The Horror of the Minds of Little Kids

Why is it that when baby sitting a little kid, they never remember you saying "Don't run in the house," but when you go to see "Cars" every little kid in the theater remembers EVERY line from the trailer?

I'll tell you why! Because they love annoying people! I swear, every time a scene came up, that was in the trailer, every kid under the age of seven had to talk along with the movie!

It was SO annoying! Luckily its fairly easy to ignore this when the movie is good.

Pixar has once again made a wonderful film, this time about the a cocky race car on his way to California.

Lightning McQueen (voiced by Owen Wilson) is determined to be the first Rookie winner of The Piston Cup, the most prestigous award any race car could win. However, on his way to the big race, McQueen gets sidetracked in a little town called Radiator Springs.

During his brief stay he accidentally ruins the town's road, so as a punishment he must repave it. During his stay he meets various interesting characters like a rusty tow truck named Mater (voiced by Larry the Cable Guy), a beautiful Porsha (voiced by Bonnie Hunt) and a grumpy old doctor (Paul Newman).

The film's animation is amazing. Possibly the best work done by Pixar Animation studios to date! And the films humor and wit nearly matches. Though this isn't the best Pixar film, it definitely isn't the worst. It tops The Incredibles and possibly Monsters Inc. (although how can you resist two of Disney's most recognizable characters Mike and Sulley?)

So far I'd rank the Pixar movies this way:

1. Toy Story
2. Finding Nemo
3. A Bug's Life
4. Toy Story 2
5. Monster's Inc. / Cars
6. The Incredibles

However, even though the Incredibles is ranked the lowest, I loved it! You see, Pixar has this wonderful habit of making movies that are actually good! They haven't made a bad film yet!

I can't wait to see it, perhaps in the evening with less screaming, little ones. LOL!

Speaking of cars: Good luck on Monday. : )

Hope You all had fun. When 5 of my family memebers saw it they said that it was a really good movie so I would rank that a top hit #1 of all movies that I had seen!
