Pixar's worst! - Cars Reviews

Are the people that are reviewing this movie as an A+ aware that Pixar also made Toy Story and Finding Nemo?! Is this movie really on par with those films?! Uhhmm.....no is the answer you are looking for! I liked some of the visuals in this film, but that was all. The story was slow and boring and certainly nothing inspirational. I guess, perhaps, this is a good movie for kids, but often times these Disney/Pixar movies have a lot of jokes and things for adults. Didn't see it in this film, however. Maybe they needed Eddie Murphy to play one of the cars! This is just a side note, more or less, but I get a little tired of seeing the old stereotypes traught out for each "group" of people we have living in the US. Anyone else? The buck tooth tow truck representing all the hicks in the Southwest, the lowrider representing all the chicanos in the Southwest (side note to the side note - is there any latino more annoying than Cheech? don't think so!), and the fat black lady as the big car, etc. etc. - I guess this is how the people at Disney see all of us - a bunch of stereotypes. Perhaps this was funny 20 or 30 years ago - but quite frankly I'm a bit sick of it. If you are going to do a film of stereotypes, atleast have more than 1 representative for each "minority" group. There are several "white cars" showing the complexity of the white culture, but 1 latino car, 1 black car, 1 Italian car. A fair representation? Aw, but it is Disney, so it must be okay, right? Wrong! In conclusion, this is the worst Pixar movie I have seen. I was completely disappointed.
