Cars

Google-kuvahaun tulos kohteessa http://www.numberonestars.com/movies/images2/cars.jpg



Pixar now are like Disney were back in the middle of last century - they're just churning out the classics left right and centre. I went to see Cars last night, and everything was just so. Ok, maybe not the songs, but then I guess they're aimed at kids... thought I never remember liking them as a child, they felt like pandering.



Anyhoo. Everything else - perfect. The story is good, the characters are well drawn (pun intended), the voice acting is fantastic, the humour is laugh-out-loud funny. There's also an insane attention to detail that's mostly absent nowadays - one of the characters is a Porsche for instance, but she's not just a Porsche, she's a 2002 model 911 (the headlights tell all). There are little flourishes everywhere that show just how much passion everyone involved had for the project. These people really believe in what they do, and it shows. I can only hope it stays that way under Disney, and they don't try to milk all their work to date dry in a series of increasingly unoriginal franchises.



Best movie I've seen all year, go see.
