Pixar's two weakest films... that aren't bad at all. Going with Brave, as Cars felt more like it was strictly targeted to very young children.

Love them both, I'm going with Cars.

Cars aims slow, but succeeds. Brave aims high and really falls apart. At least Cars had a consistent narrative flow, no matter how middling it may be.

I enjoyed Brave but Cars is a lot stronger film.

Both sucks. Cars and Cars 2 over Brave.

I'm going with Brave

Cars was quite weak compared to Brave. I really liked Brave's scenes.

Cars by a long shot. Brave is okay, but it's really boring.

Cars succeeds at what it's trying to do: be a fun kids movie. It isn't trying to be an emotional masterpiece like most Pixar movies. Brave does try to be an emotional masterpiece, and fails horribly, to the point where Cars is a more investing experience. But what really elevates Cars above Brave is Chick Hicks, one of Pixar's greatest villains. "Ka-chigga" lives on in everyone's memories. Meanwhile, Mor'du, the big bad of Brave, has absolutely no personality beyond being power-hungry. Brave is mediocre, and Cars is decent, putting Cars above Brave.
