SickThing Wrote:I was afraid this was Pixar's first mistake. The trailers did absolultely nothing for me. But I knew I'd see it sometime because it's Pixar. I took my family to see it last night, and we all enjoyed it more than we thought we would. It's not an awesome film, like Finding Nemo or The Incredibles or Toy Story, and it's the least of the Pixar films, IMO, but it's still light-years beyond all the other CG dreck the other studios are putting out. The animation was top-notch, of course, but the story just wasn't quite there for me.

Have to ditto your post. The backscapes were beautiful, years ahead of what the other CG filmmakers have done. Storywise, it was good, not great. I just couldn't get into the idea of "cars" as characters, too Mobil oil commercial. Toys and furry animals make for great CG, but "cars?" What next, kitchen utensils (copyright pending)?
But enough nit-picking. That's why I didn't what to post first on this movie. In our conversation Saturday evening, Steve, his girlfriend Sandra (Sandy), my girlfriend Cindy (that's right, Cindy and Sandy), reached the conclusion that I am too nitpicky when it comes to movies, books, and television. But in my defense, may I add, sometimes you need a nitpicky person instead of a bunch of yes-men.

P.S. Believe Medusa: Stay until the very end of the end-credits. You won't be sorry.
