“Cars” gets a sequel because it’s still coming out with new successful merchandise long after the movie is gone. Last time that happened to Pixar was Toy Story.

BTW - There’s no such thing as reverse racism. There’s just racism.

Salieri, it’s Disney we’re talkin’ here…you have some nerve acting SURPRISED! (heh heh)

Princess and the Frog should be different if only because of the 19th century New Orleans setting and the fact that the Princess in question is black…which, you know, we know because Disney made a huge hulabaloo that this film would feature the first BLACK DISNEY PRINCESS, like they deserve some medal for doing it a mere 140 years after the slaves were freed.

Odd reverse racism there, but what do you expect from the company that keeps withholding a DVD release of “Song of the South” despite theming one of their most prominent park rides around it?

“‘CARS 2′… is the first sequel for Pixar outside the ‘TOY STORY’ franchise.”

Really? What happened to the ‘INCREDIBLES’ sequel project?

John Lasseter is so amazing…. Disney buying Pixar was one thing, but giving Lasseter the keys to the kingdom (pun intended) was the best move they could ever make. Here’s a person who recognizes that animation, in ALL its forms, is art and must be preserved and promoted. Bringing back hand drawn animation when Disney had (once again) declared it dead, shows how much he loves and appreciates the medium, fully as much as the care he’s put into Pixar and his heavy promotion of the films of Hayao Miyazaki.

Argh, now they’re mining overdone Fairy Tales. GOD, when you’re out of ideas, People, you should just admit you’re out of ideas…

Re: Cars

IIRC most Pixar movies have been making slightly less at the box office each year. What was once a groundbreaking novelty, has become so commonplace that it feels like it’s diluting the market place. CG animated features are every animated feature at this point.

And to be honest, I had no interest in seeing Cars when I first heard about it and saw the trailers. I can handle talking toys, bugs and monsters, but talking cars did nothing for me. I did breakdown and saw Cars in theatres and thought it was great.

Everything from Pixar at this point is pure gold. Cars might not been that succesfull, because it was very US centric movie (How many peeps truelly know about Route 66 outside the US. And even less know about NASCAR racing)

Disney’s smartest move in a decade was buying Pixar. But Pixar is now such a huge part of Disney, that you might change Disney’s name into Pixar.
