Pixar Gold, a real Classic

Rating: 10/10 (11 June 2006)

Ever since I was little, I loved cars. I loved playing with little Matchbox cars to watching them cruise along the road. This Pixar movie took me by surprise as I didn't really go into the movie expecting much more than what the title and basic plot suggested, all I wanted to hear was Paul Newman's voice behind the Hudson Hornet and maybe catch some of those delicious CGI sceneries.
Everything; from the voice-overs to the CGI to the story to the colorful characters had something special for everyone. The jokes were genuinely funny as well as the lines some of the characters made and even the cameo roles.
While your average 2-4 year old might not understand most of it, you certainly will. The movie is chock-full of little surprises that'll make any car enthusiast chuckle heartily.
Owen Wilson who played Lightning McQueen, the racing car with a cocky attitude and adrenaline for gas, was actually very good in his role in my opinion. Owen played the act well right down to the end of the movie, which is sure to surprise anyone. All I can say is: "Ka-Chow!"
Paul Newman, the legend voicing a legend, played his role of Doc Hudson to perfection. I'm not sure what it is; the tough gravel voice, the baby blues in the windshield, or the certain air of mystery surrounding his character, but Doc Hudson was my favorite Cars character throughout the movie.
All in all, this was a very enjoyable movie. I can barely wait for the DVD but nowadays the DVD comes out just a month after so thats good. I can almost see myself shelling out another 10 bucks for this gem. Another thing I really liked about this movie was its length, its like reading a good book. I just don't want it to end.
I rate this *****/***** 5 out 5 stars.
Watch out for the four street racers, you can't miss em!
