Let the Pixar gang do their jobs

Rating: Null/10 (28 March 2007)

"CARS" (2006): I'm just going to repeat myself: Pixar CANNOT be beaten in the visual animation & cartoon story market. The visuals are SUPERB. Detailing, light/shadow, texture, perspective, wit, and characters with soul, make their (predictable theme) stories pure pleasure. Within the stories are the family/societal lessons we expect from Disney (whenever they've been at their best), and, they (the Corporation) SEEM to have the SENSE to leave the Pixar people alone. Pixar approaches a project as MORE than just "another cartoon", and the results are there to see and feel. Not since the Fleischer brothers of the 20's, 30's, and 40's, has anyone been more innovative and thorough. Pixar kicks everyone's butts - including the good looking but generally empty products of their main competitor. To make the comparison, rent "A Bug's Life" and "Antz". Watch them both on one night. "Antz" first. That says it all. "CARS" is a must-own for me.
