And agian we are back with a movie installment in the Pixar Cars Franchise.  A Franchise and a world I really don’t get. Like the are cars but with same rules as people. Are they born? Are they made? Is gas sustenance or alcohol? 

It almost seems maddening that the movie doesn’t want you, the viewer, to ask those type of world-building questions because it exists as “fun family movie” with talking cars that go fast.

Any is Cars 3 Good? Is it better than Cars 2? Is it better than Cars 1?

“Cars” (2006) Movie Review

Coming right after watching The Incredibles I figured Cars was going to another hard sell for me personally. I don’t love cars, or racing* or the Americana aesthetic that much. 

I really only tangentially knew the premise and really had no idea how a the red car mingled with the rusty pick-up truck or how racing actually factored into the plot.

Only recently did I learn that this movie was centered around Route 66. I’m not sure I if ever watched a trailer and if I did and just forgot. I’m not even certain I have seen a clip of Cars even in passing. Anything I knew about this movie was tangental from other sources. I knew nothing, which tracks. 

Basically I had no working knowledge of Cars but from the looks of it, it just did not seem like it would appeal to me and my taste at all. 

And yet I still watched it and I TRIED very hard to keep an open mind.
