Great animation, but feels too long

Rating: Null/10 (1 January 2007)

This animated film is about a race car being trapped in a small town when he is on his way to an important race. He makes a lot of new friends along the journey, and learns that life is not just about winning.
The animation is excellent in the film. Owen Wilson does a great job to bring the Lightning McQueen character alive, as he is lively and happy all the time. The car chases are well composed throughout, but I must say watching car chases for two hours gets rather boring. The ending is touching and inspiring, as Lightning McQueen learns about what is important in life. If the film was a just 90 minutes long, it would have been an excellent family movie.
