Mater's Tall Tales the Movie

Rating: Null/10 (21 November 2011)

For Pixar fans, the adults anyways the "Cars" franchise is viewed as the worst, at least in the online world but that's beside the point, can a film that is a sequel to this "terrible" franchise really be all that great, this film will likely surprise you.
The Film's score is effective and well done, it feels like a spy movie score which is great in setting the mood. It easily ranks among the top Pixar films when it comes to this area, you'd have to really hate this series with a passion to even hate this score.
The animation is of course fantastic, anything that can reflect WILL reflect. The action is put to no shame thanks to this as well and may provide more fun than other films of this year.
The voice-cast includes everyone, minus a select few (the ones that died of course) from Radiator Springs from the original. They have little to say which is a downside, but another change from the first is Mater leading this film, he provides the same level of humor from the original and actually becomes the better lead for the film as he brings a different kind of personality to the past Pixar leads (McQueen was Woody just in car form to be honest) he's a lovable goof which may feel reminiscent of classic comedies. New characters include spies who provide a lot more interest to the film without making it feel like a different film (this film's race and spy plots really collide greatly and make for a better film overall) with all the violence that will surely get the older crowds attention. New racers are added to the mix, or racer as John Turturro as Francesco Bernoulli will steal pretty much any scene he's in.
The story is fantastic and filled with the classic spy element that fans of the genre will love and likely will want this film to be the intro to their children to the genre. It's hard not to love this fast paced sequel (though critics may say otherwise just because it's not "Pixar good") that improves on the original in so many ways.
"Cars 2" may not be emotional but that's no problem it's a fun film for all ages that feels committed to it's story and doesn't talk down to it's audience, watch it.
