CARS

This one is heartbreaking. After an unbelievable streak of good movies CARS looks bad. The trailer is 2 1/2 minutes of not funny, and the animation is about 10 years behind the times. This looks like a parody of Disney films, with lines like, "You're in Radiator Springs, the cutest little town in Carburetor County," and introductions to new pals "Luigi, Sarge, Fillmore and Ramone." Pixar has mastered entertaing children of all ages, but this one is aimed squarely at kids and hicks.
THE MOMENT THAT SAVED ME MONEY: Mater, who is already the Jar Jar Binks of the Pixar Universe
RATING: A very sad 3 out of 10
