Here's some early opinions on Cars clips:

Comments on CARS Clips
Posted by AMID at 01:33 PM

Pixar previewed a couple clips from CARS at WonderCon in San Francisco last weekend. Here's a description of the clips shown. More interestingly, below is a collection of blog comments I found online that offers some sense of what WonderCon attendees thought of the clips. Discuss amongst yourselves.

Ohmi

They showed a couple of clips of it. Ugh Nascar.. and the main car character makes me think Nemo got turned into a Nascar car I sure hope this movie is better than it seems to be.

DocPockets

Pixar showed updated trailers to Cars that looks much better than the advanced trailers we saw last year (it's a very NASCAR movie, with some camera moves that are impossible in the real world. It looked cool.)

Macaco

Also I saw One Man Band and CARS IS GOING TO BE SO AWESOME oh my god I cannot even describe, it looks AMAZING they showed the first sequence in the film and like... I really don't like cars much but that bit they showed us... man it made me want to go hump a lambhorghini.

Michael

Overall, the trademark Pixar humor is still there, but I felt the topic of auto-racing limited its potential, as the footage didn't make me more excited about seeing the film.

SFist

The Pixar panel was pretty snooze-inducing, but we did get to see the Oscar-nominated short "One Man Band." We only wish Cars looked half as entertaining as that short.

Elton Wong

The clips shown generated excitement and laughter from the crowd. Looks like Disney and Pixar's merger will prove to be a valuable partnership in the long run.

Ryan Olsen

"Cars" looks a lot better with some of the fully-rendered clips presented by a panel from Pixar. The details are pretty breathtaking, IMO. Before I was concerned because the cars looked like Silly Putty in last-year's trailer. I'm still a little ambivalent, but I'm willing to see it.

God I can't wait for this movie.

EDIT: By the way what happened to the other two trailers? It's like they fell off the face of the earth.

Entertainment Weekly has a very short feature on Cars in their "Spring Movie Preview" issue this week. (even though Cars is a summer movie)
There are some rough drawings of some of the characters.

Also, there is this factoid that the main red character started out with "57" on him (for John Lassetter's birth year

) but they decided to change it to "95"--indeed, it's a very deliberate reference to Pixar's breakout year.

Do you have any scans?

Post by **ShyViolet** » February 20th, 2006, 2:36 pm

Sorry...I don't have the mag and I'm not sure how to do scans.

It really wasn't very much at all, I think you could see the same stuff on the Pixar/Luxo sites.

I like the new spot for Cars. Holy carp, am I looking foward to that racing scene. And I KNEW Mador was gonna say "Get Er Done" at some point during the movie.

Gah, that trailer's awesome! I wonder why the English trailers are always second-best to others.

It dawned on me this morning how appropriate it would be for Herbie to make a cameo in Cars. Y'know, in the background like in loads of other Disney films. Still, the odds of this happening are pretty slim. Such a waste... such a waste.
