Animation should be about bringing imagination to life. Veteran Lightning McQueen colleagues begin to retire or are fired by their sponsors, replaced by new cars. Of course, he is a car and not a human; or, he is a human in the form of the car. The most famous streak in sports is probably Joe DiMaggio's 56 game hitting streak. It made me feel for its characters and forced me to care about McQueen's journey, both to California and to a different viewpoint on life. Cruz travels to a track where Doc ran and end up competing in a demolition derby, which Cruz wins, Ray humbles himself on national television and gets angry with her for wasting his time and accidentally breaks his trophy, Cruz reveals that he had always wanted to run professionally.
It proceeded to exceed my expectations. I thought the story looked very lame from previews, and the concept didn't appeal to me. They didn't overload the movie with automotive jokes, which I think would have hurt the story and character development. Animals are one thing, but could Pixar successfully master the personification of modes of transportation? In the race in Florida, Ray sees Smokey and Doc's old friends cheering him on. How would they be able to take a story featuring nothing but vehicles, with nary a human in sight, and keep my interest for a full two hours? Storm pushes Cruz, but she dodges him with old Doc techniques and wins the race, thrilling McQueen. This movie is definite Pixar gold. As he serves his sentence with community work, he discovers the town is inhabited by rejects and misfits, who all have hearts of gold.
I can't wait to see it again. The story starts out fast and exciting, like the race it portrayed. Demonstrating that 95 isn't through yet will test the core of a champion on Piston Cup Racing's greatest stage! I'll be honest; I had my doubts about the movie. The puns are too numerous to catch. .
What I appreciate the most is that, at the risk of causing some youngsters to become restless, time and attention has been given to character and story development. On the way to the runoff race in California, he accidentally gets off in a sleepy and forgotten town on Route 66 named Radiator Springs. Lightning McQueen, now a legend who won seven Piston Cups, is eclipsed by Jackson Storm, a rookie and arrogant car belonging to a new generation. The filmmakers have gone so far as to perfect reflections in the cars and to pay careful attention to weeds growing out of cracks in the sidewalk. Yes, they could, and they did. That's the drama that unfolds. But when I saw an early screening I was surprised, it was well written and well executed.
Well, at least Pixar makes it look that way because with Cars they have once again succeeded. I give it a score of 10 out of 10. McQueen takes Cruz and they travel to Thomasville, Doc's hometown, where they find Smokey and several of Doc's old friends. Mate suggests that you look for Smokey, mentor to Doc Hudson. Unknown to Mater, the American spy attached a tracking device on him while being attacked. They have no idea what life in a small town is like. Teach me the same lessons that your characters learn.
The animation is superb, definitely the best they've done. A little bit A Christmas Carol, a little bit The Sting. Give me the scenic route, and give me more finely-tuned, detailed movies like Cars. And this is a must-see-twice-to-get-it-all movie. Sterling accepts the agreement and sends Cruz to train with Lightning. In a race Lightning McQueen loses control and suffers a violent clash on track. Convinced that Ray McQueen can no longer win, Sterling is ready to withdraw it and use it to promote products.
I crossed my arms, furrowed my brow, and dared it to prove my preconceived notions wrong. Smokey reveals that although Doc never ran again, he found new happiness training Ray. I saw this film on May 31st, 2006 in Indianapolis. Every voice is so paired. Having grown up and traveled all over the South West United States including more than one pilgrimage down Route 66 They captured, not only the visuals, but the atmosphere and character America's Main Street Perfectly.
The scenery on screen is awe-inducing to the point that it's getting harder to distinguish the real from the created. The animation is gorgeous, the story brings a smile to your face, and you can't help falling in love with all of the colorful characters. The story is serious and light-hearted at the same time. Using Smokey's advice, Ray guides Cruz. Lightning McQueen calls Cruz Ramirez to return to the track, and that his mechanics equip it to run and gives him his number so he can take his place. Ray McQueen learns new methods to beat Jackson Storm.
Shortly into the movie you forget that the people are cars or the cars are people, you suspend disbelief, and you just begin to watch an engaging story about real people. Frankly, if you put real actors in many of the scenes, you wouldn't realize it was computer generated you know, if the landscape wasn't made up of old car parts. From the very first moments of the film, my mouth was hanging open. Overall, it's on par with other Pixar films, even if it may not be their best so far. It's funny how the gravel in Newman's voice fits perfectly with the rumble of his engine, likewise Wilson's distinct voice sounds just like the high-tuned growl of a race car.
