but what everyone else is arguing is that it wasn't as good as other Pixar films

to adults?

What other Pixar films are better?
Toy Story's
Up
Finding Nemo

I think those are better movies
I'm not saying Cars is the best Pixar movie ever, it's not.


People hate on the Fast and Furious franchise and say the movies are terrible. Pretty sure the people that make the movie don't give a shite about that b/c they are raking in money, which is all that really matters and you wouldn't be raking in gobs of money if people didn't like the movie.


my whole point is, if the movie isnt' as well liked as other Pixar films, why has it made more money than all other Pixar films combined? Why is their merchandise so much better than others. It's b/c kids love Lightning McQeen and Mater. They relate to them, and they are funny in the movie.
Toy Story has just as much the opportunity when it comes to merchandise as Cars does, yet Cars sells 4x more than they have and gave Toy Story a 10 year head start. KIDS LOVE THE MOVIE AND IT'S CHARACTERS!
To an adult Toy Story and Nemo may be better movies, but to a kid, Cars is a great movie, and that's the goal of every animated movie. The fact that tons of adults love the Incredibles doesn't help them make more money. The fact that every kid becomes obsessed with Cars for a short time is why they make so much money.
