Good, but not great

Rating: Null/10 (31 July 2011)

As a fan of Pixar's output I must say that, like many others, Cars is probably my least favourite movie of theirs. This tale of anthropomorphic cars, in which conceited racing car Lightning McQueen is taught a useful life lesson about humility by the inhabitants of small town Radiator Springs.
As one expects with Pixar, everything is technically flawless - one marvels at the look of this film, and the voice talent is all excellent, The story is well constructed and the moral, a good one, is delivered without being hammered mercilessly home.
Yet I don't know what it is, but I just can't warm to it. I can appreciate it, but it doesn't touch me in the way that Pixar's other movies do. Maybe it's just that I'm not a car person, because the mechanical Wall-E touched me deeply.
