This is where it should end
2 December 2018
Warning: Spoilers
"Miss Fritter's Racing Skoool" is an animated short film from 2017, so still relatively recent, and this one here adds slightly under 3 more minutes of action to Pixar's Cars franchise or I should say to "Cars 3" of course. You won't see too much of the known characters here I believe except at the very beginning and end. In the middle, we get Miss Fritter and some other loud boastful cars associated with MF's Racing School. The characters are fine, but it all feels so rushed, which fits given the speed and adrenaline of the main characters, but it really gets in the way of creating a convincing story line and depth from any kind of perspective. I still think that Cars is perhaps the very weakest Pixar came up with in the lastg 20 years and really the almost only film (series) I'd say is rather for kids than grown-up from what they did, but now after the third and with this extremely mediocre and not particularly funny add-on, it is enough and there is no real need for a 4th film. Yes we should not take the excellent animation for granted, but it feels a bit difficult given the level of animation in film right now, also outside of Pixar. Overall, only see it if you (or your kids) really really adore Cars (3). I myelf give it a thumbs-down and it did not get me curious about finally checking out (more from) the franchise at all.
