Once again, Pixar proves it has its heart in the right place

Rating: 9/10 (24 November 2008)

I wasn't one of those persons who thought a car as a character was a bad idea. Mainly because, well, I love cars. But I did wonder - what kind of story can be told about a car - a story that is engaging enough to compete with stories about cherished toys of our youth, a fish separated from his father, or a cute ant banished from his colony? It turns out I shouldn't have worried at all - because, as always, Pixar didn't do a story specific to a car - it did a story everyone can relate to. Cars are just an excuse to tell it, and have a lot of fun.
Years and years after it came out, I'm still enjoying the little details here, there and everywhere a car nut can appreciate. The love for America and cars in general is pretty evident throughout the movie. But, guess what? That really doesn't matter. I think the really important thing here is, once again, Pixar made a story that has more of a human side than many other movies with real life actors.
And, once again, the fact that they did it with bits and bytes is nothing short of amazing.
9 / 10.
