Both are clearly being pushed by money, which is a shame since Pixar formerly had such a great creative legacy. Alas, it seems like Iger's style has finally gotten to them too, and they're focusing heavily on reusing existing brands I really enjoyed The Incredibles, but I think the time for a sequel has long since passed. There's some material to work with, but I fear that the way the story left off, any new spin-off would feel overly sequel-ey I still contend that the original Cars is actually a pretty good movie; not great, but I'm always surprised how much I enjoy it when it's on TV. Cars 2 is simply dreadful; it doesn't make sense within the framework of the original film, and hardly makes sense within its own framework. It's just bad. The Cars shorts that they've made are among the worst things to come out of Disney or Pixar's main animation studios (non-TV) ever, IMO. I'm sure the third movie will be equally terrible, but will still be deemed a success when they're able to rake in the merchandising money

I don't think Brad Bird has made a misstep yet, and he wouldn't be writing the movie if he didn't have a story to tell. He's likely got more than enough movies in his head to keep him busy for years. Besides, if anything lends itself to a sequel, it's a super-hero movie. While Cars may not have been for everybody, I thought it was very well done and I liked it a lot. You could tell it was a personal project for Lasseter and his passion showed through. Cars 2 just seemed mostly like a bunch of gags tossed together. Maybe they'll get back on track but I'd prefer to see some original ideas coming out of the studio. Sad to see them resting so heavily on past successes.

(No offense John Lassetire)<< Supposedly the original Cars did quite well in the domestic box office, but was lackluster internationally due to little interest in stockcar racing and American auto heritage. The idea behind the "world tour" was an attempt to make it less distinctly-American, and appeal to a broader global market. The end result, however, was a film that felt like it was written by a committee to appeal to as many different demographics as possible, without any real purpose behind it

When Mrs Incredible, while on an incredibly dangerous mission to save her husband, checks out her elasticized posterior in a reflective surface and sighs, I think gee, Pixar, you are really something special. I wish they'd stop being mediocre so much. Harrumph.
