I liked it. I admit I've always had a soft spot for Michael J. Fox.

Mmm, Steve McQueen...

I've thought of changing it back but the munchkin was opposed so I'm stuck with what I got

People used to always ask me if Steve was my dad, after a while I'd just say "yes, but he's dead" they usually didn't know what to say after that.

We found it enjoyabloe...for the most part. My four year daughter was bored throughout. My 6 year old son loved every moment of it because he is really into cars. My 12 year old daughter....she thought it beneath her to even be in the theatre viewing it.

I was a bit bored during the middle of the film.

The animation was simply stunning throughout. So much of the scenery seemed to be real images rather than animated.

To rank....hmmm.....

The Incredibles
Toy Story I
Toy Story II
Nemo
Monsters Inc
Cars
Bugs Life

There isn't a big gap between the top six anywhere, but the is a huge drop off to Bugs Life.

I disagree about the sentiment of Toy Story II. I found the emotional relevance to be at least equal to Toy Story I.

I find myself even today being annoyed that they copied Doc Hollywood so completely. I really enjoyed the movie, but couldn't they have thought of something at least a bit new? It was Doc Hollywood with cars. It was better than Doc, but still, the movie has been done!

Never saw Doc Hollywood.

I have (and detailed the similarity in my review) but it didn't bother me at all.

For me the middle of the movie was much better than the beginning and the end.

I wish I hadn't. Cars really is quite good, I think, I really really liked it. But the fact that it was just like it was distracting for me.

I need a lighting McQueen bumper sticker. It's my maiden name and I tend to drive - ummm - not slow. But my lovely daughter said "Mom, shouldn't yours say crash McQueen?"

The show's a lot of fun. Their office is in Harvard Square. It's in a building right in the square and their names are on a door on the 2nd floor, I believe. I'm not sure if they broadcast from there, but I seem to remember them mentioning Harvard Square once or twice.
