The car ad is great in its awkwardness and &#8220;Why is this happening?&#8221; quality, and the actual movie clip is great and shows the inspired ideas that makes Pixar great. <\/p>\n<p>Like the writer for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.slashfilm.com\/cars-2-clip\/\" target=\"blank\">SlashFilm<\/a> said, I&#8217;d like to watch a whole movie about the car salesman, because the viral video is made with such humor and expertise that it&#8217;s a great piece of storytelling in and of itself. And, to me, it&#8217;s much more interesting than anything in the world of &#8220;Cars&#8221;. <\/p>\n<p>If I may inject my own two cents here, I&#8217;ve never been a huge &#8220;Cars&#8221; fan. The whole idea of a world run by cars leaves me cold, especially since there are obviously human-made things like buildings, gas stations, roads and highways, stadiums, etc. To me, &#8220;Cars&#8221; just doesn&#8217;t work as as family-friendly film because of this reason. Now, if it was a family-friendly film that actually addressed the post-apocalyptic world these cars have to be in for this to make sense, then I&#8217;d be all over it. But as it is, the film series is just &#8220;fine&#8221;. With that said, the clip we get from the sequel does look pretty awesome, if only because Pixar knows how to make a good film, no matter who or what&#8217;s the main character. <\/p>\n<p>You can view the two videos below. What do you think?
