Cars Toons: Mater's Tall Tales

Next up is a few episode shorts from Pixar, mostly about Mater. If you really like Cars and love Mater, then these shorts are for you. If you cannot stand Mater and the annoying things he says and does, then skip it. 

It keeps the kid entertained but I'm OK not seeing it again. I'm more excited for Cars 3. 

Cars 2

Time for the Pixar sequel, Cars 2. This one focuses a lot more on the sidekick, Mater.

Mater can be funny, but I prefer him in small doses. This film is still good with the added bonus of a lot of spy-fun! Lots of our favorite characters are back and new characters to love and hate, too. 

Cars

Yay! It's time for another Disney Pixar movie! I love this one. 

The talking cars and hilarious characters are so fun. I watched this with my nephew when he was little and loved it so much I couldn't wait to show my son when he was old enough to understand the film. There are so many good quotes from this movie but I do love the Float like a Cadillac Sting like a Beemer quote. 

If you have kids or you like cars and racing, this is definitely one to see. 

Brave

Time for a fired-up princess with an attitude! We watched the Disney Pixar's Brave. 

I enjoy this movie but it does start out pretty slow and dull. I think that is what made the boys a bit too antsy to enjoy the rest of it. Frank didn't seem to think Merida was good enough to be included in the Disney Princess line up. I think she is pretty bad ass and spunky. I just love her accent. The kid liked the "feast your eyes" parts. Anything that has to do with a butt is okay in his book. 

A Bug's Life

Moving on to our first Pixar movie in the challenge! 

We loved watching A Bug's Life. It was the kid's first time seeing it and it is fun to watch him fall in love with the same characters I did when I was little. My favorites were the caterpillar and lady bug - they are so funny. Other than that, bugs freak me out.   

We decided to make another dessert- this time it was Dirt! Some call it Mud. Either way, it is yummy.
