Cars Review

Yesterday was an amazing day for animation! I saw Cars twice within a five hour period...it blew my mind.

Let me just say, if you have any doubt about seeing this movie, put it aside and go buy a ticket right now. Drop whatever you are doing and go see it...actually, buy tickets for two showings back to back, because I am absolutely sure that you are going to want to see it again right after.

The animation was splendid, the story was touching, the humor was knee-slaping, the characters captured my heart. I have to see it a few more times!!!

When you see the movie, make sure you pay attention to the camera angles. I was watching an interview with an animator (I truly can't remember who) and he was discussing the camera angles they chose for the racing scenes. The angles chosen where perfect...they gave the race such speed! It was incredible! Also, the angles where something that could never be achieved in a real life race. Another thing, pay attention to the scenery. Everything ties in with the car world! A ton of thought was put into this movie and a lot of times it just goes unnoticed.

I loved how John Lasseter and the Pixar crew overcame the limitation of cars only have wheels -no hands- lots of buttons were used! Very innovative!

Go see it! Now!

P.S. Guido is the BEST Pixar character ever! I love him...
P.S.S. Make sure to stay through the credits! You'll regret it if you don't...
