Cars spoilers (no pun intended)

Just got back from seeing Cars!!

Racing fans! Go see this movie!

Cars is definatly a movie for Nascar fans...non-nascar fans would be slightly confused by all the references but you'd still enjoy it.

Spoiler:

Other folks in the movie:
Mario Andretti (not sure what type of car he was)
Jay Leno voices himself as a Limo named Jay Limo..
Dale Earnhardt Jr has several cameo appearances
Derryle Waltrip plays his car self in the movie, Derryle Cartrip (Man! Was I cheering when he said "boogity! Boogity! Boogity!")
Michael Schumacher voices a Ferrari version of himself
John Ratzenberger voices Mack The Truck (Lightening's uh Mack Truck)
Larry The Cable Guy voices Mater (a tow truck...Tow Mater...ouch)

Well plus many others!

And stay for the credits cuz it doesn't really end when the credits start! Poor John Ratzenberger..

Cars is a flick for NASCAR fans and kids. "Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby" however, is for NASCAR fans and people who pour beer in their Cheerios.

Cars got nothing on M.A.S.K's Racing season

no thanks I think I'll skip this one unless some one can give me a good reason to see it...I'm not into cars or nascar.

Looks like I'm staying away from this one. I detest Nascar and everything it stands for.

Well..it's a cool film just the same...there are some cute moments with the insects (Volkswagon Beatles...litterally....little blue flying ones

) and in the end with the cars watching THEIR versions of previous pixar films (Toy Car Story, Monster Car Inc, A Bug's Life..

)

I can't stand NASCAR (watch cars drive in a circle 400 times? why?) but I adored this movie. Of course, I'm an animation geek so I enjoyed it more from that standpoint. Take the scenery, for example. Amazing... especially out in the country. I've driven across America several times during my life, and that's what it looks like.

Pixar's also pretty good at taking relatively simple stories and actually making good movies out of them. I was entertained, even though the first few teasers about a year ago had me pretty apathetic about the whole movie.

Sure, I probably would have enjoyed more references if I were a NASCAR fan... but t'was a good movie anyway. (and actually... car racing makes more sense to me in this world, as it's more like a sporting event for the car itself...)

Thumbs up from me.

Cars is definatly a movie for Nascar fans...non-nascar fans would be slightly confused by all the references but you'd still enjoy it. Spoiler: The movie is basically about the end of the racing season (so around November?). The Winston er Piston Cup is down to 3 racers, retiring The King (voiced by uh well Richard "The King" Petty), jack arse Chick Hicks (voiced by Batman er Michael Keaton), and rookie sensation Lightening McQueen (Owen Wilson). When the race ends in a 3 way tie they decide that there'd be a race between the 3 cars a week later in California. On his way to the track Lightening gets lost in this town on route 66. While there he befriends the townfolk, which includes a racing legend, Doc Hudson (voiced by racing legend Paul Newman). With the help of the town folk he realizes that winning isn't everything (even if it is the Piston Cup!). Other folks in the movie: Mario Andretti (not sure what type of car he was) Jay Leno voices himself as a Limo named Jay Limo..
