Sunday, June 18, 2006
Lightning McQueen is a hotshot rookie race car who wants to win every race, escpecially the Piston Cup. He thinks he's big time but soon discovers what life really is about. As an over-tired dig rig carries McQueen to hithe Piston Cup in California, he's accidentally unloaded in the middle of nowhere. McQueen speeds into the sleepy Raditor Springs, tearing up the road as he goes. The town on Route 66 is full of characters who have been there since the good old days. That is, the days before a highway was built straight through the desert. Since the highway was built, the town is dead. Businesses have closed and no one comes through anymore. As McQueen fixes the road he ruined, he realizes that what makes Radiator Springs is the people.Cars has a great cast. Owen Wilson is the voice of McQueen. Legendary actor Paul Newman voices Hudson Hornet, someone who has a lot in common with McQueen. Bonnie Hunt plays McQueen's love interest, while Larry the Cable Guy brings Mater, McQueen's best friend, to life.

This movie races past the competition with a perfect combination of humor and heart for all ages.
