My Review:

Loved, it, loved it, loved it!!! Saw it opening weekend and my husband and I were just about the only adults in the theatre without kids – but we enjoyed it every bit as much as the rest of the audience. Cars is magical! It’s wonderfully written, so clever, with richly textured characters and layers of story. Pixar is head and shoulders above any other animation company because it pays attention to the little details. The characters have personality, and quirks. The scenery is just beautiful, real artwork! The storylines make sense, and are intelligent. And there are so many cute little asides and sweet moments. This is a MUST see! The other thing Pixar does so well is that it makes the whole movie an experience. They have a darling short before the movie. This one is called “One Man Band” – no dialogue, everything is on the screen – and it is awesome. And even the credits are worth staying for! There’s a cute added on scene where the cars are at a drive in movie and they’re watching other Pixar movies – “A Bug’s Life” with VW bugs as the characters – “Monster Truck” with those characters as trucks – and “A Toy Car Story” – absolutely precious! You can just see all the thought that went into every moment. I applaud the creative minds at Pixar, and thank them for a fun evening’s entertainment! Big name stars like Owen Wilson, Bonnie Hunt, Paul Newman and so many others voiced the characters. This is a first class production that everyone in the family will want to see again and again.
