cobra_gordo Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 I quite liked Cars 3. I've seen all of them more times than I'd care to guess due to my two sons being obsessed with the films when they first came out. The second one is complete dogshit but the third is at least a nice logical twist on the original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a single scene raised a smile from me. A moment of weakness after I watched Boyz N The Hood the other night, which is still and will always be in my top 5 of all time. Crenshaw Mafia 4 Lyfe I hope Fear of a Black Hat is still good, if you haven't seen that one I think it's your bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven’t seen it for years. Now you’ve mentioned it, I’ll try and find it and watch in the next few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members tiger_rick Posted June 25, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted June 25, 2019 Cars is fucking brilliant. Story is great, characters are great, moral is lovely, animation is magnificent, score is brilliant, attention to detail is incredible. Surely no-one is stupid enough not to love it? The second one is dire. Like different people made it. I like the third one. It's nowhere near as good as the first but far, far better than the second. If the series had just been those two, it'd be excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crenshaw Mafia 4 Lyfe It's very Wayans Brothers. I enjoyed it, but that's mainly because I watched it in my late teens/early 20s when I found that sort of humour funny. Doesn't hold up at all now (although I still laugh guiltily at the "nuclear holocaust" of "Hiroshima and N*ggasaki". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members gmoney Posted June 25, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted June 25, 2019 I've seen scenes from I'm Gonna Git You Sucka ("How much for one rib?") in the last few years and they still made me laugh, but I'd be wary of watching the whole thing again. Somethings are best left in adolescence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially if you liked the first one. The third one feels like a proper sequel but it's not as good. I didn't realise all the people didn't adore Cars. I think it's top 5 Pixar along with Up and the three Toy Storys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Carbomb Posted June 25, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted June 25, 2019 How does it work with Disney and Pixar? I thought Pixar were doing their 3D animation exclusively, but then Disney went and did Frozen, Tangled, Brave and Moana. Brave was particularly confusing, as it was marketed as both. Basically, how does Disney decide what's made under their own aegis, or under Pixar's (or both)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Chris B Posted June 25, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted June 25, 2019 I think they take Pixar's projects, rather than tell them what to do. So Pixar have a fair amount of autonomy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Hannibal Scorch Posted June 25, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted June 25, 2019 Is it a fairly standard story (Frozen, Moana, Beauty and the Beast). If so, Disney. Does it have a premise which shouldn't work on paper (Up, Inside Out, Cars, Wall-E) then it's Pixar. They fucked up by making Brave, definitely should have been a Disney film Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Houchen Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 By "Standard", you mean "Re-imagined/Stolen". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Carbomb Posted June 25, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted June 25, 2019 I bloody loved Moana - didn't feel like a "standard" story at all. Unless you mean "conflict introduced, overcome and resolved", in which case that's a large number of films. But for me, it was a load of fun, lots of silliness, great performance from The Rock, good soundtrack, and the scene with the Kokamora is one of my favourites in animation ever.
