Agreed, Cars is my least favorite Disney/Pixar movie.

Cars 2 actually made me appreciate Cars 1 more. Cars 1 had it's flaws, but I can at least say "it was decent." Cars 2 felt like a step backwards. I think the biggest problem was switching the main character from Lightning McQueen to Mater. Mater is better as a comic relief, not as a main hero.

I don't have very high hopes for Cars 3, but at least we're getting The Incredibles 2 (with Brad Bird returning to direct and write).
