I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

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
