Is Cars a Remake!?

Rating: 9/10 (4 March 2008)

I loved this movie! I thought it was terrific! Great story line. Excellent animation blended with witty humor, and fun characters. But I have this knack of finding similarities in movies. As I watched this movie, something seemed a bit familiar to me, and I couldn't quite figure out what it was. Then it finally dawned on me.
This movie is basically the 1991 Michael J. Fox hit movie "Doc Hollywood", but in the form of animated cars instead of regular live actors. In Cars, you have Lightning McQueen as the main race car character, who is trying to make his way to the big race showdown, and in Doc Hollywood, you have Fox portraying a just out of med school rookie doctor looking to make big money in California practicing plastic surgery. Both are side-tracked by accidents in small towns and are forced into some kind of civic duty before being freed. Enter a new- found love interest into the picture, who the main character helplessly falls for, and he then has to define to himself what he really wants out of life. A life in the fast lane with fame and fortune, or a relaxing slowed-down life in "Sleepy Town, USA".
So, if you haven't seen the movie "Doc Hollywood". I suggest you rent it and see for yourself. I give both movies a 9 out of 10. Even though they are very similar.
