US (2006): Animation/Family/Comedy/Sports
Disney and Pixar produce a high-octane adventure comedy that shows life is about the journey, not the finish line. Hotshot rookie race car Lightning McQueen (voiced by Owen Wilson) is living life in the fast lane until he hits a detour on his way to the most important race of his life. Stranded in Radiator Springs, a forgotten town on the old Route 66, he meets a snazzy Porche named Sally (Bonnie Hunt), the wise-cracking tow truck Mater (Larry the Cable Guy), Doc Hudson (Paul Newman), and a variety of quirky characters who help him discover that there's more to life than trophies and fame. Revved up with a sensational soundtrack, featuring Rascal Flatts, Sheryl Crow, John Mayer, James Taylor, and others, Cars is full of freewheeling fun for everyone.
Written and directed by John Lasseter and Joe Ranft. Also features the voices of Cheech Marin, Tony Shalhoub, George Carlin, Katherine Helmond, John Ratzenberger, Michael Keaton, Jay Leno, Tom Hanks, Tim Allenm, Billy Crystal and John Goodman. (Disney/Pixar - Web site)
