Cars 2 (Two-Disc Blu-ray / DVD Combo in DVD Packaging)

Just as Described! Thank you!

In my opinion, this is the BEST Cars movie. It isn't just a race like the other movies, it is much more than that. The plot is fun, goofy, and a little insane, but that's what I like, and many kids like it as well. If you have not watched this movie then watch it. DO NOT let the critics tell you not to watch it. You're welcome

Cars is a must fir all ages

We've had this movie for a while now, we initially purchased it for our daughter, but it quickly became one of our son's all time favorites. Because he's non-verbal with only a few word approximations, and on his speech device he usually only wants to request things he wants, and only occasionally tell us what his emotional state is. And, as many a person finds out, if you ask him to say hi to them his usual response is "no," so I'm going to have to give you what I, as his mom, think may be the most likely reason he loves this movie so much. Because it has far more plot then he usually has any sort of interest in. It's all about Mater, and most of this movie involves a plot line about Mater.Mater is his own kind of cool, but as Lightning's discomfort indicates in the early stages of the movie, probably not cool by the standards of many of the actual "cool" kids of the cars world. He doesn't keep his paint job looking nice, he's missing parts, he's covered in dents, he's socially awkward, frequently says things that are not quite appropriate for the occasion, and he sometimes does gross things. And yet, he unwittingly saves the day and gets a chance to have the girl, which are things that aren't as often shown happening for characters with Mater's type of "cool." I imagine Mater is pretty easy to relate to for a child who is doing the very best they can, but because of challenges beyond their control, be it Autism or genetic disorders causing intellectual disability or whatever, just can't quite fit in. Maybe they are like my son, and don't understand the basic rules society operates under. Maybe they can't handle the way stylish clothes feel on their bodies. Maybe they're just not sure how to talk comfortably with others. And maybe they are like Mater, who is shown as being viewed as less intelligent then those around him, to the point where one of the other characters mentions that he's doing a great job acting the part of the fool (because this character just assumed, I'm guessing, nobody could actually be that awkward or seemingly unintelligent, etc. therefore it must be an act.).This is the reality of many special needs kids, they are definitely their own kind of cool just like Mater, and they want to feel like they can save the day and get the girl or the guy. And I think that's why my son likes Mater and he loves this movie. Mater's silly (and my son loves silly), he's not perfect, other people laugh at him (and unfortunately he knows what that is like as well), and yet, Mater still saves the day. He's the only one in the end who figures out correctly who the bad guy is. I know some people feel like the spy plot doesn't work. But I love that this movie makes Mater the hero, because I think Mater is a character that many kiddos with specialized needs can relate to. And they need to see that characters/people who don't look or act perfect can still do heroic things, and so can they. Mater's his own kind of cool, just like my son, and so is this movie.

I don't understand why this movie gets so much hate! It's a James Bond style movie, but kid appropriate and loads of fun! I'm a Mater fan so to have a whole movie with him as the primary focus makes me happy. A case of mistaken identity and confusion thrusts the clueless Mater into international espionage. What's not to love?

I had a very unusual experience seeing this movie in theaters.I watched it, I had a great time, I laughed, cheered, was thrilled, and the moment the credits started to roll the people in the row behind me IMMEDIATELY started spouting off how much they HATED it. I was flabbergasted. I was sorely tempted to turn around and ask them if we even just saw the same movie? How could anyone hate something that's so much FUN?!But after thinking about it, I could see actually why they didn't get into it. Cars 2 is the first Pixar movie where you really have to 'get the joke' of the premise, or the whole thing falls apart like a house of cards. What this movie is, is the best James Bond movie of the last 15 years (not counting Casino Royale which transcends Bond movies to be just a great spy movie), with a bit of The Accidental Spy thrown in.I LOVE Bond movies. The crazy opening sequences, the insane gadgets, the quippy lines. And Cars 2 hit pitch perfect parodies of every Bond standard. But you could never say of any Bond movie that it's got a deep emotional core, that's not how they're made. They're made to be balls to the wall fun and thrills, and that's what this movie is. Which of course makes it the polar opposite of the original Cars. It could hardly be more different.If you get the joke, that this is a James Bond movie with cars, it's a riot. Loads of fun. It's not deep, it's not going to tug at your heart strings, it will not make your mother cry three or four times (as virtually ever Pixar movie ever made prior has done to my mother, I take her to Pixar movies with a bucket). It's just riotous fun. And I'm amazed that people are punishing Pixar for making a movie that's just pure fun. Granted Pixar is famous for it's deep emotional stories, and I suppose people expect that sort of thing every time. Even if you make a fun and entertaining movie, if you don't do what people expect, they bite your head off for it.I went in with few expectations cause the early reviews bashed it to pieces, and I was frankly not that big a fan of the original movie. In the first Cars McQueen spends an enormous amount of the movie whining, and I found him generally unlikeable until fully halfway through the movie. It was a good movie, with a lot of heart and a message, but not one I would describe as a lot of FUN. Mater especially, a little of him went a long way in the first movie, and I was really worried about him being the star of this movie, because if a little of him annoyed me in the first movie, this one has 10 times more of him.And yet, he actually annoyed me LESS this time around, cause he had something to do instead of just hanging around being Mater. They struck a perfect balance in his 'mater-ness' where the Accidental Spy nature of his story is charming instead of just annoying. And even more to my amazement, Mater's unique perspective DOES actually help solve the mystery. He's not just a bumbling idiot gumming up the works, he does actually help.I was also constantly amused at the imagination that went into Cars-ifying the world. Even little touches like the swanky party in Towkyo (not a typo! ha!), the elevators are giant pistons that come out of the floor. I didn't expect it at all but once I saw it was it was so perfect.To sum up, I have to say, I enjoyed this movie MORE than the original Cars. Yet at the same time I'll fully agree that the original is a technically superior film in writing and character, but Cars 2 is way more fun. If you go into this with the right attitude, that you're seeing a James Bond movie with Cars, that it's meant to be pure fun and embrace it on that level, there's a lot to love.The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is it IS shallow. I won't say it's a perfect film on every level cause it's not. But it doesn't deserve the hate it's getting, it's just a fun movie, and there's nothing wrong with that. If it doesn't quite transcend to the levels of brilliance of The Incredibles or Wall:E, that doesn't make it BAD, it suffers only in comparison to other Pixar work, compared to anything else, it rocks. :)

Great movie

Excelente gracias

Dopo la leggerezza e le fragorose risate del primo capitolo, questa seconda storia lascia inizialmente spiazzati: la prima visione quasi sconvolge per l'estrema serietà e il taglio cinematografico che si è dato alla trama e alla regia. Tecnicamente sontuoso, si rivaluta dopo la seconda visione: ci sono così tante situazioni e personaggi rispetto al capostipite che serve guardarlo 2/3 volte per apprezzarlo appieno.Gli extra di questa versione a 2 dischi sono ECCELLENTI. Davvero un ottimo blu ray!Peccato che le riedizioni siano mancanti del disco extra! Questa è la migliore edizione da avere.

Well produced movie and my autistic grandson love Cars 1 and 2.

My son was very happy.
