Lightning McQueen may be just a rookie, but he's convinced that he can realize his dream of zooming by the checkered flag if he can only make it to California in time to compete in the upcoming Piston Cup Championship. When Lightning takes a detour into the slow-moving, Route 66 town of Radiator Springs, however, it begins to appear as if his shot at the big time has effectively stalled out. Of course, Lightning's exciting cross-country trek wasn't all for naught, and after befriending such quirky Radiator Springs residents as Sally the Porsche, Doc Hudson, and Mater the Tow Truck, the eager young racer learns that sometimes life is more about the voyage than the outcome of the race.
What a great film! Disney Pixar created another classic animated feature with this one. The animation is amazing - technology keeps getting better and better. The plot is entertaining and educational at the same time. The dialog is very funny and contains many references that only adults would understand, but kids wouldn't think they missed anything since there's so much to look at. Car lovers and Nascar fans would love this film on a whole different level and would be able to identify with Mater the Tow Truck, who's absolutely hilarious. In other words, this movie has something for everyone - it's the whole ball of wax and a definite must see.

This one's a straight up 5 !!!
I loved it, and more important, Andrew loved it. It is frequently chosen to watch before bedtime.
This movie is good spirited, fun, and (most important) non-violent. And the tractor-tipping is absolutely hilarious!
Tow-mater is the best and should have been nominated for a best supporting actor award at last year's Academy Awards.
Again, this would be my first 5 of 5 rating. Completely deserved. Goodluck to Disney and Pixar when they try to top this one.
