Pixar
Today we took the kids to go see Cars. My biggest concern was that this was going to be the Pixar movie where they finally misstep and actually make a subpar movie. Without going into too much detail, there isn't anything to worry about. Now, while the story was pretty predicatable (there is one twist that I didn't quite expect, but nowhere on the scale of say, the twist in Monsters, Inc.). There isn't nearly the amount of NASCAR as I expected, either.
The animation was crisp and detailed, much like the characters themselves. The message is your typical fare of 'family/friends is more important than fame/fortune', but that's not a bad message to repeat. There's also a secondary message encouraging a return to the family vacation of crossing the country on the pre-interstate highway system. If you stay for the credits - and if you don't stay for the credits of a Pixar movie, you're dead to me - you'll see a significant list of source material from the real Route 66.
Is it the best movie ever, or even the best Pixar movie? Not in my opinion - The Incredibles still holds that position. However, it certainly isn't the worst, either. Definitely worth seeing on the big screen.
So, in celebration of the new movie, this special Sunday edition of the blog is kicking off Pixar week. Each day, I'm going to look at a different Pixar movie and jot down a few ideas that pop into my head for each title.
Link of the moment: Do you ever wonder how some cartoons could ever be considered children's entertainment? Maybe what you've seen was censored before being released - it could have been worse!
