Looking for a good family-friendly flick this weekend? You might be best-advised to steer clear of Cars 2. (See what I did there?) For one thing, it's gotten pretty poor reviews (37% on Rotten Tomatoes). But the director came out and said he explicitly decided to make "big oil" the bad guy.

Good to know.
So did “Monsters, Inc.”
Why can’t they just keep the political crap out?! “Happy Feet” was good until the environmental message at the end. Goodness, just let them be kids movies!
Good to know. Hope it flops. Maybe they can next do a Monsters II and make Republicans the monsters.
Luckily I wasn’t feeling well yesterday and was napping when the girlfriend took a pack of her nieces and nephews to see the movie.
So, Lasseter (sp?), who grew up in the car culture of Souther California, thinks that big oil is the problem? The car culture exists only due to “big oil” going and doing what it does. Big Alcohol is a waste of time for normal vehicles. Big Battery can’t go more than 40 miles without help from Big Oil, or Big Coal, or Big Nuke. Big Oil also makes less profit per gallon than Big Government makes (in 2010, Exxon Mobil made just over $0.02/gallon profit for the year - the combined government take per gallon was, on average, over $0.45/gallon).
Well, dang, I was planning to take my young sons to see this. It would have been their first time in a theater. Not now!
There is no political crap for the kids, they just enjoy. It’s the parents that ruin things by making stuff political when it really doesn’t matter.
Why not take them, and let them be the judge of whether they enjoy it or not?
Glenn Beck spent almost the entire first hour of his radio show this morning talking about “Cars 2,” how his 6-year-old son wants to see this movie, how he, Glenn, doesn’t want to take his son to a movie that’s going to indocdrinate him, etc.

Same reason I don’t let them watch Will & Grace.
Its a great movie. Don’t worry about the humorless types above.
someone always slips this crap in so that they can get attaboys from about two dozen people at a Hollywood cocktail party...
Are they even the same?
I’m not big on fully animated films.
By portraying animals as furry people Walt Disney sold a lot of movies that slowly shifted the American culture.But the people who have run Walt Disney company since Walt are constantly in-your-face with their social agenda.
Yes, they are both pushing a liberal social agenda portrayed as entertainment. I don’t like it and don’t want my money supporting it.
