the exact same thing with T’Challa and General Ross.
One of the funniest parts to me was whenever they said "McQueen is fading, fading fast"
So many car puns in this at the beginning (most likely unintentional)
I thought this film was fine, but yes, I agree fullheartedly with you guys on how little attention the car crash they devoted every ad to got and that cop-out ending, which completely contradicts the film's theme.

I think Blue Sky Studios security made Cars 2 to make PIXAR bad so they can beat them to the film concept of Rio.
I really love cars 3
It is unfourtunate that the movie igonor the sexism issue. How can society move Ford if we keep Dodge-ing these questions. I mean Jesus Chrysler people! Then again it's just a movie, no need to get Bentley our of shape. Just we need better female roles, because girls, Yugo.
You're a bad car.
For those puns I should probably be given The Brave Little Toaster Treatment for cars.
At least, it just a movie instead of, you know, art. We like criticizing art, but movies aren't art. It is just entertainment that doesn't create an emotional impact and doesn't deserve to be criticize beside the fact it is either good or bad art because that is the only criticism is worthwhile apparently.

I am aware that film is art. I am a film student. I suspended that claim for the sake of a joke.
Jonathan Eilbeck mine is A Honda and 1 Dalmatians
If you watched the end credits, he becomes a crew chief
And Lou. OMG Lou. Lou was really good. It even made my cry at the end. (And I kept crying for several minutes after it was over haha)

The worst waste of potential of a Pixar film since The Good Dinosaur... and Brave...
Henry Barnill I know you're talking about cars 2 even though it's not nearly as bad as Brave
oi! I'll defend Cars 2! sure, it's not as dramatic, heartfelt or even down to earth as the examples you made, but hey: *IT'S ABOUT CARS!!!* i wasn't gonna think it was gonna be the next Citizen Cane, i knew what i was getting into. also, most of the examples you shown were needless (mater goofing off), semi important (mater dealing with the info stashed under him from the spy car, possibly causing him to gas) or a plot point (yeah, him "leaking" was a plot point).

look, Tony, I like your show when I like you, but when you're talking about a movie, at least try to make good points. heck I'll even agree that Cars 2 is the worst Pixar movie they have, but that still Pixar: it's still good.
also, i don't beliece Cars 3 is "copying" Toy Story. Buzz wasn't trying to be the best, he was oblivious to him being a toy so had no reason to try. Woody was just worried his title as favorite toy would be taken. he was jealous.

