Cars (2006) – Pixar

We saw the movie “Cars” yesterday.

It was a really good family movie, and without a doubt I know I would have seen it if I was an adult or even teen, without children of my own. It was a better movie than I had hoped for too, it really, really flowed well, and made us laugh out load hard in a few places, laugh regular in more places, and even wipe the eyes in saddness, I cried a bit near the end, and two of my children, the two older, 10 and 7, both said they cried several times during the movie. I did read one review online before I saw the movie that was harsh, and it seems that it was even more harsh now that I have seen the movie.

The movie has morals and that is that. The movie has a great view of selfishness and consequences that can come of it. It shows a “person” going down a bad road, and resolving to learn finally, and reform and be a “person of character” ,which is meant to mean a person who cares for others and does things for more than their very own benefit, will think of others ahead of themselves, and treat “people” with kindness, no matter who they are.

The movie is more than that though. A hillarious movie here and there, rightly so, and a joy to ride along on for the whole trip.

That’s my opinion, as a Pixar liker, an adult, an adult that is still a “kid” inside, a liker of stories that mean something, and a Mother to three young children — I don’t let them see “just anything” at all.

This movie is a “buy” once it comes out on DVD. A long wait. 🙁

Lightning McQueen is a cool dude. (Owen Wilson, his voice, was great in his part! He’s a down to earth, funny, sweet guy in any movie, but really “shone” in this one, from selfish to thoughtful.)

There is a funny “short” before the movie. Don’t get there late. See it too!

All the “kid” movies were previewed too, and every one was horrid, and then the Pixar and Disney stuff came on, and wow-ie, blew that other junk away big time. Amen.
