Not Pixar's Best... Bet very enjoyable!

Rating: 8/10 (23 June 2006)

Cars, the new CGI animation flick from the people whom brought you Toy Story, Finding Nemo, and Monster's Inc.
Now Pixar has churned out some of the best CGI Animated films I have ever seen. Their care and love for each project is what keeps people flocking to the cinema's year after year. Although Cars isn't their best film, it is one of the most enjoyable films I have seen to date. The story has a very moral theme, and shows not only the kids, but the adults about selfishness.
Pixar films although aimed at the young audiences, has also been great entertainment for the adults, and Cars is the one film I would say was more tailored for the adult audience. The humor alone is very adult oriented, but not that it would offend kids, it just helps the parents enjoy the film while their kids get to enjoy the animation.
My favorite characters are probably Filmore (Voiced by George Carlin) and Mater (Voiced by Larry the Cable Guy) The comedic timing of their delivery is superb, and are clearly the driving force behind this animated buddy picture. The adults will enjoy the humor from both these characters and enjoy the theme of the film as well.
Cars is about Lighting McQueen, a race car lost on his way to the big Piston Cup race in California. On his way he becomes lost in the forgotten town of Radiator springs. A town that bustled in the hay day before interstate highways came along. Radiator Springs is filled with great residents, all talking cars, enjoying the slow paced life of their forgotten town, but they still have hopes that one day their forgotten little burg will be hoping again.
The great thing about Cars is how they are able to show the real life we all know being lived through Cars. They go about their business much like we do and the situations they find themselves in will have you busting a gut every minute you can. I guarantee you will sit there and go "Oh my god"... WOW... etc etc. You won't be disappointed in the least bit.
The film runs about 2 hours in length which is a little much for the youngin's, but I guarantee they will enjoy it as much as you will.
8 out of 10.
