Definitely one to watch again

Rating: 9/10 (19 December 2006)

When I was asked if I would see this, I had my doubts. In fact, I didn't go. I stayed home and watched my Abbott and Costello, thinking Pixar was on its last legs. I didn't see it until is came out on DVD, then I gave it the benefit of a doubt. And am I glad.
The morals in this story seem slightly "We've seen all this before" and it is partly true. Where the themes being to think of others before yourself, that accomplishments need to be more than just "an empty cup," and all that jazz about who your real friends are, the usual. But the much-used morals, the kind that in the end give you goose bumps, are fully made up for by the rest of the film.
The animation is the traditional Pixar Perfect, of course. Although some are saying that the characters are not well developed, and as alive as the car in your garage, I disagree. The way the animation was done makes them look lively, and their voice actors did a good job in making them sound human. Not to mention the characters develop rather nicely, considering all they had to work with were cars.
Where some people find the humor is "Cars" to be without much taste, much of it being bad car puns and such, I find it enjoyable, there being some older humor, and some younger, making a good combination of laughs.
I find "Cars" to be a film that adults can watch with their kids without thinking that it is too fuzzy, or finding themselves clicking the remote to find out how much longer there is to go. I can promise you that you will enjoy it, despite your age or attention span.
