A great film Pixar at it's best!

Rating: 9/10 (30 July 2006)

Based on reviews I had seen, I was not expecting too much from this film. This added to my surprise at quite how good a film this is. Another factor might be that we know by now that Pixar appreciate that 'the Devil is in the detail'. Being a sad petrol head I would have been disappointed if the detail had not been observed in terms of the audio and visual aspect of the cars. Sally the Porsche both looked and sounded the part with her flat six burble.
With 'The Incredibles' I don't remember there being quite so much subtle/hidden humour, Cars is packed with it, it takes some effort to keep up the hidden funnies such as the stickers on 'Lightening McQueen'. Also, the quality of images is excellent, the improvement over the last film is significant.
Another quality point is the sympathetic relationship of the actors to their parts. Best case in point being Steve McQueen as the forgotten legend 'Doc Hudson'.
All in all, well done Pixar.
