I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Y'know, my kid liked Star Wars:Visions, so I was gonna get her a shirt for Christmas. Can anyone tell me why Disney makes this shirt in only adult sizes?

And this one feels racist for a white adult to wear.

Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

Lately it's been Cars and Cars 3. Cars 2 is a mess. I really don't know what to make of this franchise. Is it Pixar's worst series of movies? The anthropomorphic cars just seem so weird and crudely drawn compared to the rest of Pixar's stuff, but I can't help but love the town of Radiator Springs. The music in this is also some of the worst in any Pixar movie, yet the scene that "Our Town" is centered on is pretty close to a life philosophy for me and therefore always makes me cry. When Sally says "cars used to move with the land..." chills.

My toddler has a love/hate with this movie too. He really can't stand when the dialogue gets too long. Those cars are supposed to move. But boy, when they do start moving he's all about it.

3.5/5

My kids are loving a cartoon called Johnny Test and I hate everything about it with every fiber of my being.

I can't figure out if the lone traffic light that introduces Radiator Springs in the OG Cars is an intentional Twin Peaks reference or just a coincidence.

We've been on a Finding Nemo/Finding Dory kick lately. My dude loves Hank the octopus septopus.

Mom dies to start Nemo. Nobody dies in Dory. Dory is actually my favorite of the two. I have more to say but we're trending chaos in the house rn so I better put my phone down.

We spent years hitting the chapter skip on the DVD of that movie.
