Cars 2!

I'm interrupting the Disney posts for some awesome news -- we saw Cars 2!  We were fortunate to have been invited to advanced screening on Saturday.   We surprised LL, but just showing up to the theater.   He was so excited when he found out what we were seeing.   Not sure he got the whole "advanced screening" stuff, but nonetheless he was thrilled!  Since we were on vacation last week and that's when I received the invite, we had no time to secure a sitter, so little l tagged along.   Needless to say, I only caught bits and pieces as I was wondering the halls with little miss.

Even though double l loved the whole movie thing and loves Cars, it turns out the entire plot was way over his head and a bit mature (in my bub's opinion).   Definitely a bit violent with the whole spy thing, which maybe they thought their core audience mature over the several years since the first movie.   Not sure we will join the crew (cousins in from out of town next month) if they decide to go see it.

But if your son or daughter loved the first Cars and still talks about McQueen and the gang they may really enjoy themselves.   Maybe too mature for your 3 or 4 year old or at least over their head plot wise!

I, of course, loved the animation and thought Disney/Pixar did a fabulous job as the gang traveled to all the countries.   I was happy to catch each country!  My bub said the same thing and thought it was very well done!

Here is the trailer:



So tell me -- who is headed to Cars 2 this weekend?

Oh and a McQueen bike has been requested for a birthday gift, so obviously Cars still reins in commerce!!
