Great Movie

Rating: 9/10 (9 June 2006)

I usually watch movies for what they are and not what I want them to be, so I'm usually pretty generous when it comes to rating movies.
With that said, Cars is a charming animated movie with TONS of details about cars, driving and racing and mechanical minutia. Don't come to this movie expecting an Oscar worthy storyline or vast originality in terms of plot, because if you do, you will watch this movie in disgust and write a review slandering it as something not to be seen by anybody, anytime, anywhere. I'm tired of reading those reviews by film snobs who aren't looking at this film with a balanced mind.
Lightning McQueen is trying to win the Piston Cup and learns a few life lessons along the way. Great material to teach the children who watch this film how to become more sportsmanlike. Other than that, this movie satisfies the most detail oriented car buffs to heavenly bliss. All of the things you can notice about cars and America's fascination with all things automotive is basically covered in this film. Animating it all just gives it an additional cute factor.
If you see cars as more than vehicles to get around, then please watch this movie.
