In Cars 2, sadly, there is very little for older audiences unless you like Larry the Cable Guy. I am sure children who see this film will indeed have a great deal of fun with it, but I am disappointed since Pixar films usually appeal to both children and adults. However, despite my criticisms, I understand that this is a film targeted for a much younger audience than myself. All in all, the story ends up feeling deflated and tedious as a result. This is the sort of plot you have seen in many, many spy/action films before - there is really nothing new to see here. Additionally, the story itself is, simply put, dull. Unfortunately for me, he is in the majority of this nearly two-hour long film. The crux of the issue in this film, for myself at least, is the focus on Tow Mater, who I find annoying at the best of times and insufferable at the worst. Meanwhile, McQueen and his new racing problem is relegated to something of a backdrop. The major differences between the first and second film is that whereas the first focuses on Owen Wilson's character, Lightning McQueen, going through a decent amount of character growth before a large racing competition, the second oddly focuses on the first film's comic relief character, Tow Mater (voiced by Larry the Cable Guy), being caught up in a plot involving secret agents and a monocle-wearing super villain. Cars 2, on the other hand, is very much so. Granted, I did not care much for the original Cars in 2006, but I would not go so far as to say it is a straight-up bad film. Unfortunately, as I watched Cars 2, I became increasingly dismayed as I began to realize it was the first film from Pixar that I actively disliked. The talented people at Pixar have brought us many excellent films over the years such as Toy Story, Monsters Inc, Ratatouille, Inside Out, and most recently Coco, to name a few.
