<\/a><\/p>\nOne of the reasons I respect Pixar (more so than say Dreamsworks) is that they tend to believe in the art of animation – rather than the business aspect of it. With Toy Story 3 now out, I’m fairly confident that the story will be decent. But honestly, I’d much rather see original material – especially considering the sequel heavy releases expected to come from Pixar over the next few years.<\/p>\n
Speaking of which, the next Pixar movie to be released is Cars 2. Cars was by far my least favorite movie of theirs – and critics seemed to agree. I hated the premise, the story, the execution, the voice acting… everything. So news of a sequel being made felt like a kick square in the nuts. To make matters worse (yes, it gets worse), an interview with John Lasseter<\/a> gave insight to the idea of making Cars 2:<\/p>\n When I was traveling around the world doing interviews for Cars<\/em>, I just had the characters on the brain. I kept looking out thinking, \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcWhat would Mater do in this situation, you know?\u00e2\u20ac\u2122<\/em><\/p>\n Yes… the thought process of making a sequel to this horribly disappointing movie was Mater – the most annoying character in the original movie (and quite possibly in all of Pixar’s pictures). And as a result, the story will have more Mater in it (ugh). In fact, one of the key story points<\/a> will be:<\/p>\n Mater gets involved in a “Hitchcockian” case of mistaken identity, saves the life of a British secret agent called Finn McMissile (voiced by Jack Black), and becomes embroiled in a huge spy thriller. If you’re anything like me, you plan on visiting a doctor over the next few days because you’re worried reading the above passage gave you cancer.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
