Cars: They did it again

God Bless the day Disney and Pixar decided to work together. Their partnership has given us some of the greatest movies of all, the kind that we can watch over and over again. Their latest offering, Cars, follows that tradition.
This labour of love from John Lasseter is great fun, with all the familiar Pixar ingredients – really funny lines, state of the art animation and clever writing. The story has a very “Swades” feel to it, about a big city race car driver finding the simple pleasures of friendship and loyalty (the most staple Disney product for the last 8 decades).
Although Cars is technically brilliant, I wouldn’t rate is as the best from the stable. Each Pixar movie topped its genre – Action couldn’t get better in Incredibles, Emotions was dealt with style in Finding Nemo, and side splitting humour couldn’t be funnier that Monsters Inc. Cars on the other hand has a small dose of everything, so while that may be a good thing, it doesn’t top any particular aspect. Without a major plot to pull through, Cars falters in the middle.
But however nitpicky you get, there is no escaping that Cars is yet another achievement from the seemingly infallible duo of Disney and Pixar.
