@ skierpete, you say \”I am one of the few that quite enjoyed cars\” Um…really? So the hundreds of millions it made were from people who didn\’t like it? And BTW, the sequel machine is Disney, Pixar was not this way until they were bought by Disney, not just working with them.

Sloppy reporting, Pixar isnt actually making the \”Planes\” movie, DisneyToon studios is.

Although it is undoubtedly a Pixar spin-off and I\’m sure Luxo Jr. will show up before the title credits, its not a Pixar picture.

I am sure I am not the only one disappointed in Pixar\’s recent turn into a Sequel machine. Of biggest concern to me was the uninspiring Toy Story 3. While it was a very good movie, it lacked the depth of the previous TS features, and didn\’t approach the sublime charactizations of Up and even WALL-E. Yeah, it made us all cry at the end – but really – how hard was it to come up with THAT as an ending for the characters. Points for having probably the most Evil villian in Disney history, but the characters all completely coasted on their personalities developed in the previous films, no personal growth at all. (Look at TS1 – both Woody and Buzz grew as characters, TS2 it was more Woody and Jessie. Who in this movie? No-one.)

Enough ranting…I am one of the few that quite enjoyed cars, and since my Daughter likes it, I\’m sure we\’ll see the sequel, but I can\’t think of a single Pixar film I\’ve looked forward to less than Cars 2. It makes me worry – plus Monster\’s Inc are the characters I\’m second least interested in revisiting. (Heck, I\’d rather spend more time with Remy and Linguini!)

C\’mon PIXAR – bring on \”Brave\”. At least we got that late next year, right?
