My oldest son is watching Cars for the first time in several months. He just woke up and wanted to watch it.
Still can't believe they messed up Cars 2. That spy stuff was horrible, especially the beginning. My son was almost 2. All the cars shooting made me consider leaving.
I would have done Cars 2 as Rocky 3 with Lightning McQueen as Rocky, Sally as Adrian, Mater as Paulie, Doc Hudson as Mickey, and Chick Hicks as Apollo with some new badass black car as Clubber Lang. That would have been sick. Then do Cars 3 an international race like Rocky 4 with vs. some roided up Italian car that killed Chick Hicks in a race.
I finished reading the link. He gets pretty wacked out talking about A Bug's Life and Monsters Inc. Still can't believe Dinoco is an afterthought in this theory. That's a bigger deal than the Easter eggs. I still think Pixar movies have common themes about the environment and conservation that are obvious in some movies and less obvious in others.
