Anton Ego Visits Cars Land

Well, well, here I am again. Anton Ego at your service. I’ve been once again asked to write a feature on this site and for some unknown reason I agreed. This time my hosts insisted on my visiting another Disney Park – California Adventure. Will we have adventure? I highly doubt it.

Do I detect a bit of Art Deco? I’ve been told this is modeled on the famed Pan Pacific Auditorium. I must visit it. What is that you say? Torn down? Why am I not surprised?

Pardon me, could you tell me the way to Cars Land? Excuse me? Hello? Hmph. And they say we French are rude.

Perhaps this newspaper will advise me on where to go. What’s this I see? “I” on Food with Inglebert Irving? Well we shall see whether you have what it takes to be a critic, Mr. Irving. We shall see.

I suppose this is it. Let’s see if this Cars Land lives up to its colorful advertisement.

Wait in line? Anton Ego does not wait in line! Take me to the VIP entrance!

Ahem. VIP entrance? I am the most renowned critic in all of France! Surely you have heard of me.

All that waiting for a tractor pull?

Must…rest…That was no mere tractor pull! That was exciting! Exhilarating, even! Shall we ride again?

Who is this Stanley?

Faster, faster I say! That other vehicle is overtaking us!

Interesting concept. The establishment is named Cozy Cone and all the food items come in a cone. Ingenious. I shall suggest this to Remy when I return to Paris.

I. Am. Not. Amused.

As a critic I know a thing or two about ambiance. And this Cars Land has it.

I graciously agreed to step out of these photos. I did not want to upstage the neon.

Hmm. My awards are bigger.
