Brief synopsis of Cars - BLU-RAY Version

Talking cars rediscover the quirky originality of middle America in this inventive animated film from the folks at Pixar (TOY STORY, FINDING NEMO). Owen Wilson does the voice of arrogant rookie racecar Lightning McQueen, who winds up stranded in the small desert town of Radiator Springs on his way west to a big showdown. Sentenced to community service after literally tearing up the road in a high-speed chase, at first all Lightning can think of is getting back to the world of corporate sponsorship and merchandising tie-ins he loves so well. Eventually, however, the eccentric residents of Radiator Springs begin to grow on him, especially the attractive lady Porsche lawyer (Bonnie Hunt) and a rusty old tow-truck (Larry the Cable Guy). There's also a hippie Volkswagen (George Carlin), a low-riding T-bird (Cheech Martin) and Paul Newman as the gruff, curmudgeonly Doc Hudson, the town judge who harbors his own checkered-flag past. The story may not be new, but Pixar's precision-engineered animation brilliantly illuminates the town and its surrounding cactus-studded vistas down to the minutest detail, and director/writer John Lasseter keeps the film's satiric wit and generous heart in perfect alignment. Adults in the audience should appreciate the film's celebration of old-school American eccentricity, and the kids will dig all the thunderous grit and high-octane wheel burning.

JamesBo from London , 30/04/2008

Great fun from Pixar. An engaging story and superb animation (on blu ray). Also some intelligent voice casting. Watch out forJohn Ratzenberger's party piece at the end during the credits. very funny.

Rated - 5 stars'Cars"

steviegee from Redcar , 26/05/2008

Rented this as my first viewing of a Blu Ray disc. The picture quality is outstanding - I was not disappointed. Great sound effects too. Apart from being blown away with the quality etc, the film was pretty good too! Highly recommended.

Rated - 4 starsOur First Hi Def Movie

A customer from Nottingham , 07/07/2008

If Cars is your first hi def move be prepared to rent it again. Better still, buy it. When your friends want a demonstration of your new hi def TV - Cars will seriously blow them away. The only problem with Cars is that it looks so good you will find yourself gawking slack jawed at the visuals and you will miss bits of the storyline. The storyline, by the way, is, in parts, sappy sentimental 'merkin twaddle but don't let that put you off, it's a good all round, all American, all you can eat movie. Recommended.
