A hot-shot race-car named Lightning McQueen gets waylaid in Radiator Springs, where he finds the true meaning of friendship and family.
Yes, it did take me about four years to see this movie, completing the list of then-released Pixar movies I had seen. I really had no interest in this movie. It was about cars. Cars are not interesting. And I don't like Owen Wilson.
That being said, I saw it because a friend had it and insisted I see it. Trusting him as a fellow Pixar devotee, I watched it on my computer during the school year. I was pleasantly surprised. The story was not super insane or anything, it did what Pixar does best: simple, well-done storytelling. And yes, the car puns did abound, but the themes and emotions behind the cars were strong enough to withstand the gloss of somewhat childish humor.
This is not my favorite Pixar movie, but it was sweet and sincere.
