Best movie (so far) of 2006

Rating: 10/10 (2 July 2006)

This movie was better than I expected. It had heart, and had some great lessons about learning to put others ahead of yourself and to think of others instead of being obsessed with getting attention for yourself. Not Disney's finest, but certainly a winner for me. The music was good as well, Sheryl Crow's "Real Gone" and Rascal Flatts "Life is a Highway" set the mood for the film perfectly. I'm a fan of country music anyway, and of Rascal Flatts. I loved this two songs. I can't wait for this film to come out on DVD, so I can watch it endlessly. This ranks among my favorites for Disney/Pixar's films: 1. Cars, 2. Finding Nemo, 3. Toy Story 2, 4. Toy Story. All of these are excellent in animation and story. I even cried at parts of the story, especially when McQueen pushed The King to the finish line, and when Mater and McQueen were developing their close friendship. Also, when McQueen found out that being cared for (in more than just publicity) and caring about others was great. That really was what stood out to me. Great job, Disney and Pixar!
