He just wasn't meant for that, he's a diversion, not the lead. Mater can be an entertaining enough character in small doses, but when he's absolutely insufferable when he's pushed to lead character status. He was the one who conceptualized the idea of Mater taking the lead role. He can do what he wants for Disney Animation Studios. At the time I stated that John Lasseter, who directed the film, should never have any direct involvement in the creating process of an animated film ever again, or at least ever again for Pixar.

Cars 2 was a movie that did talk down to its audience and assumed that they were as stupid as the characters that inhabited its world. They don't treat your children like they're morons, even though they may be. The thing about Pixar movies is that they are uncommonly smart. Cars 2 reflected that cynicism with an awful story with terrible characters. Disney saw a cash cow in the Cars franchise, given the popularity of the merchandise for the original movie. Here was a cynical movie produced for cynical reasons. The point is that Cars 2 changed everything, in my mind for Pixar. Ghibli won one for Spirited Away and Aardman for Wallace and Gromit: Curse of the Were-Rabbit. Out of 17 years Best Animated Feature has been a category at the Oscars, only TWICE has a non-American studio won. Both excellent films, but Persepolis, in my opinion, might have slightly edged out Ratatouille. The year Ratatouille won was also the year Persepolis came out. Part of me also thinks that's because the Academy, apparently, refuses to even consider any films by non-American studio. They've won like a gajillion Academy Awards for Best Animated Movie. You could make the argument that they're still above and beyond what anyone else is doing right now. It just turned out that, for the most part, Pixar's level of quality was above and beyond what anyone else was doing at the time. If I saw something I didn't like, I was gonna point it out. Perhaps I don't think that's fair to say, but you could make the argument. I guess you could make the argument that, prior to Cars 2, I was something of a Pixar apologist. There's can't be a Cars 3 with a second installment, right? That's how sequels work. That elephant in the room, obviously, is Cars 2.
I don't think a review of this film can start off without addressing the elephant in the room. I'm starting this review less than 30 minutes after I just finished watching this, so you know I got some shit to say.
