I have this theory that there's a Lovecraftian abomination taking residence below Pixar studios. There's an unmarked door, and when you enter it, you become upon a labyrinth that leads to a monster of tentacles and sucking pores. Its size is unimaginable.

The only sound it makes is more cars.

I don't like Cars but I think they can do some cool things with them like races.

The next movie after Monsters Inc. 2 should be Cars 3. I can't wait to buy more toy cars.

The video description should really read "Because they like gold chains and diamond pieces."

It was a great header/subheader. I think Navarro's writing has improved significantly over the last few months.

I've changed my mind. I'm going to roll Brave and buy a giant Wall-E mount so I can crush all the other players. And when the Wall-E opens its chest cavity, a swarm of cars will spill out and clean up the survivors.

Can you name the last Disney movie that came out that wasn't made by Pixar? I think it would be strange if they tried doing this without Pixar.

Its good to know that theyre getting their absolute worst property out of the way first, because now I can be certain that I don't care about Infinity.

I'm guessing that the purple one is the female? And the rusty brown one with the buckteeth is a hillbilly? :\

I hope they don't release too many playsets too fast. Got to have a steady pace, I want some of their television shows represented. Phineas and Ferb FTW :)

This is seeming more and more like Pixar: Infinity rather than Disney. Where are the cartoons and movies they're famous for?

Really? "Because of course [it is/they are/they did/etc.]" is pretty much Alex's catchphrase. Sure, it's a pertinent header this time, but he still heavily overuses it everywhere but The Guns of Navarro, where he writes somewhat more formally. Seriously, go back and watch any Happy Hour or TNT or Quick Look where Alex mentions the actions of a movie studio, director, large publisher, or real any well known business entity: he is all but guaranteed to use that phrase.

It's a little semantically frustrating, since the phrase following "because" isn't actually a reason or cause, and is instead merely expressing that it's the behaviour you would expect. It barely means anything.

I think Alex can be a fine writer, but I still am not a fan of him when he is speaking conversationally, because all of his turns of phrase are trying too hard to be sarcastic and some barely make any sense.
