Last Friday our Family had the privileged of being invited to an advanced screening of Disney Pixar’s Cars 2 in 3D.
and yes we were SO excited, we got to see the movie before the the swanky people from the Hollywood premier ((giggles)) Major Happy dance!!!
The movie was absolutely fun! It was well worth the long wait. The graphics were amazing. Tokyo, Paris, Radiator Springs, and all the international espionage that goes on during all of that travel just had my kids on the edge of their seats!!!
My 5 year old son who just loves to talk during EVERY movie, did not say a word during the entire thing!
About the movie, NO SPOILERS; I promise!
Mater who we all love, get’s mistaken for an international spy and it’s a non-stop race for both Mater and McQueen during the First ever World Grand Prix. Mater’s costumes during the middle of the movie are hilarious! Ever heard of “Mater-hosen?” LOL!!!
Here are some of the adorable new cars and cameos:
- In this movie McQueen no longer has sticker headlights, he has the real deal!
- The tires on McQueen are “LightYear” brand, relating it to “Buzz” from Toy Story
- As another reference to Toy Story, McQueen’s #95 is for1995; the year Toy Story was released
- In Toy Story 3, you can see a poster with Finn McMissle in Andy’s room
- John Lasetter and wife were told in a trip to Paris that when you cross the Pont Des Arts, couples are supposed to kiss. It’s adorable to see it in Cars 2 😉
- Another thing about Pont Des Arts is that it has a long time custom where couples attach padlocks to the rails and throw the key in the river, sealing their love. Look at the railings in the movie, you will see locks 😉
So fun!
I cant wait to take my son this weekend! He is going to LOVE it.
Looking forward to seeing you at The Big Toy Book’s Sweet Suite in San Diego! 🙂
We are super excited to see it! Thanks for the great review! Knowing that your 5 yr old sat through it without a word makes me feel a little more at ease with taking MY 5 yr old to see it! 😉
