Cars 2 (A)


Short version:  Well, Disney & Pixar have done it again! Another good movie, although this one is all about Mater. It's a change of pace from the original but overall it's a good movie!

Long Version: Okay, So Lightning McQueen isn't the star in this action packed spy movie. Mater steps up and takes the spotlight here along with a new character Finn McMissile (Michael Caine). Finn who is a spy with British intelligence, is tracking down a criminal and his weapon to wreak havoc, and Mater on the other hand is just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Through many "Larry the Cable Guy" moments Mater somehow becomes a real spy car and his Radiator Springs background creates the perfect cover. Who would suspect an old rust bucket tow truck to be a spy?

We go to Europe following McQueen for a world cup race event where we shift gears to Mater. He and Finn run the show and do a god job of it. The criminal is trying to convince the world that gasoline is better than a new bio fuel, Allinall, and is destroying race cars to show the world that this new fuel is the cause. Using his secret weapon, which is hidden in a video camera, he shoots at race cars as they compete. Putting the fate of Lightning McQueen in the hands of his best friend, Mater. 

This movie is packed with action and fun to watch. There is also a Toy Story short at the beginning and is pretty good. True to form, Pixar has made yet another good movie and short! The acting, or voice talent is good and is also shot in 3D. I don't know that watching in 3D is worth spending the extra money, but either way it won't affect the quality of the movie. A must see for Disney & Pixar fans!
