Autot 2 / Bilar 2. US © 2011 Walt Disney Pictures / Pixar Animation Studios. P: Denise Ream. D: John Lasseter. Co-D: Brad Lewis. SC: Ben Queen - from a story by John Lasseter, Brad Lewis, and Dan Fogelman. AD: Jay Shuster. Art Department. Visual Effects department. Animation Department. Other crew (software, desktop and infrastructure, etc.). M: Michael Giacchino. S: Tom Myers. ED: Stephen Schaffer. Voice talent (English): Larry the Cable Guy (Mater), Owen Wilson (Lightning McQueen), Michael Caine (Finn McMissile), Emily Mortimer (Holley Shiftwell), Eddie Izzard (Sir Miles Axlerod), John Turturro (Francesco Bernoulli), Brent Musburger (Brent Mustangburger), Joe Mantegna (Grem). 106 min Walt Disney Company Finland, released in an original version and in a version spoken in Finnish (credits beyond the jump break). DCP 3D XpanD, Finnish-spoken version viewed at Tennispalatsi 1, Helsinki (day of Finnish premiere), 12 Aug 2011.
I have failed to see Cars (2006) but I was now impressed with Cars 2, a top Pixar digital animation directed by John Lasseter. The film-makers have seen classics such as Grand Prix (the approach to the locations is similar) and Le Mans (starring Steve McQueen: the Pixar star is called Lightning McQueen). There has been car-racing animation before, the Norwegian Flåklypa Grand Prix / Pinchcliffe Grand Prix (Ivo Caprino, NO 1975), but Pixar's approach is completely different. The approach to the action is consciously similar to the James Bond films starring Roger Moore. Even Michael Giacchino's music is like from a James Bond movie. Cars 2 is inspired by those models but not actually parodying them. There is a fiendish plot about global oil domination which British spies help foil. The novelty of the high tech story is that the actual protagonist is the battered and slow-witted tow truck Mater. A unique sequence is Mater's self-realization flashback montage. The Finnish version is inspired especially in Mater's voice performance by Heikki Silvennoinen, who speaks in the accent of Tampere. While the animation of the main story is astounding, I preferred the more stylized end title sequence animation.
The DCP 3D is successful in XpanD, and I had no problem with the brightness of the image.
P.S. 18 Aug 2011. There is now a debate in Finland about the rating of Cars 2; it is unrated here. In the screening I visited I noticed some five instances of walk-outs with very small children. There may be many reasons to walk-outs, but it crossed my mind that I would not recommend this movie to children under seven. The soundtrack was so thunderous that I don't think I was able to hear laughter from the audience. A special treat in cinema screenings of classic Disney films is the sound of the audience full of children laughing (my special memory of this is the Berlin premiere of Pocahontas at Zoo Palast), but it would not have been possible with a soundtrack like this. - P.S. 22 Aug 2011. Disney Finland has changed the rating to 7 (a 5-year-old may attend in the company of parents).
The Finnish-spoken version's credits are beyond the jump break.
