CARS on DVD

[Strangler Lewis]

I sense I'm in the minority here, but I didn't think it was much good at all. Some great animation with the grandstands at the track and mostly good voices, especially Paul Newman. However, the story was tortured, stretched and confused. Between the NASCAR worship and the fact that the deux ex machina was an oil company, I didn't think I was watching a kid's movie but some bizarre Leni Riefenstahl mountaineering propaganda piece in the culture war. I left feeling vaguely slimed.
