I watched this movie very often when i was young. Very good humor (especially from Mater), characters voice actors and graphics. The story is ok but it dosen't matter, i still love this movie.
Cars may not rank among Pixar's deepest stories, but it's classic characters and visuals, make for a generally entertaining film that will likely be more for an audience of younger viewers, but there is a certain charm to it.
Of all the films made about racing, or NASCAR in general, this is one of the best, if not the best. Even though it is animated, the story is incredibly moving and well paced. The actors who voice the cars, Paul Newman, Owen Wilson, Bonnie Hunt and Larry the Cable Guy do a spectacular job.The studio that created this film, PIXAR, has come long way. No one thought that films about Cars and Toys wold be this great, but they really are. In the eleven years since this films release, it is now a trilogy and one of the best franchises Disney has to offer.Paul Newman, having starred in this film, is a great parallel to his real life self being a racecar driver. And the film is a great parody/homage to Doc Hollywood, as it has been compared. Two major stars of this film have passed since its release, Paul Newman and George Carlin. However, they wrote Newman's character of Doc Hudson out of the sequels, but not Carlin's character of Fillmore. It is the start of a great trilogy!!
A hot-shot race-car named Lightning McQueen gets waylaid in Radiator Springs, where he finds the true meaning of friendship and family. Cars is a very fantastic, sweet and entertaining family friendly animation that will win both kids and their parents for it's characters alone characters such as Lightning McQueen, Mater, Sally Carrera and late actor Paul Newman as Doc Hudson who is easily the best part of the movie since not only he brings McQueen back in action but he makes him see what really matters which is friendship and love. The big bad guy is played by Batman himself Michael Keaton voices Chick Hicks. Cars is not in the same league as Toy Story sure but it's a very sweet film that truly shows why friendship truly matters more than some stupid awards 10/10.
