Product Description
Owen Wilson, Paul Newman

Amazon.co.uk
There's an extra coat of hot wax on Pixar's vibrant, NASCAR-influenced comedy about a world populated entirely by cars. Lightning McQueen (voiced by Owen Wilson) is the slick rookie taking the Piston Cup series by storm when the last race of the season (the film's high-octane opening) ends in a three-way tie. On the way to the tie-breaker race in California, Lightning loses his way off Route 66 in the Southwest desert and is taught to stop and smell the roses by the forgotten citizens of Radiator Springs. It's odd to have such a slim story from the whizzes of Pixar, and the film pales a bit from their other films (though can that be a fair comparison?).p pNonetheless, iCars/i is another gleaming ride with Pixar founder John Lasseter, who is directing for the first time since iToy Story 2/i. There's the usual spectrum of excellent characters teamed with appropriate voice talent, loads of smooth humor for kids and parents alike, knockout visuals, and a colorful array of sidekicks, including a scene-stealing baby blue forklift named Guido. Lightning's plight is changed with the help of former big-city lawyer Sally Carrera (Pixar veteran Bonnie Hunt), the town's patriarch Doc Hudson (Paul Newman) and kooky tow truck Mater (Larry the Cable Guy). iThe Incredibles/i was the first Pixar film to break the 100-minute barrier, but had enough story not to suffer; iCars/i, at 116 minutes (including some must-see end credit footage), is not as fortunate, plus it never pierces the heart. --iDoug Thomas/ip

5 out of 5 stars Amazing quality!   November 4, 2008
Was totally stunned by the quality of the picture running at 1080p! Only the second bluey I've thought better than upscaled DVD. Good to see the disk space used for the main feature and a few little high quality extras - not the usual rubbish that you honestly never bother watching.

5 out of 5 stars High Octane Animation on a Sublime Blu-ray Disc   June 9, 2008

From the Disney Pixar camp and Directed by John Lasseter Cars enters the silver screen having a lot to live up to in the shadow of A Bug's Life, Toy Story, Monster's Inc etc. Enter Lightning McQueen (Owen Wilson voiceover) a pedigree racing car champion who is a little bit on the immature side and loses his way from his Transporter Truck only to find a little town once famous now run down on route 66 named Radiator Springs....it is there that Mcqueen does damage to the local property only to find himself facing Community Service under the supervision of a Hilarious pick up truck in need of some WD40 called Mator who has a catching chuckle and an infectious likeable character....The story goes on that maybe theres more to life than racing and Lightning McQueen gets all the lessons in life he needs from the friendly automobiles he comes across in Radiator Springs....there are some hilarious moments such as the Tractor Tipping that McQueen and Mator get up to in the fields at night and the great one liners from Mator who steals the show...Cars shines onto Blu-ray with absolutely the best picture quality on Blu-ray I have seen to date and that's without any exaggeration this is unbelieveable quality and should set the reference quality standard for Blu-ray as both the cars themselves and the scenery background are sublime...Sound is up there with the best too. For Great Family entertainment on the best picture and sound money can buy then this is an absolute no brainer....
