In this pretty freew...

But in Hollywood, real events often do not follow a traditional film’s three act str...

Hi. Welcome to the Add More Mouse podcast. Dave and Mike love Disney stuff. They are doing a miniseries on Disney sequels. For this episode, they decided to discuss Cars 2. They have questions. So many questions. The most important of which is: how do you make a sequel to a story about small town pride and courage in the face of uncertainty? You add machine guns, explosions, torture and death, and voila: you get Cars 2.
