By far the worst Pixar film

Rating: 4/10 (10 March 2007)

I'm sorry, I just didn't like it at all. First of all there's the opening race : boring, it's way too long, it's just to show off clean special effects. Then there's the story, one of the most simplistic ans sentimentalist ever. Okay ! it's a film for children, great, but when it just has some crappy predictable and moralistic end (they're teaching our children that friendship is a good thing). I mean, compare that with Toy Story, or even Snow White, and you see that films for children can be superb without having to give a pompous lesson, some of the scenes really made me feel sick (the hero and his gal riding in the forest with silly music, pathetic). AND it's not even that funny, the scripwriterS (yes, more than one) only managed to crack about five jokes in two long hours of SFX and cheesy romance. The only good thing about it was the thing about small towns being cut off from the world because of a big motorway that had been recently built.
