Also, why the fuck is this movie almost 2 hours long?

"Yeah, okay."

 

Cars is one of Pixar's most controversial, and for good reason. It's certainly a mixed bag of the film. The world of it reminds remarkably ill-conceived compared to any other one the studio has presented, and the characters populating it are highly forgettable and generic. Yet, it's hard not to like it on some level. The theme of progress's natural oblivion hits heavy in the second half, and Wilson's voice-acting thankfully improves by that point. Paul Newman's presence adds a natural gravitas to his character's scenes, allowing them to come close to the Pixar standard. The film always looks good, and the wacky scenarios from this dumb world still can please from time to time. Whenever the film invokes iconography from other automobile-focused films, amusement naturally arises. However, the climax is barely earned to make really wonder why Doc Hudson and Lightning McQueen actually changed. Cars is easily one of the weakest Pixar films, but all around, it's average in a watchable way, with enough fun moments or well thought-out scenes to be worth a watch. A disappointment for its time, but just fine for today. C+
