    I just watched CARS with my kid yesterday. I got misty for Paul Newman, got a few jokes I missed the first 4 times, and actually appreciated Owen Wilson for the first time since Rushmore. I keep waiting for Pixar to fail, or at least disappoint. Not yet.

    @shag_carpet_bomb: Cars and Ratatouille are big chez BookishLookish, too. My kid loves them. Mom gets a bit of time to herself. All good.

    @BookishLookish: hehe, the joke I got this time around was when LMcQ tells everyone in Radiator Springs that Doc was a famous race car and has 3 Piston Cups! and TowMater spits out his oil and says "He what in his WHAT?" oh, snort!

    I would like someone to remake Spies Like Us -- maybe switch up the bad guys, have only one lead -- into an animated film about dogs and it should be named Mutts Like Me.

    @Meg: Would Paul McCartney still get to write the theme song? Did you know that was his last song to hit the top 40?

    @Midwesterner in NYC: As long as he doesn't ask Ringo Peace&LoveFuckOffPeace&Love Starr to join him, yeah! And I had no idea about that being his last top 40 song. But this soundtrack could really turn things around for him -- I know he's hurting for money.

    I hope they make "The Incredibles II" featuring TONS of Edna. Oh, how I love Edna.

    I would like to respectfully second your request for a sequel.

    Exactly. And um, Ratatouille was directed by Brad Bird, who also directed the incredibles and iron giant. Who the hell wrote this?

    @disinterested 3rd party: Brad Lewis is credited as a PRODUCER on Ratatouille. Brad Bird is a genius. That is all.

    Bolt isn't a Pixar film. It is a Wltl Disney Film, but not a Pixar film.

    @MalcolmCanace:


    That's exactly what I was going to say. I think the key word is that Pixar had to "rework" it after reuniting with Walt Disney... but that is a Disney movie through and through.

    @GirlyWhirl: If there is even a trace of quality to Bolt, Pixar gets the credit. The crappy parts? Blame Disney.

    @GirlyWhirl: It sounds like more than a typical reworking:


    "Once Lasseter and Catmull were installed, the new bosses quickly ordered a complete makeover of "Bolt."


    They fired the film's director, Chris Sanders, who had resisted story changes Lasseter wanted. Booted too were a cat with an eye patch and a giant radioactive rabbit. Even the title and dog changed. Originally called "American Dog" and starring a cuddly brown hound named Henry, it morphed into a story featuring a super-charged canine named Bolt, who sports a black lightning bolt emblazoned on his white fur."
