I was unsure about them making a sequel for this one, but this looks beautiful.

I was unsure about them making a sequel for this one, but this looks beautiful.

While being beautiful is a good start, they will need a good story to keep us interested too. Cars is their weakest movie so far, so I was surprised when they announced the sequel. But to give credit where credit is due: with several of their films I thought "how is that gonna be interesting" and they always came around.

That's exactly why I was unsure. Cars seems to internationally known as being the film that everyone just thinks is just 'okay' in a sea of 'amazing' and 'outstanding'. When I first heard of the sequel it didn't make any sense to me, but then I thought that Pixar had to know what they are doing. Maybe they seek to redeem themselves for Cars with this sequel.

Strange. I absolutely loved Cars. It's not my top favorite, but not near my bottom either.

On the other hand, I all but hatted Ratatouille.

That's all about taste, I guess. I mean, there we were again: "a film about a cooking rat? are you nuts?"! You are the first one I know though who likes Cars more than of the the other Pixar films.

[Critter]

Blair, your also the only person I've known who likes Cars above other Pixar films, especially Ratatouille. I suppose that just shows how diverse the fans are though.

I really liked Cars...I've really liked all of Pixar's movies.

Bye bye first female director at Pixar.

Shame on them. It's all downhill now for that project!


Back to the OP concept art... a race around the Eastern World?

The first image gives me hope that they will do an effect that they didn't in the first: thickly and thinly rain-slicked roads with spray spinning from the tires. That's something I love the look of even in reality.

[Critter]

I hadn't thought of that but you're right, a rain covered road would look amazing if done correctly, I'm looking forward to seeing it now.

As for Brave I don't think it's all downhill for the film now, after all, it's not the first time Pixar have changed directors during production. I'm still very upset about it though, I was looking forward to seeing Pixars first film with a woman in the helm.
