This week's addendum to the Deep Hurting Project: A Car's Life, a textbook mockbuster for Pixar's Cars, made by Video Brinquedo of Brazil. Surprisingly, this is the only one that actually made it into the Project:
- Well, it turns out that it's 40:38, which makes it a good change from developers who claim their movies are shorter than they actually are for some reason.
- And apparently, this movie is "inspired by a true father-son relatonship."
- And it looks like the flaws in this are all self-explanatory: rudimentary CGI, a stupid and very basic plot, scenes of filler even though it's 40 minutes (like the crane handing Pop his speeding ticket), lots of references to cars that don't make sense if there aren't drivers to these cars (at least Cars did it properly), and performances that sound bored when they're not ear-rapingly bad.
- So, Piston's been given a grave, and the hub, which is all they found of him, is just out in the open?
- Sensitive, Kind, Wise, Sparky. And he's a life coach despite just being a child.
- And why does an old Jeep have a voice like a 1940s Hollywood starlet? And why is she called Diesel? And why is she trying to seduce her ex-boyfriend's apparently underaged cousin?
- Booting is not carjacking.
- And of course Diesel killed Piston. Of course.
- Well, at least the music is decent, some good clarinet-based jazz that wouldn't be too out of place with the Modern Jazz Quartet if they replaced Milt Jackson with a clarinetist.
