I think most trailers I watch of theirs I think the movie looks retarded, such as ratatouille and Up, and both of them have absolutely blown me away after watching the full length.
I would think they are going to deliver the goods on Cars 2. Practically every boy I know from 2 years old to 12 loves this move and buys all the toys, slippers, backpacks, etc. that goes with it. I would think this movie is one that everyone is looking forward to and I doubt Pixar will let it fail. Plus I think WALL-E was the first flop
WALL-E made me cry. That movie was brilliant. Ratatouille was their first flop.
It actually looks good. Trailer seems fun, what are you talking about. Pixar pulled Wall-E off with super ambiguous trailer and no dialogue. I never doubt Pixar.
It is rather random why they chose Cars for their sequel. I think it would be SO much more interesting to do The Incredibles (shape shifting baby!) or even Monsters Inc.
Why Cars?
It's no secret that John Lasseter is a HUGE car buff and even runs auto shows in the Pixar parking lot. The first Cars was specifically for his sake, as I'm sure the next is. I hope this answers your question.

Budget: $150 million
Gross revenue: $623,722,818
making it a more successful movie (not including merchandise) than Wall-E or Cars
again, as someone else already put it, just because you didn't like it that doesn't mean its a flop
I was just quoting the review sites.
They are making cars 2 because cars was by far their most financially successful film. Maybe not ticket wise or dvdwise, but the merchandising was unbelievable compared to other pixar films. Its hard to make many toys out of wall-e or ratatoullie, but Cars naturally lends itself to thousands of different toys.
what, where Ratatouille gets 96% from both Metacritic and Rotten Tomatoes? General audience reviews are lower but they're still above 80% which puts it in relative elite status.
Geeze, don't get all butt-hurt over an animated movie. I typed in "Pixar first flop" in Google and the first dozen hits or so pointed out Ratatouille was considered their first flop, and Pixar blamed Disney for not marketing it enough.

Merchandise tied to the Cars franchise has generated global retail sales of more than $8 billion, Walt Disney said Monday. That makes it one of the company’s top franchises at what are now $2 billion in global retail sales annually.
Disney detailed the merchandise strength of Disney/Pixar hit Cars, which has grown its retail business since its launch in 2006, here on Monday as the entertainment giant unveiled what it expects to be its largest licensed film merchandise program ever for Cars 2.
In an event tied to Toy Fair, which opened here this weekend, Disney brought Cars 2 voice actors Michael Caine and Emily Mortimer to the stage to help unveil a line of more than 300 toys for the June 24 release. Over 200 million die-cast cars tied to the franchise have sold to-date, the company said.
I *think* (as with Toy Story 1) Nemo was rendered at sub 1080, maybe even sub-720 resolution?
I could be wrong on this, though. truly fucks things up when the content is pure digital.
same issue with the shitty new Star Wars movies. Not that any sane person would care to own those, though.
