Cars 2

I saw it last night and had a hoot watching it! I was expecting a bit of a bomb and surprised myself by really enjoying it. It is a different flavour to the other Pixar movies that we've been watching, but it did what it set out to do - be a fast-paced rollercoaster action/spy movie comedy. I found it a lot of fun to watch.

Has no one else seen this yet?

Nup... sorry, we got sidetracked on the weekend.... hoping to see it very soon though.

Still no for us too.

Just booked tickets to see it tomorrow afternoon

We're just going to Dumaresq Street (a small independent, small-screen cinema with cheap movies and cheap munchies - for those unfamiliar with our area) because we are taking all three boys

I'm aware that I might have to leave the cinema with any or all of the kids at any time, but I'm really hoping not. We can bribe Ben with popcorn and other snacks and I think Jared will enjoy it, so that leaves Josh, and I'm hoping he'll sleep through it.

This going to animated movies with kids is a whole lot harder than going just as adults!

My youngest tried to go to Dumaresq St yesterday to see it and it was booked out, I couldn't believe it! We haven't seen it yet, just haven't had a chance. Just getting over the State Age Championships from last weekend.

Wow, glad I booked tickets already.

I was going to go to the State Age last weekend, my cousin's daughter plays for Illawarra U/12s. Of course, as is often the case with the boys - it didn't happen. Hope you had a good weekend Anthony, three days of netball is always exhausting!

Saw it and loved it

Craig reckons it's his favourite Pixar movie yet.

The boys were great, Jared got a little restless when he ran out of popcorn, but they were really well behaved. Josh slept through most of it so his opinion isn't worth getting, but the other two really liked it. Ben didn't even get upset or scared which I was worried about.

Our biggest laugh didn't come from the movie though, it came during the Toy Story short before-hand. Ben was watching it with a worried look on his face and then leaned across to me and whispered "Mummy, this is the wrong movie!". Very cute.... but you probably had to be there

Finally saw it. We enjoyed it. It was a fun action packed movie, very different from what we're used to. Graphics and animation stunning. However I will say that I thought it was just a movie length version of Mater's Tall Tales.

Yep - that's exactly right. It was fun and well animated, but didn't have that Pixar epic feel.

It didn't, and I think that threw me a little. Still enjoyed it though, but won't go down as a "classic". The race scenes were great, enjoyed them. And we discovered a little titbit of information regarding Frosty's character as well. Did you notice that he didn't appear in the credits?

I'm sure I saw his name. That's the only way I remembered who it was.

You mustn't have stayed to the very end. They had an "Australian Version" set of credits after the main set which included a thank you to Mark "Frosty" Winterbottom, as well as all the people involved in the Australian regionalised version of the movie.

I also think the race scenes were brilliant - I thought I was watching a real race a few times during the Tokyo sequence!

That's correct we didn't. It's funny, we were sitting there during the credits, the only ones left in the cinema and we were contemplating staying, because it's the normal thing to do, right? But then we just got up and left. Should have stayed to see the Australian credits, I assume there was no "movie" at the end, ala Pirates?

Was our version different to the rest of the world? Did they have different versions for different countries?
