Default Cars vs Kung fu Panda

What should i buy? I already own ratatouille and I instantly fell in love with the PQ. I love the way it actually seems 3rd dimentional oppose to dvd quality where it seems flat. I've seen both those movies and I like both but unfortunately i only have money for one. Got these questions>

People who own both those movies: which is the better eye treat? and..
Which storeyline is better in your opinion?

In Answer to your question i do have both ... But animated movies are like Lays Chips you can't have just one. But to avoid persecution i will say Cars. Although i love both and would never find myself asking the question of which animated movie to buy i would just get both.

Well they are kinda different, but they are both visually stunning. You are going to get alot of metallic surfaces in Cars, and different furs and feathers in Kung Fu Panda. I was in the same situation (I have seen Cars on Blu) and I went for the one I havn't seen which was Kung Fu, and I wasn't dissapointed. But I highly doubt you will be dissapointed in either one of these selections.

I personally liked Kung Fu Panda better. The pq on that movie is amazing! But Cars pq is nothing to sneeze at either, but i think Kung Fu Panda trumps it, even if it's by a small margin. And i own both movies, and have 2 young boys, so i've watched the movies...alot!

Wall E, the best animated movie of all time. The technical aspects of the BD are second to none as well.

Wall-e is the best

However if it was between Kung Fu and Cars, I would say Kung Fu 110 %. I really didn't care for Cars. PLus Kung Fu Panda is a fun and entertaining movie that kids and adults will both love.

I think Kung Fu Panda, Jack Black over Owen Wilson, and Kung Fu over Racing. It actually took me a while to see Cars as it didn't initialy grab my attention, I wanted to see Kung Fu Panda right away. Have to add though Wall-E is the shiznit.

Wall-E is my least favorite Pixar movie thus far. I thought it was a little overrated due to Pixar high status in the industry.

And to answer OP question. I have both and I think Cars is the better one. Movie-wise they are both enjoyable to watch. PQ-wise Cars is better. The PQ in Cars poped out more, to the point where the cars were like actual toy or something.

I still say Cars. Simply because of the eyes in the windshield. That was the way the older "car" cartoons were done and they brought it back big time... so CARS all the way. But of course when you get the chance pick up Kung Fu Panda you won't be disappointed

I am watching Kung Fu Panda right now with my daughter, but at the end of the day I would give the eye candy award to Cars; you just can't go wrong with PIXAR (Panda has fantastic animation, and it is like splitting hairs on which one is "better" - they are just different wrt subject matter, fur vs. shinny cars). As for the story, that is far too subjective for me to make a decision for you - besides you have seen both. Good luck.

They both have weak and typical stories. You know, of the kind that you've seen a million times before in every CGI animated flick. Kung Fu Panda is the more humorous and entertaining one, in my opinion -- despite the trite story. I was bored by Cars, which is the first time a Pixar film made me feel that way.

As for PQ, I haven't seen Kung Fu Panda on Blu-Ray yet, but I'm sure it'll look great. Most CGI films do, as there is no film grain to worry about.

Cars is a better movie overall, but Kung Fu Panda is better demo material in my opinion.

The "Skadoosh" scene, and the one where Tai Long escapes from prison will give any sound system a workout.

Both are definitely worth owning though.

I didn't care too much for the story line of Cars, but Kung Fu Panda was great (but I have both :-)).
