Cars
Lightning McQueen, a hotshot rookie race car driven to succeed, discovers that life is about the journey, not the finish line, when he finds himself unexpectedly detoured in the sleepy Route 66 town of Radiator Springs.
From Toy Story, to Monsters Inc., to Finding Nemo and more recently The Incredibles, Pixar has distinguished itself as an animation studio that is committed to releasing top quality movies that while appealing to children, are something adults can sit through as well. Cars is an excellent addition to the Pixar library and gives me hope as we begin Pixar's "Disney-Owned" era.
It is apparent from the opening scene of this movie that you are going to enjoy a great family film. The excitement of the races that Lightning McQueen (voiced by Owen Wilson) participates in will keep you on the edge of your seat yet give you plenty of comic relief. Don't think, however, that this movie is all about racing. Lightning, while traveling to the big race, is stranded in the small town of Radiator Springs. There he learns that you are responsible for your actions no matter who you think you are as well as how important friends can be. Larry the Cable Guy is excellent as tow truck, Tow Mater and provides constant laughs throughout the movie.
The G-rating of cars is well deserved as there is really nothing here that is inappropriate for children.
One of Pixars better movies, and the best movie I've seen so far this summer, Cars is one of the rare types of movies that parents won't be falling asleep in yet can feel comfortable that the movie will still be completely appropriate for their kids. Cars is a great movie for families to enjoy together this summer.
