Spectacular animation, wonderful actors with an okay story.

Rating: 8/10 (30 June 2006)

It was a "cute" movie and the animations were as reported, spectacular. I did fall asleep for a few minutes in the middle though. The story can be slow. It is all about lessons in life and learning about priorities without any real humor to it. I heard the audience laugh at one point but since I didn't laugh I can't even recall what they found amusing.
I recently saw "Over The Hedge" and liked it so much better. Though some of the lessons were the same, I think I liked it more because there were silly antics and a bad guy(materialistic woman) to root against all the way through the film.
One thing that I observed about Cars that I hadn't experienced before, people actually sat through the credits. There were little clips and incredible music going on while the credits were rolling. My children had to nudge me to get up and I noticed the majority of the audience were equally entranced.
I will most definitely buy it when it comes out on DVD because it is a good kids movie. I won't be sitting through it again though.
