I liked the movie Cars, but it's really - imo - one of the lesser Pixar efforts and notably one of only two Pixar films I don't have in my personal library. That's too bad, because I'm sure Cars Land will make me want to see it again.
But I don't believe it will make me think it's a better film. Some films turn out to be better in other forms.
My prime example, and imho only, is The Lion King. I never knew what the fuss was all about with that movie. Yawn. I loved the art direction, it had a few enjoyable characters. Some of the songs were good, but the story was a boring re-tread, and I never though the movie was nearly as special as obviously most humans on earth thought it was.
But then I noticed something interesting. I found the Elton John versions of the songs better than the movie versions. The songs were better than I thought. Then the Broadway show came out, and I found that superior in every way to the movie. More oddly still, I found Disneyland's Lion King Parade to be the best of all. So it was a movie that didn't much move me, but had the kernels of great entertainment that I found better suited to other formats.
I'm sure Cars Land will strike me the same way. I'll find it Better than the very cute movie, and I'll be satisfied with that - - happy in fact that one of the Pixar movies I liked least got itself a second lease on life with a new and different inCARnation.
Meanwhile, Wednesday, Wednesday, Wednesday cannot get here soon enough!
