CARS? Anyone seen it? How is it?

[bubba73]

I haven't yet but we are planning on seeing it while on our vacation. We are heading to WDW this Saturday.

My 3 year old son has seen it twice! He loves it and was able to stay for the whole movie, which is something he is seldom able to do. I loved it too! I found myself laughing out loud several times!

Our family went and we all enjoyed it.

My DH 43 has been quoting some of the lines around the house. He was also impressed with all the well-known people who had roles in it.
My DS 9 loved it! But wished there were more slap stick, funny parts!
My DD 3 loved it! She already knew the characters from the trailers and keep asking to see it. She just got just a bit restless in the middle with the slower music.

Myself -- enjoyed it. The graphics alone were great and then the jokes were fun!

I just wish Disney would wise up and realize that the better films Monsters, Inc., Toy Story, etc., do not have sound tracks with long slow songs. Why can't they make a few more movies for pure laughs and action!

We saw it this weekend! DH and I loved it and thought it was very well done. My DD, 3 almost 4, liked the beginning, fell asleep in the middle, and loved the ending. I do think the plot and dialogue were a bit over her head, especially towards the middle of the movie. She does talk about the movie though and who her favorite character is, etc. Older kids around us in the theater seemed to be getting the jokes and stuff a bit more. I would say go see it if you are interested in it too!

Um, Toy Story 2 has a long musical break in the middle and I find it far superior to TS1.

We saw it this afternoon. My DS enjoyed the beginning but got so bored in the middle he just wanted to leave and not stay for the rest. Ironically, as soon as we got home he put on Toy Story 2 and sat through all of that, lol. But to tell you the truth, I didn't really enjoy the movie that much, although maybe I would have more if we'd seen in through to the end. But while there was great action scenes early in the movie, there just weren't the characters to pull you in right away like the better Pixar movies.

We loved it! Out of our group of 6 only one was the "target age" (my 3 y/o ds). Yet we adults LOL, and all want to see it at the drive-in this weekend.

As far as my 3 year old ds... no full feature movie has captured his imagination like Cars.

I give it...

I loved it, not as much as The Incredibles, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. And by all means, stay for the closing credits until the very end. They're worth the price of admission alone. I will say that the story in this film will not make sense to little kids, but they'll like the cars. The story is more aimed at adults and they'll appreciate the message of the film.

I took DH, DS19 and DD13 this afternoon to see "Cars". I was very pleasantly surprised--i didn't think this movie would be very good, but it was great! The animation is near photographic. And Mater, the tow truck...let's just say, that's my baby brother in rust. When he started the tractor tipping I thought I would wet my pants

 

[Mickey Fanatic]

My WHOLE family went last Sunday. (by whole I mean parents, 2 sis, 2 BIL, a four year old and 2 two year olds) We all really enjoyed it. The youngest two lost interest a bit in the middle but then loved the end. My Dad is now collecting the toys from McDonalds and can't wait for the DVD.

 

[hockeymomoftwo]

Cars is definately a must see. both boys ages 4/7 loved it and we have had to start collecting the mcdonalds cars. Got to love marketing don't ya. Will be on our ownership list.

 

[loveswdw]

We (5 adults and my DS 2.5) LOVED IT!

 

[tatooed goofy]

Took my nephew 3 almost 4. He sat through the whole thing except the last 15 minutes and he sat on my lap. He loved it. We all kept saying Ka chow the whole way home. We all really enjoyed it. It was great!

 

[momto2girls]

We saw it today and LOVED it! I'm sure that we'll buy it as soon as it comes out on DVD. My 3 year old and 6 year old sat through the whole thing.

The story line was partially remniscent of the Michael J. Fox movie, "Doc Hollywood".

My only gripe about the movie was some of the language. I don't know why it is necessary to say "idiot", "moron", and "dumb" throughout a Rated G movie. And the word "hell" was even said twice.

 

[PolyAddict]

Took my DD5 to see it, at her request. Starts out with a bang, but then gets really slow for a LONG time, then ends with a bang. She lost interest around the hour and 15 minute mark. It was quite long. I thought it was ok to good, closer to good, but definently not one of my favorites.

 

[minniemissy]

I have a 7 yr old and 4 yr old and we saw it opening day! they are still quoteing it we LOVED it!! :

 

[amy4bruce]

We saw it yesterday afternoon. My DW thought it was better than The Incredibles (but she admitted that she doesn't really like violence). She prefers the Toy Story movies and Monster's Inc.

I thougt it was excellent, although I preferred The Incredibles (see, I do enjoy violence, especially when done by superheroes, but that's me). The attention to details is astounding. About half way through, I agreed with the critics who complained that there's nothing intrinsically warm or fuzzy about cars, but I noticed that I was hooked by the final race, actually rooting for Lightning.

DD6 says she loved it. However, like so many other posters said, her interest flagged in the middle. I don't think it's a movie for really young kids, who might find it a bit plot heavy.

But, man, is it beautiful.

DH and I went on Sunday. We both absolutely loved Cars!! I even put the Lightning McQueen red car on my computer's wallpaper. I thought it was the cutest movie.

Great job Pixar.
