I guess I just wasn't a fan of Mater being the main character. I really believe that sidekicks are sidekicks for a reason and they should stay that way. I saw Cars 2 recently and Mater kind of annoyed me a little bit after a while. Just a personal pet peeve, anyway.
Haven't seen the third one, but it seems like the consensus is ''better than the last one, but still underwhelming.'' I hope Coco is as good as Inside Out. Pixar has been hit or miss lately, at least in my opinion.
Mater would be our biggest complaint about #2 as well. I can only take so much of him. I wasn't a big fan of Inside Out. I think that's just me though. I think movies tend to trivialize depression.
We are not into the Cars movies at all. I remember being distinctly underwhelmed at the first one, while also surprised that it seemed to steal from Doc Hollywood so blatantly. But I know loads of kids that love it. Coco is interesting - we love The Book of Life here, so will be interesting to see how they compare.
We loved Book of Life. I just don't think Coco will be as good though. One of the things that made Book of Life so good was that it combined modern values and music onto a classic story.
