Tate (5) and I went to see it on Saturday. LOVED IT!
You know the McDonald's Happy Meal toys are the cars from the movie, right? We got Lightning yesterday, my kids were so excited! We also have Sally and Mater. I guess I'll be having Happy Meals for lunch for the next little while.
I really like the Pixar movies. They are really well written, animated, etc. They are just fun and have a good message. I liked what it had to say about the Interstates and the old roads. When I was a kid (1970's) we used to drive to visit my Grandma in Central Utah. (150 miles away). The highway used to go through a lot of the smaller towns, including Nephi. There was this really good burger/ malt etc. shop called Frostee-Freeze. That was always a fun stop and reward for us. Now the highway bypasses towns like that. Now what used to be a 3 hour drive is a 2 hour drive (or so). But it's kind of a shame.
I liked the message at the end of the final race... I loved the little VW flies, the VW Buses soul patch, so many details.
I thought I saw a Contour rear end for half a second but I'm not sure.
LOVED IT ! 4 thumbs up!
