Cars
It seems that Pixar and John Lasseter can do no wrong if their track record is anything to go by.
After dazzling us with Toy Story, Monsters, Inc., Finding Nemo, and The Incredibles it seemed that everything they could do was done but no, here they go again with another brilliant release.
The story of Cars follows the usual theme of friendship, loneliness, losing track of the important things in the quest for fame and money, the importance of team work, trust, abandonment.
Honestly, this is the only gripe I find with Pixar, in that they seem stuck in an emotional loop where nothing new is ever felt. Consequently, they need higher praise because despite this they manage to churn out remarkably creative material.
Cars is about a famous race car Lightning McQueen (Owen Wilson) that ends up in a small town by mistake and is sentenced to community service by the local judge Doc Hudson (Paul Newman).
In this small town the big time dreamer finds friendship and love while gaining a new perspective on life.
The animation is top-notch and the cars are given a real human expression that makes you think of them as characters instead of machines.
No such animation can be worthy of praise without also tipping your hat to the voice actors who give life to characters and the entire cast here is outstanding.
John Ratzenberger makes a return in yet another Pixar movie and the credits include a nice joke that made me laugh out loud.
Regardless of whether you are a Pixar fan or not this is one animation flick that you simply have to include in your DVD collection.
