There's an extra coat of hot wax on Pixar's vibrant, NASCAR-influenced comedy about a world populated entirely by cars. Lightning McQueen (voiced by Owen Wilson) is the slick rookie taking the Piston Cup series by storm when the last race of the season (the film's high-octane opening) ends in a three-way tie. On the way to the tie-breaker race in California, Lightning loses his way off Route 66 in the Southwest desert and is taught to stop and smell the roses by the forgotten citizens of Radiator Springs. It's odd to have such a slim story from the whizzes of Pixar, and the film pales a bit from their other films (though can that be a fair comparison?). Nonetheless, Cars is another gleaming ride with Pixar founder John Lasseter, who's directing for the first time since Toy Story 2. There's the usual spectrum of excellent characters teamed with appropriate voice talent, loads of smooth humor for kids and parents alike, knockout visuals, and a colorful array of sidekicks, including a scene-stealing baby blue forklift named Guido. Lightning's plight is changed with the help of former big-city lawyer Sally Carrera (Pixar veteran Bonnie Hunt), the town's patriarch Doc Hudson (Paul Newman), and kooky tow truck Mater (Larry the Cable Guy). The Incredibles was the first Pixar film to break the 100-minute barrier, but had enough story not to suffer; Cars, at 116 minutes (including some must-see end credit footage), is not as fortunate, plus it never pierces the heart. Trivia fans should have bonanza with the frame-by-frame DVD function; the movie is stuffed with in-jokes, some appearing only for an instant. Ages 5 and up. --Doug Thomas

 Birthday Gift December 2, 2008
This was a gift for my friend's little boy. He loved it! He would not put the DVD Cover down. He really enjoyed it when he seen the movie.
 Excellent product December 2, 2008
I was really pleased with the service I received when I ordered this DVD. It came in a very timely manner and was in excellent shape! I would definitely recommend this seller to anyone.
 Not Up to par December 1, 2008
As is usual with a Pixar film, Cars has excellent visuals, and they really shine in the Blu-Ray version of the film. The movie is sure to be a hit with the kids, but falls short in one area that other Pixar films have excelled -- appeal to adults. I viewed this one once, and will probably leave it on the shelf for the sake of completeness, but I can't see watching it again, like I have with Monsters, Inc., or the exceptional WALL-E. If you're looking for something to entertain the kids, save some money and get it on DVD instead of Blu-Ray. If you're looking to build a complete collection of Pixar on Blu-Ray, it's worth the money.
Isn't this the same plot as "Doc Hollywood"? November 26, 2008
Doc Hollywood
Don't get me wrong - I loved the movie! Animation was great, characters were lovable, etc. I just couldn't help thinking that it was a re-vamped version of "Doc Hollywood". In "Doc Hollywood", the big-shot doctor(Michael J. Fox) on his way to Beverly Hills to be a plastic surgeon and has a car accident which destroys a fence in a tiny little town in the middle of nowhere. He's stuck in this town while his Porche is being fixed, and to make up for the damage to the fence, he must help out the town's only physician (an aging guy about to retire) as community service. In short, he ends up falling in love with the town, the townspeople, and a certain lady. He ends up going to Beverly Hills to do the plastic surgeon thing, but ultimately misses the town and the girl so much, that he returns to be the town's physician. Sound familiar? Yeah, that's what I thought too.
 Spanish????? November 24, 2008
It's unbelievable. The package says that it is in Spanish, but it is completely in English. It does't have even Spanish subtitles.
