Cars 2

I saw Cars 2 today and much enjoyed it.  I had to stiffle my laughter otherwise I would've spoiled it for the rest of the movie patrons.

Comments:
First of all, I would like to make the observation that if this movie had been live-action done with humans, it probably would've been rated PG-13.  Cars die.  On screen (or very nearly).  No, this isn't a spoiler.  It happens in the first 10 minutes of the film.  Just sets the tone for a good chunk of the film.
The film is very Mater-centric which isn't a horrible thing (I rather like him) but I was hoping for a little more Lightning and Radiator Springs crew.
Sadly, I can't read kana very fastly but I swear I read "zuka" in one of the Tokyo scenes.  *reminds self to stop thinking about the Zuka club from Ouran*
Wasabi is not ice cream.  I knew what was coming.  My mom learned the hard way that it is not guacamole, either, years ago.  XD
Cars was about Lightning McQueen finding himself, friends and a home.  Cars 2 is about Mater finding out who he is against the backdrop of spies and world car races.
I had a lot of laughs during the movie.  It has Mater, how can I now laugh?  Really, too many for me to list specific things.  The one line I remember well I can't share because its a spoiler!

All thoughts being what they are, I still enjoyed the film.  Surprisingly dark for a G film.  But maybe that's because I go to the movies so infrequently and hardly watch TV anymore that I'm resensitized (instead of desensitized)?

Wonder what I'm going to think after seeing Transformers: Dark of the Moon tomorrow?

And I want to see Brave, the next Disney Pixar film and I've only seen the teaser trailer and read the brief entry on Wikipedia.  >.>

Sadly, tomorrow is the last day I have before I have to go back to work.  I'm so glad I took off a real chunk of time for my brother's wedding.  I could use more but I'll take what I can.
