I thought the movie and company were great! After enduring thirty minutes or so of Johnny Depp mumbling something about a "creuuuuue" I'd had it and went home, so I don't personally think anyone missed much.
I'll have to get the DVD of Cars 2 and pause a lot to take in all the car-themed scenery and figure out what a few of them were. There's at least as much detail as the first movie! The three-wheeled Reliant Robin flipping over (true to life), "Peet stop", Mama Topolino was a Fiat Topolino, etc.
I went through a rack of "Cars" cars at the Walmart on Brainerd a couple of days ago. Someone had already picked out every Fillmore from the six-or-so flats they had out. Also, there's no David Hobbscap Jag! There's a two-pack of the other two commentators, but no Hobbs! Boo-hiss!
