I had typed up a pretty big reply earlier about the themes and qualities behind Cars and Ratatouille but I just wound up deleting it.  If, after watching the movies, all Zim got out of it was "Sell toy cars" and "A rat that can cook", my post wasn't going to change his mind.  I enjoyed both of them a lot.  My low expectations were smashed and I wound up buying both movies for my permanent collection (and Finding Nemo, too).  I guess he'd say  The Lion King was about "I'm a lion and I eat bugs".  To each, his own.

The lion king was a disgusting rip off of an old Japanese anime. The type of thing that had any company done it to Disney they would have been sued so badly they would have ceased to exist actually =). So I guess really the Lion King is a wonderful moral lesson about how big businesses will do whatever the hell they want regardless of laws and then sell their product to ignorant people who will eat it up.

And oh please the movies have the same basic messages that pretty much all kid's movies have. Follow your dreams, friends are important bla bla bla bla cliche cliche cliche. Seriously the plots, characters  and stories could have simply been generated by throwing a bunch of direct to dvd movies into a blender. No where did I say ratatouille was just about a rat that can cook but you desperately tried to put words in my mouth. Whereas cars really is just about selling toys, everything else is simply tacked on. We need a basic message, we need a flawed but lovable hero bla bla bla put it in microsoft word and hope the paper clip writes it for you. Everything those movies do is badly done.

How does cars try and sell you toy cars? It is a world where cars exist in the exact same form as today, complete with doors and so forth, but just have faces on them. The universe is as well thought out as just ''Put a face on cars'' job done. Many reviews even made note of the dearth of artistic vision and simple desire to flog toys. There is no thought at all in the movie. It is a simple case of; Toy cars sell well. Pixar merchandise sells well. Let's add these two things together. But hey it worked. Best selling merchandise of any pixar property.
