A great family movie

Rating: 10/10 (14 June 2006)

The commercials/trailers for this movie did not entice me into wanting to see this movie.
My 7 year old son said that it looked "so cool". I was apprehensive as some of the animated movies that I have seen in the past few years have not lived up to the hype (Madagascar, Ice Age 2). Boy was I wrong about this one, from the very beginning, I was truly entertained with this film. It had jokes that my kids got and many jokes for the parents.
The story was very well done. I was amazed at the swift character development of the main characters. You could relate to each character. I had a hard time picking a favorite. But, if I had to, it would be Mater (or Mack) ..see how difficult is it? I think the biggest thrill for my family was the ending(s) with the other Pixar films. It was so funny. Especially the bit with John Ratzenberger. He has always been one of my favorite voices. If you look hard enough you can find him in the Empire Strikes Back :-)
