Review of Cars

Cars (2006)
touching film...one of my favorites for 2006
2 July 2006
The movie is made by Pixar, the creators of another one of my favorite films, Finding Nemo. In this new film, they make cars come to life like real human beings. The story revolves around Lightning McQueen, a cocky hotshot race car. Enroute to California to compete for the Piston Cup, he gets lost in Radiator Springs, destroying their main road. The sheriff sentences him to fix the road before he can leave and head on to his race. At first, Lightning, like the arrogant self-important person -- err -- car that he is, looks upon this job with resentment and does a bad job. But as he gets to know Sally, Doc Hudson, Mater, and the other cars, he too falls in love with the town and realizes that life is about enjoying the journey, and not the frantic race to the finish line.

In the end, I was in tears. No, no cars died in this film, to answer my friend's question. The final race scene was just so touching. Something straight out of Chicken Soup for the Soul. So what are you waiting for? Go!
