To coin an old phrase: fun for kids of all ages.

Rating: 10/10 (25 November 2006)

I started this movie looking for entertainment for my grandson, and ended up enthralled and enchanted by this wonderful movie. It's hard to imagine that animation can be made to look so realistic, and much of the time I had to remind myself that cars can't really talk like that. The ability animators have to inject realism into a movie has never been better illustrated. It's a far cry from the way things were when I was young.
The characters in this movie were both diverse and extremely likable. Well, not all of the characters were likable, but I'll let everyone decide for themselves who is and who isn't. A fun part for me was figuring out which actor's voice went with each character. I was surprised how much Bonnie Hunt sounds like Ellen DeGeneres. It seems to me that each actor brought a little of their own personality to their character, which greatly contributed to the overall movie.
My only problem with this movie (and it's a small one) is the storyline. The plot is very reminiscent of "Doc Hollywood" (starring Michael J. Fox), with a little touch of "American Graffiti" thrown in during one short segment. But, it's only a small problem because I loved both of those movies.
All in all, I highly recommend this movie for all to watch and enjoy. It's a delightful movie experience!
