I took my 3 year old....

Rating: 8/10 (11 June 2006)

It had enough make-your-head spin car action in the beginning and end to keep my toddler engaged through the movie (actually, he lasted until literally the last 60 seconds of the movie "momma, I gotta go pee pee!" so I don't really know what happened at the very end.
This was the first time he's ever been at the movie theater, and the whole surround sound amazed him - he kept turning his head around looking for the car behind him! As typical high-quality Disney material, the characters were rich with personality and emotions. As always, the talented writers, actors and director knew how appeal to the adults (especially those who merely are the 'chaperones') as well as to bring it down to a level for children to relate to. So much that I even CRIED twice during this animated cartoon!!! (of course I pretended to stretch while quickly wiping the tears with the swish of my sleeve) I fully recommend this movie - however, even though this was a movie my 3yr old enjoyed and sat through - the middle of the movie was slower paced, no racing fast cars. Also, the trailers added another 20 minutes to the whole movie experience, so if your child has short attention span, you might want to wait until trailers are ending before sitting down. The trailers were also pretty scary too - there was one trailer for a movie about a possessed house that trapped and ate anything that was nearby, scaring the crap out of the really young ones.
