Originally Posted By kmsandrbs Oh, sure.

Someday, Pixar will make a bad movie. It could be Cars but, in the words of Helen Parr: "I don't think so."
Originally Posted By DVC_dad Actually I think Bugs Life was the "bad" one but that type of animation was so new it did well. It was a good movie don't get me wrong, but it was no Nemo, or Monsters Inc, or Incredibles. Anyway there are too many Nascarrrr fans out there for this movie to miss.
Originally Posted By cstephens "A Bug's Life" is my least favorite of the Pixar movies, not because of the animation, but because I thought it had the weakest story. I've seen the film once now - I don't know that I'm all that interested in seeing it again. /cs
Originally Posted By LadyKluck If its any consolation, "Cars" is the first "cartoon" my husband has actually said he wants to see in the theater! He (ok we) are huge NASCAR fans and he also loves Larry the Cable Guy who voices the tow truck. Everytime he sees a preview on TV he just about busts a gut.
Originally Posted By davewasbaloo Funny, I'm really looking forward to cars (Love cars and Owen Wilson). Although Nemo is beautiful to look at, I find the pacing is all wrong, although there is humour and pathos, they are in limited segments. Bring on Cars, on your marks, get set, go!
