Genre: CHILDREN'S VIDEOAmazon.com: 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

Customer Reviews:

Pixar Brilliance once again!: Wonderful story line, great adaptation from human reality to "Cars" reality. I've watched this with my son over and over again and still find little tid-bits I missed prior. He loves it and knows all the characters by name now. Highly recommended for kids under 21 (and OVER)
very cool!: I loved it because of the '59 impala.I don't really like racing, but
this film makes racing pretty awesome! and I can get into it really
easly cause I'm a car person, even though I'm a girl. My dad also
LOVES that movie! ----
loved by kids of all ages: I have been forced to watch this movie at least 20 times and I still enjoy everything about it. The Computer animation is top notch, the soundtrack is great, and all the top of the line actors do a terrific job, with many memorable lines. My 2 and 4 year old boys love it over and over again. What's not to like.
BluRay-Cars: This is a must have for any BluRay Player owner!!!!!!!!!!!

Simply OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!!!!!
Amazing: Out of the 30 or so HD movies I have seen this looks by far the best. The backgrounds and details are so fine and really jump out in HD. I am hoping that other Pixar movies like Finding Nemo look as good. I am watching in full 1080p on a computer with a 24" widescrean LCD and 5.1 surround. I am very picky about image quality and see few real actor movies getting very good images in HD. About the only thing that comes close is nature and travel pictures in IMAX shows, but those are not as entertaining at Cars... Yes I am 38 and still watch cartoons. :p
