Cars 2: once more, Pixar is dazzling with the visual creativity, with an expansion of the world seen in the original. As far as story goes, this is certainly more to the light side for their recent standards; also, thematically, it doesn’t feel right at home with what they did in Cars. That would be the main weakness in a very fun movie. (But still, incidentally, one lap ahead of both DWA and BlueSky).

Cars: there are many great qualities to this film, not the least of them the heartfelt earnestness of the story (which is sorely missing from many of the recent films from DWA and BlueSky). The visual creativity is also sky high, particularly in the care for the background. And, of course, the genius casting of Paul Newman. (The discussion if this is the worst Pixar to date is immaterial. But I’m a assumed fan.)
