Cars (2006)

great movie

The only think I would have liked to see on the Blu ray was the Ghost Light movie that is on the non HD disc. June 27, 2008

If Pixar had anything to do with, you already know its good!

Call me biased, but I can't help it. Any move that Pixar is behind is a good movie. It may be the same basic stuff, but every movie is unique in its own special way. Keep up the good work! June 25, 2008

"Doc Hollywood" for Cars

It's funny. I am late coming to this movie because I was afraid it would be too intense for my child, who just turned 3. I have yet to let him watch Nemo. Also, I am doing everything I can to discourage NASCAR viewer ship in my household. (Being a Southerner, you choose between two classes - Thoroughbreds or stock cars.)

At last, I gave in. My son loves the cars and although he had not asked for the movie, my partner and I needed a break from Thomas, so I bought the widescreen version of this movie.

The first thing I realized was that this is the same story as Doc Hollywood. Now, I happen to be a sap and I loved Doc Hollywood, but I was afraid it might be a too-familiar theme to keep my interest. Suffice it to say, I did not pause the movie one time from start to end.

Some say it does not have enough drama, but I am so glad no one has to die in this one, especially the Mom - and in a very loud and violent way - such as with Nemo. (I am still wondering whether Walt Disney ever got therapy for his Mother issues. Between the Mothers dying and the rest of the older women being witches - well...)

The characters are amazingly well-developed, remarkably loveable and incredibly designed. The casting was perfect and the tons of little jokes and spoofs will keep us watching this for a long time - if for nothing else than to watch for the jokes we missed.

We may have enjoyed it more than he did, but I know he will watch it many times in the months to come.

Oh - and for those who didn't have at least one little tear - cut back on your Prozac.

Great Blu-Ray title!

What a fun movie that everyone can enjoy! Our two year old toddler son gets up in the morning and asks for "Wawadee!" (his pronunciation of Lightening McQueen - how cute is that!!!)

Very entertaining story, characters, and the animation is just incredible! Plus the Blu-Ray format really shines for this title; because the whole movie is computer generated, you can REALLY see all the details at 1080p!

Highly recommended!!
