Cars product reviews

We got Cars out one evening, because a few of our friends had been raving about it. I wasn't too sure about it. I mean, talking animals is okay by me. But inanimate objects like cars, trucks etc just don't capture my imagination.

Still, I went along with watching this film. The storyline is pretty age-old. Hotshot "city" boy, Lightning McQueen, finds himself stuck in a small town where everyone knows everyone. Its a story of finding oneself as much as proving to others you are more than you appear.

I found the movie quite predictable, but it is a kid's film. I'm not a great fan of car races, but I imagine the racing scenes would have been considered quite good for the animation of the time. I think if your kid is into cars, trucks, and racing then you'll find this a hit in your house.

My daughter has since seen the film and she knows the characters quite well. I guess it just wasn't for me.

What a fantastic family movie!!

My two year old was glued from the start to the finish and over and over again.
He has become a HUGE Cars fan so much so that when he sees a car in the real world similar to the character in the movie he is beside himself :)

The bright colours of the movie make it captivating to the little ones and as he has grown with the movie he has learnt to talk along with his favourites and role play with us.

I would highly recommend this movie to all families with little ones!!

This is a brilliant movie for the entire family, a great children's movie but good storyline that can keep even an adults attention.

My son loves everything and anything to do with Lightening McQueen after watching this movie, with its bright colours and fun characters it's an ideal kids movie. The movie is similar to Pixar's 'Finding Nemo', it has a strong sense of teamwork as Lightening McQueen learns that with help from his friends as his 'pit crew' he is an even better racer than before.

I can sit and watch this movie with my son over and over without getting irritated with it which is more than I can say for most movies suitable for 4 year olds.

Love it !

A great family movie that my whole family enjoyed. We are a family with children aged from 4 to 18 (lol) and yep it held the attention of all of them.
Of course it is not really believable because we all know cars can not talk but in a world of entertainment, fantasy and kids movies it has its believability factors.
The courage and friendships that build through out the movie show children anything is possible, especially when you have made a mistake with how you treat others earlier. Its great in the aspect that like many children's movies it teaches children lessons without them even knowing.

Lighting McQueen and his new found friends from Radiator Springs teach us that taking the fast lane in life isn't always a good thing, especially when it only saves you a few minutes. He meets the towns folk who want to help him out but with his bad attitude he turns them down.

Lightning McQueen learns a few lessons in his stay in Radiator Springs and one of the most important is that friendship means more than anything else. Mater (who seems a little slow) has to be my favourite character with his tractor tipping and carefree way of living.

The children love the bright colours and Lightning McQueen is well known among the children's community but it is not just a childrens movie.

Yet another masterpiece from the makers of Finding Nemo and The Incredibles, Pixar have once again proven themselves the masters of animated movies. Never before have I seen cartoon cars move so smoothly or look so... human, in an automotive way.

With a wonderful array of characters, including the simple yet endearing Mater, the tow truck, and the highly entertaining Italian tyre salesfolk Luigi and Guido, and the ever-colourful Ramon and his paintshop, this is a laugh-a-minute movie suitable for all ages. Lessons to learn, moments to share, and some really stunning vocal 'acting' make this a really great way to spend a rainy afternoon with the kids.

Overall, though it has some moments that seem a little 'flat' compared to the rest of the movie, the greater majority of it is well worth viewing, especially all the little extras, such as the clips that show up during the credits, and the two extra mini-movies; "Mater and the Ghostlight" and "One Man Band". If nothing else, they make the DVD worth every cent.
