Cars Review

Overall Rating

Very entertaining
Suitable for all the family

Missed some of the "adult jokes" seen in other childrens films

The animation in this film is incredible!

It's the story of a rookie car who is in the running to win the annual racing competition called "The Piston Cup". On the way to the tie-break race he gets lost, ends up in a small town and because he "chewed-up" the road he has to repair it before he can leave.

As time clicks on he starts to befriend the townsfolk - making best friends with Mater the tow truck and then falls in love with the female lawyer - a sky blue Porche 911.

He eventually goes to the race and has all his new friends cheering on.

The attention to detail in the animation is amazing - instead of vapour trails in the sky, there are tire tread trails !!! Instead of just normal flies there are mini VW beetles with wings.

So the story is engaging, the animation in fabulous, BUT the jokes I've seen in other films which go above the heads of the main audience and capture the parents, seem to be missing, but it's a minor point. My three-year-old will watch this again and again - I've seen it more times than I can remember and still amazed at some of it. We will probably watch it again this weekend. :-)

Well worth buying.
