14 years on, I still don’t understand what Pixar was doing with the Cars franchise when it released the bizarre sequel, Cars 2. Pixar is notorious for its “What if X had feelings?” movie plotline trend, so it makes sense that the 2006 classic animated movie Cars was a hit, earning $462 million at the box office worldwide. In fact, the Pixar movie was so successful that it was actually the sixth highest-grossing film of 2006, and the movie about anthropomorphic vehicles featuring Owen Wilson launched a multimedia franchise, which included two sequels, as well as the spin-off movie, Planes.

While people's feelings about theCars franchise are varied, it's a classic for a reason. It's a great example of how Pixar has never been afraid to lean into the "What if X had feelings?" formula. The Cars films were some of the first to begin this trend, establishing a world where society is not run by humanity, but instead by sentient cars with feelings. However, there are multiple reasons why Cars is a divisive series. For instance, Cars 2 is regarded as a classic by some, but it was the first Pixar film to break the studio's streak of Oscar nominations.

Pixar continues bringing a variety of animated stories almost every year and is focusing on sequels again. Among them now is Cars, but this isn’t the Pixar franchise that needs a sequel. Pixar is still one of the most important studios in the world of animation, and it continues to consistently release at least one movie every year. Pixar has explored all types of fantasy worlds in its movies, such as one where toys come to life and one where monsters exist parallel to the human world, and it has also explored other cultures, as it did in Coco and Luca.

Pixar has earned its place as the powerhouse studio in the field of animation, and as such it has seen a lot of success, but one specific trilogy is the studio’s wildest movie franchise for various reasons. Pixar began its reign in animation in 1995 with Toy Story, the first entirely computer-animated feature film, which marked the beginning of years of high-quality animated movies. Toy Story continues to be Pixar’s biggest and most successful franchise, but it has also built other, smaller franchises.
