Cars

Initial thoughts:

Not jaw dropping kind of movie, but this time Pixar decided to go for a sweet movie with a clear message. Has lots of funny moments and succeeds in invoking emotions too at times. Many of the jokes are subtle and a keen eye for all animation is recommended. Falls short on the action side but that is an unfair comment as people no doubt would like to compare it to the incredible "The Incredibles".

I just felt that the background score could have been better. It is good at times and average at other. Sound by itself does not stir you at any time. It did in incredibles. Sorry for the comparison again but even the start of the movie where it picks up as soon as Helen says "I don't think so... I don't think so" asked you to sit back and relax as something very very special is gonna follow.

I will say Cars is definitely worth watching once in a movie hall. But then, given the kind of details and efforts Pixar puts in their movies, it should be illegal not to do that.


PS: Be prepared to hear kids around you at 90 minute mark. The movie does not have continuous visual jokes to keep them occupied for 2 hrs. That sounds like an impossible task anyway unless you play 2 hrs of Tom and Jerry or whatever is popular amongst kids today.
