Really Pixar?

Rating: 3/10 (6 July 2011)

Now Disney has always had "implied death" in their movies from the first - Snow White's wicked witch falling off the cliff to a Toy being sent to the dump. I'm no prude, and I do not mind explaining to my children what a Barracuda does with Coral (Nemo's mom). I am also a fan of James Bond / action/adventure films. BUT, there's not a time when I would take my children (8, 6, and 4) to see one - not until their old enough to grasp the idea that there are bad people in this world with bad intentions.
The original Cars was a great story about an egomaniac race car who found real friendship for the first time with cars who were the opposite of him - and found a way to soften him up and tone him down. This one leaves ALL of the "feel good" behind for the sake of obnoxious (and overtly violent) gun/chase scenes a la "The Bourne Supremacy". Cars are actually assassinated, and not the implied "Mufasa falls into the stampede" - but they explode or get crushed - on screen.
Beyond my disgust at the marketing as a children's movie, as an adult, it wasn't even interesting. The race scenes were much less exciting than the first, the flying cars were over-the-top, and worst - it wasn't funny. Basically it failed in every "good movie" category with the exception of special effects and sound editing (sort of like "The Phantom Menace").
What I want to know most is who at Pixar is going to lose their job because my 4-year-old cried during an animated Disney picture?
