Yeah, Cars 1 ended up being a LOT better than I thought, but it's definitely not my favorite Pixar movie. It's one thing to make a movie about anthropomorphic cars racing, but it's another thing entirely to make a movie about anthropomorphic cars being secret agents. It just seems... lame.
But then again, Pixar has yet to disappoint me, and Cars 1 turned out to be pretty damn good, so who knows? I wouldn't be surprised at all if this turned out to be a great little movie, it's just a hard sell for me personally.
And yeah, Larry the Cable Guy is awful. But again, Pixar has the magic touch and made him completely tolerable in Cars 1...
