Is Cars 3 Crossing The Line?

Pixar's upcoming looks dark and gritty. Is that weird?

On June 16 2017, Disney/Pixar's latest "Cars 3" will release six years after "Cars 2," a sequel that got mixed to negative reception. The first trailer released last week, and ever since then, the trailer has been getting a lot of comments from viewers, especially how the trailer has a dark, gritty vibe to it that deviates from the previous two movies.

The trailer features an intense car race which looks way too realistic for its own good (amazing stuff, animators) and a turbo-charged car speeding through the others. Suddenly, as Lightning McQueen is heading towards the lead, his tires give out and as the trailer cuts to black, we hear a crashing sound, and as we fade back in, it shows McQueen flipping in the air with tires shot and debris flying. The screen then cuts to black and the text reads "From This Moment Everything Will Change."

The trailer has been received mostly positively, but the criticism is the tone of the trailer, which makes it seem that Lightning McQueen might die in this movie. There have been reports of children crying in theatres and parents complaining about the tone of this movie. The poster of the movie also features the horrific crash taking place, albeit with a little more color. At this point, the question that comes up is....is Disney going too far with this sneak peek at their next movie?

Honestly, no. They've done this before. Several times. And we know this. Almost every Disney movie we've ever seen recently had that heartbreaking moment, whether it be a death or just an outbreak of emotions. Most recently, in Moana, there was such a scene (no spoilers for that movie). In Inside Out, in order to let Joy get out of the Memory Dump, Bing Bong sacrifices himself in a tearjerker of a scene. In Finding Dory, the scene where Dory reunites with her parents also brings out tears of joy.

Let's go back further than these movies. Everyone will tell you that one of the most emotionally stirring scenes in cinematic history is Mufasa's death in "The Lion King," and it is considered so for obvious reasons. Simba sees his father killed by his uncle in front of him and keeps telling Mufasa's trampled-on body that they need to go home. Bambi's mother dies in Bambi....the list goes on and on.

Recently, Disney has bought several franchises like Marvel and Star Wars, which have also had some gruesome moments that are pretty graphic/disturbing for younger audiences. Captain America Civil War ends with a literal bare-knuckled fist fight between Iron Man and Captain America which gets pretty bloody for a Marvel movie and Star Wars: The Force Awakens killed off Han Solo, one of the greatest characters in cinematic history.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
