The drive of your life

Rating: 8/10 (17 July 2006)

I went to this film with mixed expectations. On one hand PIXAR have not failed me yet and on the other, it about Cars, why would I care? Would it be like watching Budgie the Helicopter or Thomas the Tank Engine?
The answer is plain and simple...............NO!
They've done it with Toys, Bugs, Monsters, Fish, Superheroes and now they've done it with Cars. By the phrase "done it" I mean created a believable world that you can have some form of connection with, to have an emotional attachment with the characters. Fantastic film for every reason possible, a great voice cast including Paul Newman and Owen Wilson and that old favourite from Toy Story and Monsters Inc and Cheers: John Ratzenberger!
The film is clever, simple but effective plot, inventive, playful, great for adults as well as kids and above all one of the funniest films I have seen in ages!!
I'm not a huge fan of NASCAR racing but the two main films I have seen covering this subject have both done it more than justice "Days of Thunder" and "CARS", the latter being markedly better than the former.
Go watch it, don't let it pass you by.