And being knowledgeable about cars shouldn't be an excuse to act like a complete jackass, which Mater does through the whole movie (and Lightning loses his first race because of it).
Are those good enough points for you?
No matter how many times I watch the Cars movies, I can never understand why they get SO MUCH HATE. I don't think they deserve it.
AGREE 1000%!
"but hey: IT'S ABOUT CARS!!! "
Pretty much sums up the whole series so far...
The fact that it's 'about CARS' is all that CAN be said about such unimaginative, below PIXAR's usual standards, no need for it to exist crap.
Didn't think you would do one about cars.
Cars has an area at DCA.
I enjoyed Cars 3 better than Cars 2, which isn't hard, considering Cars 2 is pretty bottom of the barrel when it comes to Pixar films, but nothing has knocked The Good Dinosaur out of that lowest notch on the totem pole yet. Bland, uninteresting and nowhere near as enjoyable as I hoped it would be, at least Cars 3 delivered on the FUN aspect of Pixar movies.
I have to disagree though, it is not suitable for children judging by how many restless kids were in my showing of the film. The adults had more laughs out of it than the kids, I really do not think this would be suitable for younger children, even the 9 and ten crowd might get bored with it. I was a day late and a dollar short to comment on this video, but better late than never.
Also Coco will do exceptionally well because of the Frozen fanatics desperate for anything new, and as we all know Olaf's little adventure is playing in front of Coco because Disney ADVERTIZED it...How surreal was that? Nobody advertises shorts or makes them anymore.
Is the twist more or less obvious than the one in Wreck It Ralph? Cuz apparently the Wreck It Ralph Twist was completely fucking obvious and I'm the only adult in the world who didn't get it
"Twist" was honestly the wrong word. It was more that by a certain point, you knew EXACTLY how the story was going to end, and none of it was surprising.
John McGuirk's car for Cars 4?
I'm guessing that car pileup at the beginning was from the Blues Brothers.
Close, and yet so far. It was from Blues Brothers 2000.
Tony Goldmark ah, the best one.
WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT AMAZING CRASH SCENE FROM?!?
Blues Brothers 2000. It's not as amazing in context - it goes on for like three fucking minutes and becomes nothing more than "here's another car. And another one! And another one!"
I first saw this guy in Nostalgia Critic's Hocus Pocus review
I like Cars 3
Quiet you.
Man! Disney really loves to screw George Carlin! First they canceled the production of Totally Twisted Fairy Tales that had him as one of the voices, then they cast him in Tarzan 2 and Cars, and finally they don't pay tribute to him in Cars 2 after his death by hiring a bad impersonator of him for his character from the first Cars movie. I think we can all watch his stand up of Mickey Mouse more times to honor and respect him than what Disney has done to him.
Most disappointing: Three movies and they never gave the Pizza Planet truck a name or even a cameo.
Like I said on the Cinema Snob's Midnight Screenings video, sequel rot comes to the Cars franchise.
I guess i'm surprised you haven't done Despicable Me 3 in this video format.
Eh, I'm not a big fan of those movies.
At least 1 and 3 are the good ones.
I always had a soft spot for the first two but I respect your opinion.
Like that cars song a modern classic of music.
You need a trigger warning for those Up & Toy Story 3 scenes. Enter me, crying uncontrollably on the floor in fetal position, hoping the toys are still alive and hoping Mr. Frederick isn't still home alone depressed. 😂
Have you...have you seen the full movies?
Tony Goldmark I do my best to keep all of that in the way back corners of my mind. As most ending of the Pixar films do. Well, except for the Cars franchise. That just flows right out.
Which film is the car pile up clip from?
Blues Brothers 2000.
Thanks!
Cars 3 argubly isn't much a Comedy pers say, at least compared to 2 , and even 1. (No joke in this movie is as bad as "He did what in his cup?").
It is more focused on the comeback story and slowing down by building that up, like what the first sort of did. It's just not quite dramatic or great enough to be a drama so it's a tad stuck tonally in that way.
route 66 now plays music
Thankfully Planes isn't made by Pixar.
No wonder, Transformers 5 was so bad Tony does not want to review it.
Reviews from a car damn the Cinema Snob is going to be pissed
I’m on Luke Ski’s side.
I love the first Cars. And I loved Cars 3 when I saw it last week, it took me back to my childhood. I was 12 when the first one came out and I've kind of gotten used to the fact that most people and critics tend to disregard the franchise as legitimately good Pixar fare. I won't defend the second film but I will say that I find it far more entertaining than Brave, which just bored me to tears (even as a huge Pixar fan).
I think Luke is annoyed somewhere.
watch the video
@@TonyGoldmark I did! 😎
Speaking of animated movies, there is a really interesting video by Rebeltaxi where he theorizes why Disney came to rely on 3d animation. You should really check it out.

What do you think of the other mediocre Pixar movies?
I think they're mediocre. Brave, The Good Dinosaur and Cars 3 are all mediocre (I know a lot of people put Monsters University in that list too, but I actually kinda liked it). Cars 2 is the only Pixar movie that ACTIVELY PISSED ME OFF.
Flaws, or problems with them?
Brave and The Good Dinosaur are both tonally all over the Goddamn place, and neither have interesting-enough stories to justify that. Likely a result of switching directors midway through production in both cases.
That reminds me, Have you heard the news about what's happening to the Han Solo Spin-off movie?
Yep. Not happy about it. I ranted about it on Twitter yesterday.
Planes isn’t Pixar but they were still crap
I liked it :/
green.
The first and third film in this trilogy are the only good ones.
I liked Cars 3.
I WAS FORCED TO WATCH CARS 2
Tho I will agree it's still esoteric I believe the message to Cars is less "isn't Route 66 awesome" and more "get your head out of your ass and appreciate the bigger picture." Lightning learns to stop focusing on just winning and enjoying the energy of the race. He learns to stop focusing so much about speed and just enjoy the drive and the places it takes him. Route 66 itself is actually a decent allegory for this, as Sally explains that back in the 50s driving wasn't about getting to a destination. It was about enjoying the ride along the way. "The road didn't cut through the land. It moved WITH the land."
Pause @1:13

"A few extra shekels"
OH, so YOUR people can say that word, but not us Gentiles?!?!? Double standards, me thinks. #WhyCantGentilesSayThatWord #TonyGoldmarkIsRacistAgainstGentiles
3m undocumented racers, hahaha
If I say I like cars 2 dose that make me a bad person
Of course not, it's just a movie dude
@@TonyGoldmark lol I was more saying that as a joke and to get you an additional comment on your video. But thank you for the reply lol. Hope you had a great day.
what up
a direction
"I don't understand why people dislike 'CARS'...cartoon cars have been around since the 1940's!"
And they have never been a source for a full FEATURE FILM, with good reason. They are dull as hell, unimaginative in design, and limited in appeal only to fans of CARS.
The film series IS the weak point in PIXAR's legacy, for just those reasons.
"Hey, let's slap a big, obvious face on a car...instant character for a film!"
Plus, Larry the Goddamn Unfunny Cable Guy.
'Nuff said.
'CARS' sucks.
