Cars (2006) - Get Your Kicks on Route 66!

Rating: 9/10 (10 July 2011)

Talking toys! Talking bugs! Talking monsters! Talking fish! Now, talking cars? Oh, my! A talking race car movie! How awesome is that? The story of racing rookie Lightning McQueen thinks his career is a walk in the park, when he suddenly ends up in a town called Radiator Springs and meets some particular faces, and learns that there is more to life than gold medals. Now, this is something I call completely inspirational. I thought "Cars" was an excellent movie from Pixar, and another movie that uses fiction to teach real-life lessons. And the voice talents of Owen Wilson, Paul Newman, Bonnie Hunt, Michael Keaton, Larry the Cable Guy, and an appearance by racing star Richard Petty was all quite impressive. I thought the story was well true to life, it's another Pixar flick with a big heart, and it was actually pretty funny. I felt that the movie really taught that everything else in life is more important than winning a lot of races. I love the animation, the heart, the characters, and all of those racing scenes. This movie just makes you want to go out there and race to glory. Wow, what a funny pun! Now, it's time to rev up the engines and head back home! "Cars", in my review, "hilariously awesome, and has a big heart".
