Pixar just released this teaser for their second sequel, Cars 2. While it’s fun to rip on Dreamworks for being the Fredo of animated movies (this cartoon pretty much says it all), Pixar didn’t get the reputation for being the smart one by making movies like Cars 2. Michael Caine voicing the smooth British car and Larry the Cable Guy as the buck-toothed hillbilly car is an idea right out a Dreamworks brainstorming session. The only thing missing is popular song explicitly about cars. Larry the Cable Guy seems like the kiss armpit fart of death for any project, doesn’t he? Imagine if Andy Kaufman had come out with his “foreign guy” character, and when he realized people liked it, put out 10 foreign guy records and changed the name on his driver’s license to say “Latka.” “Well, looks like a I found my niche, time to invent a catch phrase.”

How has it never been an issue to any of the morons buying his movies and albums that he’s from Canada?
Just be happy this is getting made at all after Lightning McQueen locked himself in the garage with his engine running a few years ago.

*Puts on green visor, takes off pants*
Well, he was in the first ‘Cars’ movie and that pulled in $462 million worldwide, not to mention the merchandising, so I would say that Pixar is probably immune to armpit farts.
If the plane actually hits those cars, who wins, us or the terrorists?
I read somewhere that Nick Ring voices a PT Cruiser whose steering feels a little loothe.
Donk, I’ll agree with you as long as you don’t make the “lots of money” = good movie argument that’s so popular on YouTube.
Channing Tatum voices a slammed 1998 Acura that’s always rear-ending your girl’s hatchback.
If I’m going to be making any YouTube arguments, it’s going to be about the dearth of tits around here.
Canadiana never hurt Hee Haw, Burnsy. Someone had to teach you all to act like fucktards.
I agree this looks a little contrived, but Pixar has a pretty good track record…and I think Incredibles 2 could be pretty awesome.
If they’re sending a 1930’s redneck pick-up to Japan there’d better be a sub-plot about how those nip bastards killed his brother, cut off his truck nutz and stuffed them under his hood.
I hear Pixar had to cut Sally’s exhaust-to-grille scene to get the G-Rating.
The thing is, little kids LOVE Cars. I took my 3-year-old nephew to the toy store, and they had an absurd amount of Cars toys.
Not that there’s any good excuse for these shenanigans. Pixar, I am disappoint.

Ah yes, the Routan Death March…
Great – another excuse for fanboys to start putting obnoxious eyeball graphics on their cars.
“Cars 2” = bad idea. Now, if there was a horror spin-off, like maybe “The Car Centipede,” I would totally be down for that.
…and Katherine Heigl voices a cunt.
Directed by Tom Six-Cylinder?
The headline should say:
This Cars handles like a Dreamworks’.
Katherine Heigl would be a stuck-up Prius who preaches about saving the environment and then doesn’t recycle.
Cable Guy, shmabel guy. The first Cars movie was (imo) the weakest of Pixar’s offerings to date. Maybe that’s because I’m not filled with nostalgia for a time when two-lane roads were the only way to drive across a three-thousand mile wide country.
I’m not saying I hated it. But if they’re going to do sequels, when is Incredibles 2 coming out?
Actually, speaking as the parent of toddler who loves Cars, and especially the Larry the Cable Guy character (Mater the Tow Truck… oh! I’ve wasted my life), I’m more than happy to sit and watch Cars 2 eighty bajillion times instead of Dora (*shudder*). So long as Pixar keeps focusing on the story and the little details, they can make as many sequels as they want.
FYI, Pixar recently released a DVD of shorts featuring Mater and, I’ll be honest, I don’t hate them. Granted, I have never watched or heard LCG, so I don’t care about his voice being in the movie.
I really don’t know what to say, I basically hate all of these fucking movies and want to destroy the society that perpetuates their creation.
Anderson Cooper got all bent out of shape when he heard Kevin Spacey had been hired to voice the Ford Fusion.
Wow, first Dreamworks pulls a Pixar and makes a fantastic movie (How To Train Your Dragon) and now Pixar pulls a Dreamworks and makes a shitty looking money grab sequel.
Are cats and dogs living together yet? Because this is end of times bullshit.

Will the electric car still be gay?
God DAMMIT!
Fek – your lack of soul is both troubling and amusing.

Cars’ lack of Soul is troubling to Kia.
I haven’t seen this since it first came out on DVD but you’re telling me that the truck’s voice wasn’t Jeff Foxworthy??
/Giving a shit.
