Mum, Dad, boy and I all sat and watched 'Cars' last night as the boy had got it on DVD. The boy decided to make it into a big presentation thing and prepared lots of little nibbles set out on the table for us to eat during the movie and we were informed it was ok, there would be an intermission half way through for drinks and bathroom breaks. We were treated to his sale spiel when he informed us that the DVD was now available in all good stores and we could go find it after we'd seen the film. The boy somberly turned out the lights so we could get the full movie experience. Dad promptly fell asleep through the first half of the film as it was dark.
I love this film (as well as the music in it, note to self... borrow DVD off the boy just so I can listen to that soundtrack in surround sound). OK so I love Disney anyway. OK so I *LOVE* PIXAR and have to admit they sound like just such a fun company to work for. But but but I love their movies with a passion. They are just so warm and HUMAN and the characters and stories just pull at the heart. Please don't ask how many times I saw the Incredibles *blush* and was kinda hmmmm and iffy when I saw the trailers for Cars, but its just a brilliant film. I guess I identify with it a lot... not with the selfish side of him, but with the whole... rushing ever onwards treating the goal as the thing. I admit, at the end I cried (again), just a little and it was dark so I am sure it was just ummm a cold or how bright the TV was in my eyes. Yes, thats it. I also found myself welling up a lil when John Lassiter was talking (on the featurette) about his inspiration for the film, where he rediscovered how to be close to his kids by just enjoying the meandering journey through life.
Yes, I'm mushy as hell. *grin*
