Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Reviews: There's an extra coat of hot wax on Pixar's vibrant, NASCAR-influenced comedy about a world populated entirely by cars. Lightning McQueen (voiced by Owen Wilson) is the slick rookie taking the Piston Cup series by storm when the last race of the season (the film's high-octane opening) ends in a three-way tie. On the way to the tie-breaker race in California, Lightning loses his way off Route 66 in the Southwest desert and is taught to stop and smell the roses by the forgotten citizens of Radiator Springs. It's odd to have such a slim story from the whizzes of Pixar, and the film pales a bit from their other films (though can that be a fair comparison?). Nonetheless, Cars is another gleaming ride with Pixar founder John Lasseter, who's directing for the first time since Toy Story 2. There's the usual spectrum of excellent characters teamed with appropriate voice talent, loads of smooth humor for kids and parents alike, knockout visuals, and a colorful array of sidekicks, including a scene-stealing baby blue forklift named Guido. Lightning's plight is changed with the help of former big-city lawyer Sally Carrera (Pixar veteran Bonnie Hunt), the town's patriarch Doc Hudson (Paul Newman), and kooky tow truck Mater (Larry the Cable Guy). The Incredibles was the first Pixar film to break the 100-minute barrier, but had enough story not to suffer; Cars, at 116 minutes (including some must-see end credit footage), is not as fortunate, plus it never pierces the heart. Trivia fans should have bonanza with the frame-by-frame DVD function; the movie is stuffed with in-jokes, some appearing only for an instant. Ages 5 and up. --Doug Thomas Average Rating:
 Rating: - Pixar does it again!Cars has been out for a while now and it has accrued some critical baggage with many reviews saying that this is the moment when Pixar jumps the shark. The company's 7th film is the first directed by guiding light and Toy Story creator Lassetter since Toy Story 2 and it is, almost unquestionably, their worst film. However this is Pixar, their worst is better than a lot of people's best. The story is simple. Racecar Lightning McQueen (Owen Wilson) falls from the truck transporting him ...

The detail is amazing, the flies are VW bugs for instance. There is not one human being in the whole movie. Instead of using Headlights to give the cars expression they took the unusual step of using the windscreen. The effect is clever. Paul Newman was an inspired choice for Doc hudson, and the cameo of Michael Schumacher (former F1 driver) is a wonderful surprise. There are many very funny moments. It is watchable many times over and details ... Read More: Rating:  - Brilliant animation, film a bit lackingThe animation in cars is superb. In some places it is hard to distinguish from live action. Unfortunately the film itself is a little long, and lacking in substance. I didn't think it was too bad but the kids gave up after half an hour saying they were bored with it. The other reviews seem split down the middle - love it or hate it. This is more of a middle of the road review (no pun intended,)as I felt it was an ok film that looks spectacular. Rating: - Excelent This DVD is like one of the familyMy 3 year old has worn this DVD out and I am now ordering a new one. He has watched this film to descruction and each time sits through from the start to the end. It also was great for adults to watch with their kids, the bonus feature at the end shows how the film elvolved from the hay day of route 66 to the run down towns today. Even the tow truck (Mator) looks like the recovery driver on the footage. I cannot reccomend this film high enough for content and entertainment. |
