After taking moviegoers magically into the realm of toys, bugs, monsters, fish and superheros, the wizards at Pixar hit the road with an animation set inside the world of cars.
Lighting McQueen (Owen Wilson), a rookie race car driver finds himself stranded at an eccentric town of Radiator Springs on Route 66 while traveling to take part in the Piston Cup Championship. Through the characters Sally the Porsche (Bonnie Hunt), Mater the tow truck (Larry the Cable Guy), Doc Hudson (Paul Newman), he learns that there is more to life.
Though the plot may seem familiar (viewers of Michael J Fox's Doc Hollywood will know) and predictable, there really isn't a better time to show this. Face the fact – there is a McQueen in every one in one. We crave for things that may not bring us happiness and we never stopped to look around what's around us. Hopefully, everybody who watches it brings home a lesson – how to be more humble and less self-indulgent.
My favorite characters have to be Mater whose simplicity and honesty grows in you, and the Italian-accented Luigi. You will enjoy this ride.
Be sure to be there early to catch "One Man Band" before the movie. And do not leave before the end of the credits, as there are 'carmeos' you will not want to miss.
Cars - A personable story that scores a win.
