so all the toys come to life but racecar still needs batteries to run? Where's the logic there? Does Woody need batteries to come to life? How can all the toys move without batteries but racecar needs batteries to move?
Dory's memory is full of inconsistencies.


You're missing the point, and that's ok, this is a tough discussion.

quote:

Everything in the movie Cars, was a car. and the cows weren't cars, they were tractors, and they made fart noises when you "tipped" them, which is funny.


No, they were meant to be cows, in a field. Think about this: The Cows didn't really seem to "evolve." They were Cars, with the properties of Cows, in a world of Cars who had the properties of humans. So essentially, it was like putting neanderthals, or some other sub-human ancestor, in the present day.

No sense does this movie make.

quote:

You look for reasons to not like Cars, and give dumb examples that can easily be made for Toy Story but you choose to ignore them when watching Toy Story, which most would acknowledge is the best animated film.

As i stated before, i think the dislike for some of you is that fact that Mater is the main attraction of the movie, and some of you have a bias towards him b/c it's Larry the Cable Guy. Tom Hanks and Tim Allen sound perfect for Toy Story. Goodman and Crystal are perfect for Monsters. Larry the Cable Guy is perfect for Mater, yet some of you are to refined to sit back and enjoy that character for what it is. And as i said before, I dont' like Larry the Cable Guy.


Dude we can chat about this and have fun, but let's not go down the road of you assuming or telling me why I don't like something. I know why I don't like something.

I have no bias towards the Larry the Cable Guy and he is really maybe the least important problem in the film. He's a problem, just not an important one (until Cars 2 that is).

That makes no sense whatsoever. They were "cows" just like the cars were people. They went "cow tipping" and when they did it made the tractors make a fart noise. That's funny to every kid that has ever watched it, and it was funny to the kid in me. That was the sole purpose of that scene, to make you laugh, not dissect the evolution of cows in the movie.

This movie was meant to appeal to adults by taking cars and making them have human problems but with a car twist. That's it. It is meant to be funny not realistic in evolution.

I wouldn't call him a problem, considering Mater is one of the most loved characters Disney has.
Doesn't sound like you have no bias, and that review just lamented more as to how the cool hip critics hate for Larry the Cable Guy and his brand of comedy, which was very popular at that time, may have influenced many adults in how they viewed this film. It's ok to laugh at jokes made by Larry the Cable Guy. It doens't make you a white trash redneck to think something he said was funny, but some people will never admit that he's funny b/c they think they are lowering themselves by doing so. and again, I do not care for him, he's funny at times, but i think theres a lot a people that hate him and dont like the comedy he represents, or mainly the crowd he attracts.

It's ok for the TRex to be an idiot, b/c we dont' know who it is, but we dont' like the fact that Mater is an idiot b/c it's Larry the Cable Guy. That's what I gathered from that review.
