Cars

MPAA Rating:G
Distributor: Disney/Pixar
Director: John Lasseter
Starring:Voices of Owen Wilson as Lightning McQueen, Bonnie Hunt as Sally, Paul Newman as Doc Hudson, Larry the Cable Guy as Mater and John Ratzenberger as Mack.

In a world of cars and trucks, racing rookie Lightning McQueen has taken the Piston Cup by storm. Amid the thunder of roaring exhausts, the shiny No. 95 looks set to steal the championship. But on the way to an important race, Lightning's transport truck, Mack, falls asleep. Lightning is accidentally ejected from his trailer and abandoned in the middle of nowhere.

In the small town of Radiator Springs, Lightning meets Doc, Sally, Mater and an entire cast of country cars. As he races with time to get to the big race-off, Lightning discovers that he has no real friends because he always puts himself first. As events unfold, Lightning must make a choice between making friends or making it big.

Cars is packed with plenty of positive messages. Lightning learns to slow down and appreciate life. He also learns to think of others ahead of himself. Themes of friendship, kindness and sacrifice are also emphasized. Unfortunately, Cars contains a few misuses of the Lord's name. Some characters are rude to each other, and there are some intense car crashes that might frighten younger children. Still, kids and parents alike will enjoy watching this fast-paced tale of friendship.
