Worst Pixar feature is a slow dull retread of movies you've seen before

Rating: 4/10 (18 June 2006)

I've seen Cars twice now I didn't like it either time.
For me this tale of a jerk who makes good is a technical tour de force as the Pixar animators push the envelope as far as one can in rendering a realistic world in an animated film. I'm not sure if thats a good thing since the cartoonish nature of the cars grates against the realistic world. I found it jarring and unpleasant to look at. It also creeped me out since the eyes of the cars looked dead and unresponsive. Sure the lids lifted and they moved back and forth, but they never changed they always remained static and equidistant.
A HUGE problem for me is that the Pixar guys have made a world of cars that looks exactly like our world, but which is is only filled with cars, there are no people. This would be fine except for the fact that if you think about it it doesn't make sense, how could cars have made everything we see? You can't argue people since we see cars in places they should be in houses and in the race stands. Yes I know its a cartoon, but at the same time it destroys the one thing a cartoon must have to work on any level and that is internal consistency and logic. This film doesn't have it at all.
I hated that I felt that I'd seen this movie before a thousand other times in a thousand other movies. It was so bad that I was pretty much guessing what the next line of dialog was going to be. Worse this film felt like an eternity during its time on the screen. If you're going to give me left overs the least you could do is give them to me faster so I don't have time to notice they're stale.
Major disappointment from Pixar. (I saw it the second time because I couldn't believe it was that bad) Wait for video.
