Dear Pixar...in Regards to Cars 2...

Dear Pixar

What can I say?   You’ve opened up a whole new discussion at our house about how it isn’t nice to talk about killing someone or wanting them dead.

But that’s exactly what’s happened since we saw Cars 2.

Imagine our surprise, in the first ten minutes, there was a whole major shoot out/blow em up/chase scene…and a crushed (dead) car.

Awesome.

Thank goodness those things went over our three year old’s head as he sat perched in his theater seat clutching his beloved Mater and McQueen in his little hands.

Thank you for some really funny Mater moments.

But no thank you to the shoot em up/over the top violence/James Bond knock off/not really small kid friendly movie.

Oh yeah...and the story was stupid hard to follow. 

The original Cars will always be a favorite of mine, because there is NOTHING in that movie that I have to skip.  No one dies, no one disappears, no violence.

But Cars 2…alas…I’m not sure what to do with that movie.

It’s sad really.

To introduce terrorism and violence like that, via animation, to little kids that love Mater and McQueen.

Thanks…a lot.

PS...By the way.  Kiddo doesn't want to go back and see it again.  And isn't interested in any of the new characters except Finn McMissile. 

So there.
