Decent Animation, But Definitely Not Pixar!

Rating: 7/10 (25 February 2013)

Cars 2 is actually not a half-bad film as many people are claiming it to be. It's a sequel to the 2006's hit Pixar film, Cars. While Cars turned out to be weakest film Pixar has ever made, it still had a heart and a message. It was more about the drama and relationships between the characters rather than action. Unfortunately, this is the first Pixar film to lack that heart and to substitute it for plain action. As an action fan, I really liked this move. As a Pixar fan, I was wondering what the heck happened.
Our heroes Lightning McQueen and Mater returns as they travel worldwide to race in the World Grand Prix. But while there, Mater seems to have been caught up in some kind of international conspiracy.
The voice actors are pretty good. I wanted to see more Owen Wilson as McQueen because I felt he wasn't in the movie enough as this film was based more on Mater voiced by Larry the Cable Guy.
Overall, this is a good movie if you don't associate it with Pixar. I enjoyed the action scenes and the crisp animation, but I couldn't help feel disappointed that this is not the Pixar film we have came to expect. I rate this film 7/10.
