Car crazy - Cars Reviews

Cars is the next film from Pixar and its quite a creative effort. It's creativity though was not put into the story. Lightning McQueen is the new car on the scene making headlines everywhere. He is the new fast car and is on his way to the Piston Cup race, the most elite of races. On the way, he manages to get off his trailer and is lost in the middle of nowhere. He meets other cars who have sat in this town that was once a happening place. He's all about being flashy and is quite full of himself, but the other cars in town are quite laid back and seem to live from day to day hoping they will be discovered. Lightning (voice of Owen Wilson) learns to live like them and soon becomes humbled by them. The story it quite bland. The humor is cute, whenever you can find it. The message behind the story is quite good and in the end is great for kids and families. There is much to be enjoyed by the imagery and visuals, but the story almost takes away from the creative beauty. Kids will enjoy. Parents may find this almost 2 hour long movie to be a bit much. B-
