Cars

Pros: Some stunning animation, scenery, good intentions, most of the voice cast...
Cons: Too long, too sappy, stereotypes, fart jokes, Larry the Cable Guy gets to play himself...

This is one of those reviews that it literally pains me to write. We saw "Cars" the week it came out, but it's taken me two weeks to come to grips with the fact that I really didn't enjoy it much. I'm doing my best to support Pixar, we've been buying ...

Pros: story, voices, animation, soundtrack
Cons: product tie-ins already sucked in my son

Pixar Studios seems to have a magic touch. Right from their debut in big-screen animation with Toy Story, they have been putting out creative, imaginative animation films that generally work as well for adult as well as the children who ...

Pros: Voice acting, animation, music, jokes, everything!!
Cons: A little predictable

Cars is the latest offering from PIXAR Animation Studies in association with Walt Disney studios. The star of the show is Lightning McQueen, a rookie racing car who is in contention for winning the Piston Cup in his first season – ...

Pros: The stunning animation, voice acting.
Cons: The Story.

Pixar has definitely established themselves as a heavyweight player in the animated film genre. From A Bug's Life to The Incredibles they have polished computer animation to new levels. Indeed with Cars the most amazing thing about ...

Pros: absolutely dazzling with cutting-edge animation and great direction
Cons: familiar story line

Cars is an animated delight, which is high praise from a guy who really didn't want to see it. I was front-row bedazzled at the 1995 release of Toy Story, but a lot of my enthusiasm has waned in 11 years. While Pixar is the undisputed king of 3-D ...

Pros: The animation; The Comedy; The Characters
Cons: Some slow, boring moments

Each year, an animated movie or two is released to a large number of theaters and each year, at least one of these releases turns into a critically acclaimed box office hit. The movie from 2006 that holds this honor is Cars, an animated comedy ...

Pros: stunning animation, heartfelt, great voice cast
Cons: some of the Nascar stuff is a bit too manic

Well, I can check one more item off my summer to-do list. Last night, after a great deal of eager anticipation, I saw Cars, the latest Disney / Pixar collaboration. I’ve heard a lot of good things about it, and I am happy to report that the ...

Pros: Valuable message, excellent voices,
Cons: It's a little long.

Cars (2006), is an animated movie that begins with an overconfident rookie race car named Lightning McQueen (Owen Wilson), who is inside of his trailer thinking about the upcoming race. McQueen drives out of his trailer and is immediately ...

Pros: I love Owen Wilson, animated or live!
Cons: Very long, dragged in parts.

A couple nights ago, Z and I were talking about how we never take the kids to the movies anymore, and thought maybe we were cheating them on all the grandeur by hosting movie/family nights at home. So last night, we went out to dinner and then went to ...

Pros: Surprisingly "human" characters, excellent animation, good voice-acting
Cons: Fairly formulaic, unexciting musical score

I’m going to be honest. I don’t really like cars. I’m not into racing, even though I live in Indiana. This movie didn’t look all that appealing to me. However, I am a big fan of Pixar and I had faith they would be able to create ...

Pros: Animation, Characters, Voice Actors/Actresses, Plot, Humorous script, and so much more!
Cons: Too long of a wait for DVD release!

I could hardly believe Cars was an animated kids movie in the opening scene, with up close shots of the flawless body of racecar rookie Lightning McQueen. Everything from the glares, reflections, motions, landscapes, cityscapes, racetracks, crowds, and ...

Pros: It's a great children's film.
Cons: It was a little long to expect younger kids to sit.

Warning, may be a bit of a spoiler. When I woke my son up the Friday morning that Cars opened, I was not in the mood for a movie, but I promised him we would go see Cars. When we got to the theatre there was a large group of kids, plus two buses ...

Pros: Fun, humorous, enjoyable and you can relate it to real life characters, the animation!
Cons: None really, was perfect.

I went to see this movie today, knowing that there was some terrific talent, a tremendous number of years and some excellent PIXAR animation to look forward to in the movie. I did not realize it would be this fantastic! I thoroughly enjoyed the ...

Pros: Great animation; solid story; fantastic cast; my kids loved it
Cons: Story seems very familiar

Cars is actually a hard film to rate. Why? Because it's not one of the best efforts from Pixar, but that's rather like saying Let it Be isn't the best album put out by the Beatles. So, Cars might not be the best film in which Pixar ...

Pros: Hilarious and offering far more of interest than just about any animated movie made yet.
Cons: A bit long.

Considering the way the price of fuel is going up, American automobiles may be a relic of history one of these days, so it is good that before that happens, a really definitive movie about CARs shows us what the inner magic of "the car experience" is/was ...
