An advance review of “Cars 2” — sort of

Nanna Torhild of CC2K claims she saw a “super secret” advance screening of the Disney-Pixar animated film “Cars 2,” which won’t hit theaters until summer 2011.

Torhild said “Cars 2” was “good, but never feels Pixar good.” But before you set your expectations lower, this caveat sticks out like a proverbial sore thumb:

Since it’s still steeped in post-production about 70% of the movie was incomplete. There were a few completely animated scenes where the cars voices matched the mouth movements but the majority of the animation consisted of animated storyboards, flat animation and completed scenes with incomplete dialogue.

I’d be extremely skeptical of any review of a movie that’s only 30 percent finished. A lot of editing and story-polishing can be accomplished in the six-plus months before the film opens nationwide — especially when you factor in the additional flexibility that computer animation brings.

  1. A movie apparently about Mater reviewed by a Mater hater is given a bad review. Who would have guessed? At least she was honest. I did not know anyone did not like good ole Mater. Here’s hoping she is wrong about the movie.
