A little better than the first one, but not by much
TheLittleSongbird9 March 2014
Warning: Spoilers
Out of Spark Plug Entertainment's output, Cars Life 2 is the best of them. Is that saying much? No, not at all, it's still to me a bad movie. The colours are at least a little more vibrant and while still robotic-looking and at times choppily edited there is slightly less of that badly-slapped quality in the animation than there was in the first Cars Life movie. But just like the first, the characters and writing sink it. The characters are either too creepy(the villain, not as badly as the one in the first movie though) or incredibly obnoxious(just like the first Speedy, one of the most annoying animated characters of all time). The lead character is very unlikeable and irresponsible, and never once learns from any mistakes he makes. The voice acting grates very quickly, the voice actor of the father shouts his way throughout and Denise Finelli once again is like cats' claws on a blackboard. The rest are wooden, including the villain. The writing is not quite as bad as it was in the first Cars Life movie, but like its predecessor there is that sense of the movie not knowing what its target audience is. The "light-hearted" moments verge on crassly juvenile in a way that'd make Video Brinquedo animations seem tame, while some of the more adult content is just as creepy as the characters and is also rather sadistic, think the Gene Deitch Tom and Jerry cartoons but much worse. The story is very thin on the ground(like the first movie it is so stretched out it felt incredibly forced), it will bore kids and a lot of it will fly over their heads and Cars Life 2 is one of those rare instances where you can understand completely why an adult would dismiss a family movie as inappropriate. The dialogue is forced and heavy-handed, so to conclude it is not as awful as the first Cars Life but is still a complete mess. 2/10 Bethany Cox

Cars life 2: bad movie, even worse sequel
thesterlingweaver27 November 2021
Cars life 2 I guess was an okay idea to make cause the first was hilariously terrible, the animation is better than this one, the originals animation was ugly, this is okay animation, but how is it a bad sequel?, It has to do with the drastic animation change, diesels character design is different so Is speedys and Norbert's. But this is still a satisfying movie for kids and me as well.

An improvement over the first movie, but still mediocre at best.

Car's Life 2 is a sequel to the first movie (which was garbage, mind you), it revolves around Sparky getting a job and the less but still antagonist Diesel making a rivalling gas station and encouraging Sparky to "work" for her.

The movie has much better (but still iffy) animation and design, Speedy is far, FAR less annoying than she was in the first movie, Fender's voice is more entertaining and easy to listen to, and there are scenes in the movie that are funny.

The main problem I have with this movie is Sparky and how much of a brat he is towards his father, he gets himself into all sorts of problems and when Fender calls him out on it he reacts in a negative, bratty manner. Considering that he is said to be older ("I'm not a kid anymore!") I would think that Sparky would maybe grow up and act less like a whiny child.

This movie, like the previous suffers from bad logic. A barrel full of explosive liquid blows up a machine yet it doesn't do any sort of damage to Sparky and Petulia (have no idea how to pronounce her name) or the entire circus whatsoever.

To give it credit though, it's a pretty good movie for a mockbuster, and is surprisingly better than the first movie by a mile. It just needs some work and less padding.

Better Than The First
richiesburgers14 October 2019
After 5 years, A Car's Life got a sequel. And it's actually decent. There's no random big lipped alligator moments on my face, the animation is better, and the tone of the characters are better suited for kids. Example: Diesel has stopped smoking and changed her voice and appearance. The funny part was Diesel charging her customers as much as Mr. Krabs does. Good film, but a harmless one.

BEST ANIME EVER!

This movie is the best anime of all time because it includes many fan favorite characters like despactio 2, Ugandan knuckles and E. It's story is so complex, my 4 year old had trouble contemplating it, and he can read one word! The characters are so realistic in how they all need to share with each other, A GREAT LIFE LESSON! -Pyrocynical, Age 2.DESPACTIO

a cinematic experience like no other
bexta53210 July 2014
The film "A Cars Life 2" is undoubtedly the greatest atrocity every animated. The story line is soggy as a bowl of cereal that has been left out for several minutes, and just as tasteless. I feel the film would've been a lot shorter had Sparky simply taken a loan and bought himself a GPS. The voice actors sound like they have given up on life, which is not surprising, seeing as they were cast in this disaster of a film. What surprises me the most, however, is that this is a sequel; meaning that there is at least one more film in the series. Someone legitimately thought that the first film was successful enough to make a second. Who is even funding this? Somehow, the story was dragged out across 1 hour and 17 minutes; time I will never get back in my life. Time I could have spent finding a cure for various diseases, or actually doing something productive with my life. This film has aged me horribly, and I see no point in continuing living if such films plague the industry of cinema. So in conclusion: "A Cars Life 2" is a visual masterpiece, a grand spectacle of cinema, and should be viewed by everyone. It will shape a generation. 10/10 would recommend and watch again.
