Not Coming to a Theater Near You
There are things you do hate, Lord. Perfume-smellin’ things, lacy things, things with curly hair.

Nothing in Pixar’s track record had prepared me for this- there have been glitches before, most notably the fairly underwhelming Bug’s Life, but overall it’s been a pretty good run. Until now. Cars is everything a Pixar movie shouldn’t be: loud, annoying, emptily flashy, populated by thin, obvious characters spouting the lamest clichés imaginable. The plot is stolen practically scene for scene from Doc Hollywood (and was hardly the most original idea to begin with), the script is lazy and way overlong. The anthropomorphisation of the vehicles ranges from annoying to confusing (how do they build stuff?) to downright creepy (sexual innuendos are rife, and deeply inappropriate). The animation is far too bright and colourful, inducing dizziness. But worst of all, the film is just plain boring, every scene predictable, every joke signposted, every sentiment sickening.
