Another Pixar Masterpiece!

Rating: 10/10 (23 June 2006)

I had to admit, I wasn't sure that I'd like this movie. The whole race car thing is just not for me, but I took my son and his friend. Boy, was I ever surprised! The movie is exciting in the right places and heartwarming as well. There is a part of the film that really reminds me of the scene in Toy Story II when Jessie sings the song about kids growing up and forgetting about their toys (who DIDN'T get a little choked up in that scene?). The writers and animators have done another fine job.
So, to sum up, take the whole family. There's something for everyone to enjoy. If you want me to compare it to other Pixar features, I'd rate it better than Monsters, Inc. and The Incredibles, about as charming as Finding Nemo, but still not as awesome as the ultimate (to me, anyway): Toy Story (I and II).
