Worth the hype....

Rating: 10/10 (10 June 2006)

The trailers have not even done this film justice.
Cars has a great, multi-faceted, storyline with lots of "laugh out loud" moments for everyone in the family. And the animation is glorious. I don't know how these guys do it. There were a couple of moments when it was truly hard to discern that this was an animated flick.
My kids (ages 5 and almost 3) enjoyed it immensely and haven't been able to stop playing "cars" since we got home from the theater. The storyline is also very entertaining for all ages which Pixar is so gifted at.
The characters are terrific and the casting couldn't have been better. Owen Wilson, Bonnie Hunt, Paul Newman and Larry the Cable Guy, in particular couldn't have been better suited for this movie. And Cheech Marin...who else could have played the Low Rider Ramone?
This is a MUST SEE for the whole family. I whole-heartedly recommend it!
