This is our second review of a Pixar film, the first being the amazing Toy Story 3 and frankly, we're pretty disappointed. Our initial thoughts when the new trailer for Cars 2 was released was, "why make a sequel out of a bad movie?" Ask any Disney/Pixar fan and they'll say 2006's Cars was a flop - a skidmark in Pixar's golden reputation, so why make a sequel. The premises for this dodgy follow-up is that Lightning McQueen, voiced by Little Focker's Owen Wilson, is provoked into allowing a flashy Italian race car to challenge him to race in the fictional "World Grand Prix," run by the flashy, Miles Axelrod, voiced by comedian, Eddie Izzard. So they travel to Tokyo where the race begins. Enter, Michael Caine, voicing the not very lovable Finn McMissile, a secret agent, spy car (eh?) who discovers a plot conducted by the evil "Lemon's" to set race cars in their place by destroying them. A typical race soon becomes a whirlwind adventure for Tow Mater, voiced by Larry The Cable Guy who becomes embroiled in the spy subplot with McMissile and Holley Shiftwell, voiced by Emily Mortimer. The characters in this movie still fails to be lovable, exactly like the first movie - disappointing.
