OT: CARS 3 is coming!

Yes I know this will be the death knell for Bond. Yada yada, yeah we know the story. Bond is dead. R.I.P.

But actually the reason I raise this thread is because I imagine there must be a whole lot of angry PIXAR fans to hear this news. Many still can't forgive CARS 2 (which I admit that I greatly enjoyed!!) as they saw it as a worthless sequel to a mediocre original film. For whatever reason CARS (which I also enjoyed) was seen as a lesser PIXAR effort (perhaps even the worst PIXAR effort up to that point) so folks were scratching their heads when CARS 2 was released. Then when the film was panned by the critics folks hated it even more. Well, here comes CARS 3 and I imagine folks are really gonna have a cow now. It's almost as if PIXAR is giving folks the middle finger. Personally I find the whole thing amusing. 

I hope Finn McMissile returns. We all should.

Finn McMissile was awesome. The whole movie was.

And the merchandising angle certainly does make sense. I didn't even hear anything about INCREDIBLES 2. Oddly enough I'm a bigger CARS fan than INCREDIBLES fan. Somehow I didn't understand the universal praise heaped upon it. Maybe I need to revisit it.

The praise had a lot to do with the music used in the trailer. https://youtu.be/XWqV6nB59Fg

I'm not that taken with The Incredibles either: it's middling Pixar – not as good as Toy Story but not as lazily underwritten as A Bug’s Life, but certainly flabbier around the middle than is quite healthy. At times it feels a little too like a Simpsons sendup of The Fantastic Four (not altogether surprising with old Simpsonian Brad Bird at the helm) but without the same tight scripting from the show's glory days, and Michael Grachiano’s score quickly oversteps the line between loving pastiche and outright plagiarism (it really is mere reorchestrations of early Bond scores for the most part – particularly original composer John Barry’s alternate 007 theme and cues like Death of the Korean from Goldfinger, not to mention the main title from OHMSS). But, with those caveats out of the way, it is fun – the opening sequence and the dangers of capes and Edna Mole sequences in particular are spot-on – and it’s nice to see Grand Old Men of animation Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnson getting a CGI cameo. It’s just a shame it wasn’t as tight as Mr Incredible’s uniform.

My favorite by far is UP. It's a tremendous PIXAR film! It ranks bigly on my list. Very very good movie.

The best part is when the play "Live and Let Die" behind the montage of the wife kicking the bucket. I'm sure that's how it went.

*Trump voice*Wrong!

It's tough for mento pick a favorite of Pixar's library, with so many great films (Up included). I usually stick with the OG, though, and think Toy Story is their opus. The whole trilogy, I mean.

What's OG?
