So I didn't quite watch the full movie of this... but I thought I should do a review now as oppose to later because of how I felt about the movie after watching it the most recent time I watched it... so I'm going to just talk about it now... and we'll see what happens lol.
I always kind of think of this on the lower end of Pixar movies... but I think I underestimated it a little because it's a pretty unique and complex story with a lot of different elements to it... and I kind of like that.
Cars kind of plays an important role in The Pixar Theory... but watching it without knowing much about The Pixar Theory as a whole is super interesting.
Cars does the brilliant thing of combining everything people love about cars... people love watching Car races, so they have the Piston Cup. People love driving places, so they include Route 66. People love Car movies, so they have references to Steve McQueen. People love fancy cars, so they have a Porsche... people love rusty beat up cars- so they have Mater... just anything you could love about a Car, it's in this movie.
I think my favorite part is the Route 66 part... most of what I know about Route 66 is from Justin Scarred on youtube... he's just now traveling through all of route 66 now... so he's got a lot of current videos about the history of it and all the attractions. A lot of the characters in the movie are based off of real people you'll meet if you travel on Route 66... so that's kind of awesome.
I don't know a lot about Cars or racing... my dad does though- so I would be interested to know how he thinks about this... so there are things that are absolutely things adults will appreciate... but it's totally a fun kids movies. The toys have to be the greatest things ever, the movie is fun to watch... kids love Cars! I was an aid for a CCD class when I was in high school and the kids all LOVED whenever we had the Cars Stickers. Boys and girls... everyone just went crazy. It was really a lot of fun.
That all being said... I did fall asleep. That isn't really a bad thing- when I like something it relaxes me and I end up falling asleep... typically I don't fall asleep while watching Pixar movies... but this feels like something you watch in a Car and then fall asleep... so that's why that happened. Plus I had eaten a lot... and I did a lot that day... so it was a sleepy day.
I really had fun watching this... I'll definitely watch it some more... and I'll re-compare this to other Pixar movies... because this might be higher on the list than I thought.
Still have not seen Cars 2 or 3 as of the time I'm writing this... but I'd give those a chance. Cars 2 is pretty terrible and the reviews reflect that... Cars 3 is probably a little better... but I don't think it'll be as good as the original... which again- is maybe lower on the Pixar list than others of mine... I think I like it more than The Incredibles... idk. I'll have to think of that... but it's good and I'd recommend watching it if you love anything about cars.
Also Cars land in Disney's California Adventure... right? That's amazing.
