Cars

I found it to be a totally sweet movie. Charming and enjoyable. The end credits, though, were a rollicking reminder that this film was far shorter on laugh-out-loud comedy than just about any of the Pixar predecessors. The audience laughed more in that 2 minutes than they had in the entire rest of the film.

Maybe that's one of the reasons why, despite the title, I thought this film was lacking in Vvvvrooooom. It was very laid back, story absolutely trite, characters by the well-worn book ... and beautiful to look at, enjoyable to experience, heartfelt and sweet as can be.

Not one of the big Pixar greats in my book, but I liked it.


Oh, Nirvanaman, what were some of the car-buff insider jokes that us dweebs may have missed? I caught a couple of the race-driver cameos, but what else was there??


Also, I think Disney is - as usual - missing the synergy boat by pushing all that craptical pirate junk in the stores ... when it's frelling obvious that toys of these adorable cars would be all the rage.
