Cars

OK, it's official. Pixar can do no wrong.
They've done it with toys, bugs, monsters, fish, superheros and now cars. The latest Pixar film is a worthy follow up to the brilliant Finding Nemo and the excellent The Incredibles. The way they gave personality and character to cars was just exceptional and I can't believe the reviews have been lukewarm.
The movie focuses on the rookie race car on the block, Lightning McQueen (Owen Wilson) who gets displaced on the way to the championship race in LA in a small town on Route 66 called Radiator Springs. He's a selfish `one car show' and he learns something about humility and caring for others while he is forced to repair a road he damaged on arrival.
It's very funny and for the close observer there's a lot of fun things to be seen in the background. If there's anything wrong it's that it was a shade long at two hours. You must sit through the credits - there's a hilarious segment sending up the previous Pixar movies midway through.
Also a taste of things to come with a preview of the next film, Ratatouille.
Well, Margaret, I'm giving this 8.5 out of 10.....
