Time to Slow Down

Rating: 8/10 (28 June 2006)

Pixar done it again, Seven movies in a row and no flops in sight for me. The name Pixar is now synonymous with good story, great computer animation and overall entertaining entertainment for all ages and definitely worth buying a cinema ticket for.
I didn't have high hopes for this one and was worried that Cars might be the first "not so good one". The first half was quite a drag with the characterization build up that I thought it's my worst fear coming true. But then from the second half, it builds its momentum and race to the magical and touching ending.
Even tho It has all the predictable element for a kid movie but with Pixar, it will still makes you fall in love with the characters n storyline.
and It's not hard to see why John Lasseter was inspired to write this film after taking a break (a road trip with his family) from his hectic work. The way Lightning McQueen was blazing up in the race circuit was pretty much like John Lasseter's raise in the animation world. During the quest to be number one, one could easily forgotten what is really important and the importance of slowing down. Like any Road Trip, it's not the destination that matters but the journey, specially with your love ones.
