Very good

Rating: 8/10 (7 June 2020)

Gentlemen and gentlemen ... start your engines!
With an exciting opening led by a well-played 'rock', the adventure begins in the traditional molds of films starring humans, quickly introducing the protagonist (Lightning McQueen) and antagonists of the story.
Interesting to note that in the trailer it seemed to be a film about racing like Days of Thunder, which is the passion of the Americans. Fortunately, Carros is more than that and engages one gear after another, addressing a legitimate and human history, but full of games with the automobile world. And all very well thought out. From the symbol of the film with the 'V' of classic V8 engines to LightYear tires, a clear allusion to the traditional American tire brand GoodYear and also to the priceless Buzz LightYear, created by John Lasseter in the successful Toy Story.
As in recent animations, the family is the target audience. Therefore, there are many quotes for adults, which are meaningless for children, but make no difference to them. Examples include famous names such as Rock Hudson in the character Doc Hudson, Jay Leno in Jay Limo, pilot Mario Andretti, among others. And there are also scenes from classics like Youth Transviated, E.T., Extra-terrestrial., Immediate Third Degree Contacts and a sentence by Sharon Stone in Wild Instinct: "I provoke the most primitive instincts in 'cars'".
Even Fast and Furious gets a quote, in the approach of Mack (partner truck of the hero of the story) in the middle of the road and in the scene of the train line. The sequence that the tunados play Kenny G (a successful saxophonist, who has become synonymous with brega) is very good for doping Mack. The engine speed is already high and then you ask: but what does the film have to tell? Cars overlooks two very current issues that are (pun intended) the speeding promoted by technology and the advance of the signal with the lack of solidarity. And so, the paths are covered very safely in the curves and straights of a well-tied script. Anyone who has a minimum of knowledge and / or connection with the automobile world will be able to enjoy the author's trip more. It's fact.
After all, the richness of details contributes a lot to bring the work closer to perfection. There are, for example, an Italian owner of a tire shop played by a Fiat Topolino and whose assistant is a Romiseta. The duo, of course, is in love with Ferrari! And there is also Ramon. A genuine Impala representing the low-rider crowd. Even the van (immortalized by Hanna-Barbera in Scooby-Doo) has its hippie version in this work. His passages yield a good laugh, like the mania to listen in the morning to the American national anthem in the classic rock version of Hendrix as a counterpoint to the Sarge, a military Jeep that has not yet forgotten its barracks past.
Everything connected to the American vehicle industry gets a ride in the movie. The character Rei, for example, is a Corvette. If you want to have quality on the tracks of life you have to "float" like a Cadillac, says idol Doc Hudson to McQueen. The traditional Route 66, immortalized in the minds of millions of people around the world (even if not from the beat generation), is also there in the form of the unforgettable road sign or in music. And so on. That s America! Rest assured. The program is guaranteed. And the kids have everything to really enjoy this adventure. And as one of the songs in the film says: 'life is a highway' and making real friends is the best of prizes. Have a good trip!
