Cars
Like most digital artists, I was a fan of Pixar before they made their first feature film. In fact, by the time I saw their first short film Luxo, jr. many of us already knew their name from the .pxr (pixar) file format.
After a string of top notch shorts, most of us were excited to see their first feature film; the first feature film created entirely on a computer. True to form, Toy Story did not disappoint. Even if you took away the ground breaking animation, the fact that it launched a whole new type of animated film youd still have a damn good story. Entertaining even if it had been done with stop-motion, cell, or any other type of animation.
But Pixar didnt stop there for the next decade and a half, they continued to produce top-notch films, both long and short. While few (except maybe Toy Story 2) were as good as Toy Story they were all still outstanding.
Which brings us to Cars. Released as Pixars 20th anniversary film, Cars follows the story of a race car, Lightning McQueen, on his quest to win the prestigious Piston Cup. As usual, there is great animation, fun jokes, and neat cameos. But this time, Pixar failed to win the Academy Award for best animated feature a category that was practically created for the studio following the repeated snubbing of films like A Bugs Life, and the Toy Story films. This was only the second time since the award was created in the early 2000s that Pixar failed to win. And the loss to Warner Brothers (and previously to Dreamworks) was deserved, as this (and the previous Monsters, Inc.) were neither among Pixars best, nor the best in the field.
But, the fact that Cars is still an enjoyable, and even superior film judged in the context of all animated features ever made, or all films ever made for that matter, just goes to show how high Pixar has raised the bar for itself and everyone else.

While I can appreciate all of Pixar's films, I'd also appreciate a plot to go with the pretty animation. This movie seemed like just a big advertisement, and it will be for years after its release. The movie was simply too boring, too long, and without enough laughs. I can see why kids would like this, but if you are over the age of ten - you probably will not find it enjoyable. Pretty much an average movie, with the expectedly amazing CG animations. Not enough meaning here to consider this one a classic.

as good as any other Pixar movie
And if it's on par with other Pixar movies...it's great! A story about friendship, racing, and one stylish race car who learns how the real world works the hard way. great family fun.
