The Review Broads Bros + Paws

Cars 2  Was this bound to happen?  Nothing could have topped Toy Story 3.  Does Pixar’s first feature after Toy Story 3 have to be so bad?  Unfortunately yes.  Pixar could not have made modern animated classics for almost 20 years just to produce this film.  This has to be someone’s fault.  OK maybe I’m being too harsh.  It was not that bad, but with Pixar the viewer expects a lot.  It's amusing, it's comic, it's ostentatious, it's filled with fast, spy mischiefs, but it's also flat, and ... continue reading...
