Hudson Hornet

Rating: 9/10 (18 June 2006)

Great movie! Terrific humor for children AND adults! Here's an addition to the trivia page. It's not by chance that Doc is a Hudson Hornet. Hudson Hornet's won the NASCAR championship in '51, '52 and '53.
The animation is unbelievable! The cars throw up bits of rubber off the tires as they circle the track, just like NASCAR! There are so many car images embedded in the film, and the cars are so realistic--sounds strange for an animated movie, but I'm a car guy and it was incredible! Also, the sound is fantastic, notice when Mack is dozing while driving down the road....that's the sound a diesel truck makes with it's Jake Brake--a device used for slowing big trucks down with the engine exhaust. Sally sounds just like a Porsche....the gravel crunching under the wheels, all of it is just flat incredible! And good Ol' Darrell.....Boogity, boogity, boogity!
Great movie for race fans and their children (grandchildren, nieces and nephews!)
