MOVIEGUIDE REVIEW: CARS
Quality: * * * *
Acceptability: +3
CARS, Pixar and Disney's new computer-animated movie, is a feast for the eyes and the heart. Hotshot rookie racecar, Lightning McQueen, has his sights on winning the Piston Cup in a three-way race between two rivals. A series of coincidences strands Lightning in an isolated, rundown, small desert town called Radiator Springs, off Route 66. There, while rebuilding the main road he wrecked, Lightning encounters the quirky cars running the town and its various businesses. They teach Lightning the importance of integrity, caring for others and friendship. They also teach him that, sometimes, you have to lose yourself and slow down in order to find yourself and re-discover the values you lost.

As is the case with everything Pixar does, the computer animation in CARS is first-rate and gorgeous to watch. Fast-paced comedy isn't a primary goal here, but CARS more than makes up for it, in depth of feeling, creativity, intelligence, and excitement. The movie captures the old-fashioned values that made America and the American family great. Those values are worth preserving and celebrating, as well as emulating. CARS is the best movie so far of 2006. It will touch your heart and soul.
