lilmac Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 (edited) Well we can't speak for this one yet, but I refuse to believe Cars 2 was made for anything but that. There's no way Lasseter or anyone else actually thought that plot was a story that really needed to be told. I doubt there was some quintessential concept that sparked the idea to make Cars 3. It was money dude. Edited October 8, 2015 by lilmac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MinaTakla Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Universal and Illumination must be like: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no way Lasseter or anyone else actually thought that plot was a story that really needed to be told. Lassester really loves the car franchise. I think he got a bit too much lost in his own world when he made Cars 2, and this is coming from someone who thought Cars 2 was fine.

AniNate Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 I suppose I shouldn't care too much that one Pixar sequel is replacing another, but it sucks that this and I2 are coming out so soon. Guess we need to really appreciate TGD and Coco. Wonder who's directing this, since Lass is doing Toy Story 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lasseter with the Cars franchise seems to be like George Lucas with the Star Wars prequels or Peter Jackson with the Hobbit trilogy. It's hard to tell where filmmaking ends, and overgrown kid playing with toys begins. Cameron could end up being the same with the Avatar sequels...if he actually finishes building the toys with which he is going to play.

kayumanggi Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 THE INCREDIBLES II coming out so soon? We have waited for more than a decade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TServo2049 Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Yeah, more people are complaining that 2019 is too LONG a wait. They want it BEFORE these other sequels. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Futurist Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 As far as I can remember, Lasseter always talked about Cars as his life long dream film. He always wanted to make an animated movie with Cars in it, it s probably his biggest passion project. The way people talk about this franchise is a strange irony. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kowhite Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Honestly, if it isn't a movie starring Mater... It'll be better by default. Cars 2 felt like the most expensive direct to video movie ever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 (edited) Normally I applaud passion projects but the Cars franchise just feels like an exercise in self indulgence. There isn't nearly the kind of thought put into the world building to make it seem like a plausible universe like there is in Pixar's other films. It's all just "Hey, aren't talking cars awesome?" I think that's the main reason for the franchise's disdain. The world appears to still be designed for humans even though there aren't any in it. If they actually figured out a clever way for living cars to use phones or get gas or do repairs, I think people would be more accepting of it. But it's too late to do that now so this is always going to be Pixar's Black Sheep Edited October 9, 2015 by tribefan695 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AniNate Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 (edited) Now that the fandom has cooled off a bit I think most have accepted Frozen merchandise as a fact of life. I imagine The Lion King got on people's nerves in much the same way in the mid 90s Edited October 9, 2015 by tribefan695 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avatree Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 People wouldn't complain about it being a merchandise cash cow if they liked it This is true of a lot of things. Plenty of people may complain about sequels and remakes of 30 year old movies, while they celebrate the third Spider-Man franchise in the space of a decade. They'll complain about Divergent finale being split, while they watch Mockingjay five times over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 (edited) And the apropos Incredibles 2, of course. I can't help wondering if fans would have actually preferred three Incredibles sequels over Inside Out, Good Dino and Coco Edited October 9, 2015 by tribefan695 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
