Disney Cars (Blu-ray)

Hotshot race car Lightning McQueen (Owen Wilson) is living life in the fast lane - until he hits a detour and gets stranded in Radiator Springs, a forgotten town on Route 66. There he meets Sally, Mater,Doc Hudson (Paul Newman) and a heap of hilarious characters who help him discover there's more to life than trophies and fame. Go deeper into the world of "Cars" than you ever dreamed possible in eye-popping visual clarity. Feel the sound of roaringengines and rock to the rhythm of some smokin' roadhouse riffs with audio enhancement that puts thepedal to the metal! Experience "Cars" for the first time on Disney Blu-ray - Magic in High Definition.

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?). Nonetheless, Cars is another gleaming ride with Pixar founder John Lasseter, who's directing for the first time since Toy Story 2. 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). The Incredibles was the first Pixar film to break the 100-minute barrier, but had enough story not to suffer; Cars, at 116 minutes (including some must-see end credit footage), is not as fortunate, plus it never pierces the heart. Trivia fans should have bonanza with the frame-by-frame DVD function; the movie is stuffed with in-jokes, some appearing only for an instant. Ages 5 and up. --Doug Thomas

Beautiful in BluRay October 2, 2008

Pixar has always made great films and Cars is no exception. The pure digital transfer looks beautiful in HiDef with a BluRay player and 1080p HDTV (Sony PS3 and Samsung 40" in my case). Colors are spectactular. I love the music and voice acting Pixar put together as well. Click and Clack, the Tapert brothers from NPR as the Rusteeze owners was an especially nice touch. The plot of the film is kid friendly but also takes adults back to the time when people drove cars to drive cars and meet people, not get somewhere. Now the occasional car meet at the local drive in diner (if any are left in your town) is about all that is left of this culture. Cars reminds us all of that time not long ago.
Best Blu demo September 27, 2008

Let me echo what others have said: this is the best blu-ray I've seen yet. The picture is brilliant of course, but the PCM sound at 24 bits will also rock your speakers. The special in-movie features are the best implementation so far of what blu-ray can offer us. You can feel the dedication and love when watching them - so removed from some of the tacked on 10 'making of' bits we get even on most blu-ray today.
This disk should be held as a standard to other studios when they whine about people not buying enough blu ray. If every disk were like this I'd be broke buying them.

The video that I recieved from this seller was not an original copy. It was either a pirated copy or one that came out over seas before we got it here. Either way, the copy has issues. Granted, I only paid $10 plus shipping, but I didn't think it was that hones.
