Cars 2 - Lightning McQueen takes on the world

"Cars" is the Pixar movie where I thought they would finally take a fall.  I didn't like the art in previews but my kids wanted to see and away we went.   Like everyone else, I thought the finished product was terrific.

For "Cars 2", unlike (the also terrific) "Toy Story 3", John Lasseter is back directing.   Basically, I am sold that these guys can do no wrong after fifteen solid years of doing no wrong.

The basic premise is that Lightning McQueen (Owen Wilson) and Mater (Larry the Cable Guy) go overseas to compete in the first-ever World Grand Prix to determine the world’s fastest car.  I don't need to know anything else, just take my 8 bucks.
