Moving on to the first film viewed last evening we saw Disney/Pixar's (are these the same company now?) new release Cars. With some good voice actors including Owen Wilson, Bonnie Hunt, Cheech Marin, Larry the Cable Guy, Michael Keaton and Paul Newman the cast was obviously solid. The story was fantastic, if not a bit cheesy, and in the end decides to forsake the typical selfish "winning is still important" attitude.
The story is kind of a take-off from Doc Hollywood combined with some Fast and the Furious and a sprinkle of Lady and the Tramp. In all I found it very entertaining and on par with Disney's top tier films. I was pleasantly surprised since I did not think that the story would interest me at all; I had the same misconception when Toy Story came out. All the adults and kids loved it ranging in age from 3 - 36.
I HIGHLY recommend this film.

Pixar was aquired by Disney in May of this year for $7.4 billion in an all stock transaction. Pixar, however, remains a separate entity within Disney. The aquisition of Pixar led to my favorite liberal, Steve Jobs, becoming Disney's largest individual shareholder, as he held 50.1% of Pixar stock. Also giving the head of Apple a seat on the Disney board of directors.
Class dismissed.
