Disney Pixar's Cars

Hey Ben, when does this film come to England?

Have you seen it yet?

It would be really interesting to get your opinion of it, especially since some critics have called it too "American" and not something people in Europe could really get into.

I had a hard time getting into Finding Nemo because it was too Australian.

AAAGHH! They kept playing that commercail OVER and OVER again during that 20 Years of Pixar on ABC. It got a little annoying after a while...I had TiVo'ed it so every time I saw it when I was skipping through the commercails, I thought it had gone back to the documentary so I would stop it.

Kinoo liked it, and he's French.

Hmmm, that's true.

WHAT?! That's a huge reason that I got SO into Finding Nemo. I loved the australian accents on the sharks a lot. I loved Finding Nemo.

My rating for Pixar movies is:

The Incredibles
Finding Nemo
Cars
A Bug's Life
Toy Story 2
Monsters Inc
Toy Story

Here's mine:

Toy Story/ Toy Story 2
The Incredibles
Cars/ A Bug's Life
Monsters Inc.
Finding Nemo

The position of Cars might change after I see it again.

That's not to say it's not a good point, though. The best two animated movies I've seen this year are Cars and Over the Hedge, and, while they were both very good, they are very 'American'.

Wow, Mac. You've ranked Toy Story as your least favorite? No way.

Well, of all the Pixar movies, I know The Incredibles is my favorite and Monster's Inc. is MY least favorite, but it's hard for me to rank the other movies inbetween.

"A Bug's Life" is my least favorite. Probably.

Most of ther Pixar people exited on the other side of Mack (before the cars were packed up). Did you not see all the limos and hotel shuttles?

Why the infatuation with Brad and not JL???

My remark was meant as a joke.

Yeah. We were right next to the parking lot for the limos and SUVs, but everyone we saw come out of the exit was a regular person or a guest.

And my obsession with Brad Bird started after my other obsession, The Incredibles. Believe me. I was THRILLED just to be within 10 feet of John Lasseter, and you can bet I was shouting his name when everyone else wasn't. But Brad is my idol, and I'd do anything just to get a glimpse of him. *sighs* Someday...

If you saw JL leaving, then you saw a mess of Pixar folks too. Why do you think you didn't?

We didn't see JL leave - we were at/on the red carpet when he entered.
