Premise
In the sequel to Cars, Mater gets caught up in international super-spy caper.
Disliked
The story.
Thoughts
Good enough to entertain kids, but really an unnecessary sequel.
The car characters were still cute, the chases were energetic, and there was some fun cultural material with the Japanese and European countries.
But the plot was flat out ridiculous. They struggled with figuring out whether it's Mater's movie or Lightning's. And the story was eye-rolling with its flimsy way of getting Mater involved into the spy games.
Cars 2 technically didn't suck, but with such a high standard for Pixar, it sure felt like it did, even with lowered expectations.
