Of all Pixar releases, Cars is one of the most geared for junior audience share (read: selling merchandises). That's why the first two movies are often a scapegoat. In fact, if Cars had a smart concept about the application of culture and the trivial car in human life, while Cars 2 is quite entertaining as a homage to espionage 70s. Not a touching spectacle is a "mistake", a notion that is actually less precise especially considering Cars is a child animation. Until the final round of the trilogy, when Pixar stuck between making a spectacle of a boy or try to give a touch of maturity.
"We want to continue to reap the benefits of merchandise sales, but feel obliged to maintain the reputation of producing works of weight", maybe so thought the Pixar officials. Be Cars 3 highlights Lightning McQueen (Owen Wilson) the legend of the Piston racing championship which is now beginning to fade, beating the young cars much more prime. Not mistaken, even according to the natural path of development of the protagonist. Then there was Cruz Ramirez (Cristela Alonzo), a young female car who initially worked on McQueen, before it was revealed that he had a dream of the past that failed to materialize, bringing the story of this full-blown trilogy back to the beginning of everything, completing the journey of the main character.
It took a long time for the film to reach the main point of storytelling. Too long. Before finally bringing McQueen to the realization that the age-related physical weakness can be overcome by the ingenuity of the experience, the trio of Kiel Murray's trio, Bob Peterson, and Mike Rich pacing highlights things that are less supportive of McQueen's learning process. Coastal training, participation in a demolition derby (one of the most interesting sequences) so just a distraction. True some useful build-up Cruz characterization, but end up sacrificing solidity McQueen process. When the time came for McQueen to be highlighted, the movie has passed half the duration, producing a second half filled with a variety of instantly packed instant progress, Behind the purpose of the movie, what can the child's audience enjoy? Tucked away in meaningful gender stitches, but for McQueen's own story, it's no longer coming-of-age, but growing old. It's more appropriate for adults unless you intend to teach a lesson "when you are old, realize your weakness, give the baton a relay to the younger". The visual technical that tends to focus on representing puddles, trees, or hyper-realistic ground bumps rather than the colourful cheerfulness that will be more in tune with the imaginative world of movie cars. Boys will not care about that scene. At least some humour is pretty intriguing.
Can I create adult animated content for adult audiences? Definitely allowed. Pixar, in particular, has repeatedly succeeded in doing so (Up and Inside Out are among the best-animated movies for an adult). But Cars is not the right tool. The car is a high-level blast spraying an imaginary world instead of a media of contemplative exposure that completely stole the fantasy of imagination. And if you want to touch the more intelligent adult realm, why is Jackson Storm (Armie Hammer) still made a cliché figure of "black" antagonist? The contrast of black against white does not match the effort to appear mature and smart. This is a sports competition. There's no need to make it a battle between good and evil unless it's for children.
As McQueen no longer makes the racing activity exciting, Cars 3 comes aside the packaging of the exciting half-hearted race moments, provided the car races to the finish line. Except for demolition derby, compete with other car speeds passing minimal impressions Related focus to drama direction, nor does this film save the power of taste. Although McQueen's crash at the beginning was enough to grab hold of the heart, the rest was just a void of contemplative drama presented half-baked. Cars 3 so Pixar effort to force themselves to maintain a reputation as an animation studio with a smart story as well as full of emotions touching the variety of joints of life. Too mature for children, too on the surface for adult viewers of deep meaning, too boring for exciting entertainment seekers. Designed for whom Cars 3?
