Is Cars 3 Crossing The Line?

Pixar's upcoming looks dark and gritty. Is that weird?

On June 16 2017, Disney/Pixar's latest "Cars 3" will release six years after "Cars 2," a sequel that got mixed to negative reception. The first trailer released last week, and ever since then, the trailer has been getting a lot of comments from viewers, especially how the trailer has a dark, gritty vibe to it that deviates from the previous two movies.

The trailer features an intense car race which looks way too realistic for its own good (amazing stuff, animators) and a turbo-charged car speeding through the others. Suddenly, as Lightning McQueen is heading towards the lead, his tires give out and as the trailer cuts to black, we hear a crashing sound, and as we fade back in, it shows McQueen flipping in the air with tires shot and debris flying. The screen then cuts to black and the text reads "From This Moment Everything Will Change."

The trailer has been received mostly positively, but the criticism is the tone of the trailer, which makes it seem that Lightning McQueen might die in this movie. There have been reports of children crying in theatres and parents complaining about the tone of this movie. The poster of the movie also features the horrific crash taking place, albeit with a little more color. At this point, the question that comes up is....is Disney going too far with this sneak peek at their next movie?

Honestly, no. They've done this before. Several times. And we know this. Almost every Disney movie we've ever seen recently had that heartbreaking moment, whether it be a death or just an outbreak of emotions. Most recently, in Moana, there was such a scene (no spoilers for that movie). In Inside Out, in order to let Joy get out of the Memory Dump, Bing Bong sacrifices himself in a tearjerker of a scene. In Finding Dory, the scene where Dory reunites with her parents also brings out tears of joy.

Let's go back further than these movies. Everyone will tell you that one of the most emotionally stirring scenes in cinematic history is Mufasa's death in "The Lion King," and it is considered so for obvious reasons. Simba sees his father killed by his uncle in front of him and keeps telling Mufasa's trampled-on body that they need to go home. Bambi's mother dies in Bambi....the list goes on and on.

Recently, Disney has bought several franchises like Marvel and Star Wars, which have also had some gruesome moments that are pretty graphic/disturbing for younger audiences. Captain America Civil War ends with a literal bare-knuckled fist fight between Iron Man and Captain America which gets pretty bloody for a Marvel movie and Star Wars: The Force Awakens killed off Han Solo, one of the greatest characters in cinematic history.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
