Car Crash - Cars review by CP Customer

Spoiler Alert
16/04/2007

The only reason I watched this is because of Toy Story, that is such a good movie that I felt that this Pixar offering would be worth a look, don't get me wrong its good to look at, but aren't they all.The main problem with this film is plot, it doesn't seem to have one and if it does it is so drawn out that it totally loses it.Another issue I had was with the cars themselves, why make the windscreen the eyes and not the headlamps its a minor thing but for me it just didn't work.So to sum up although this is a "Family film" it really is a kids film that the adults will have to endure.Best of luck parents.And Pixar, well its back to the drawing board, literally, for you, better luck next time.Oh and parents, if you really want to watch a top class animated film go for Madagascar or Iceage.

Cars - Perfect for budding racing drivers - Cars review by CP Customer

Spoiler Alert
17/11/2006

We saw this at the cinema when it first came out. My boys are aged 7 and 5 and love cars so they really had to go and see this. My older boy loved it - the racing, the different cars, he thought it was wonderful! However, my 5 year old found it a bit boring as it did seem to be a very long film. Needless to say they had to get the game for their Xbox.

It's a decent film to watch, with an underlying theme that the kids don't really notice - but as an adult I preferred Shrek.

Great Family Entertainment - Cars review by CP Customer

Spoiler Alert
07/12/2006

I didn't like Cars at first because it starts at the NASCAR race track and is so deeply submerged in American culture that it got on my nerves. However, I am glad my nieces aged 8 and 4 were with me as I stuck with it and really enjoyed it. The quality of animation is fantastic and the character building is good. There are some underlying moral messages to do with pride, friendship, humility and loyalty which most kids will probably miss but it can't do them any harm to hear them. My nieces loved it and liked the cheekiness of the main character, and I liked it because it taught them that being cheeky can get you into trouble!
