Greenes Please don't spend money on this.
HottWwjdIam There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
priceturner Cars may not rank among Pixar's deepest stories, but it's classic characters and visuals, make for a generally entertaining film that will likely be more for an audience of younger viewers, but there is a certain charm to it.
Hollywood_Yoda Of all the films made about racing, or NASCAR in general, this is one of the best, if not the best. Even though it is animated, the story is incredibly moving and well paced. The actors who voice the cars, Paul Newman, Owen Wilson, Bonnie Hunt and Larry the Cable Guy do a spectacular job.The studio that created this film, PIXAR, has come long way. No one thought that films about Cars and Toys wold be this great, but they really are. In the eleven years since this films release, it is now a trilogy and one of the best franchises Disney has to offer.Paul Newman, having starred in this film, is a great parallel to his real life self being a racecar driver. And the film is a great parody/homage to Doc Hollywood, as it has been compared. Two major stars of this film have passed since its release, Paul Newman and George Carlin. However, they wrote Newman's character of Doc Hudson out of the sequels, but not Carlin's character of Fillmore. It is the start of a great trilogy!!
frankjones-84156 Okay, so Cars is not Pixar's best movie and it has been out shot by other movies they've created: Finding Nemo, Toy Story, Monsters Inc. This movie was really enjoyable and I really liked a lot of the scenes in it. Especially the drifting scene because that's what Cars do, right? The characters were also a lot of fun and the racing scenes were really entertaining. Although a lot of people think it's one of the weakest Pixar movies, I thought it was a really fun ride and definitely one that you can sit and watch.
Hitchcoc This is just a load of animated fun. Our dearest possessions, our cars, are made anthropomorphic, and take on the personalities of their functions. The old tow truck, voiced by Larry the Cable Guy, is my favorite character, and he functions as the voice of the drawling hick. The sports car is reckless and unpredictable. Of course, vehicles of law enforcement have their own way of acting as well. So the creators have put together an entire subculture where these vehicles are the stars. It sounds silly until we begin to be engaged in their roles. There are protagonists, antagonists, characters of comic relief, just like any movie, animated or not. Pixar has masterfully connected what would have been flat animated images and brought them to life. I'm not much of a car fancier, but this one still got me. There's adventure, romance, and a race. What else could we want?
