The film made a ton of money, it's been merchandised like no other Disney film and it's got a sequel....but I still was not bowled over by this one.

Rating: 8/10 (8 May 2014)

By now, "Cars" is an old film--and I am FINALLY getting around to reviewing it. So much for staying ahead of the curve! But because there are already a ton of reviews, I'll keep this short.
So what did I like about the film? Well, the animation is just unreal-- it's gorgeous from start to finish. It's obvious that John Lasseter is insane for cars and put a ton of effort into this one. GORGEOUS! As for the rest of the film, it's quite good, though I wasn't quite as bowled over by it as some. After all, it now has a sequel, a semi-sequel ("Planes") and some spin-off 'Mater shorts. I don't think the film was THAT good. But it was clearly enjoyable and pleasant throughout. Well worth seeing though I wish that Pixar would stop emphasizing sequels and started work on more originality. I understand why they don't, as it's all about marketing--and they marketed the crap out of this film.
