Cars (Single-Disc Widescreen Edition)

Description

From the acclaimed creators of TOY STORY, THE INCREDIBLES,
and FINDING NEMO comes a high-octane adventure comedy that shows life is about
the journey, not the finish line. Hotshot rookie race car Lightning McQueen
(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 Sally, Mater, 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,
plus exciting bonus features, including the short movie “Mater And The
Ghostlight,” CARS is full of freewheeling fun for everyone. Set Contains: With
the slimmest extras package for a Pixar film debuting on DVD, Cars still
shines for home viewing. As with earlier digital-to-digital transfers, the
film sounds and looks stunning. There is only one behind-the-scenes feature, a
16-minute cursory but entertaining glance at director John Lasseter’s
influences (his dad was a car-parts manager), including some of the real-life
inspiration for the film such as Michael Wallis’s influential book on Route 66
(he also voiced the sheriff). There’s a new cartoon for the DVD, “Mater and
Ghost Light,” which is smile-inducing at best. Four deleted scenes (in
storybook format with voices) also show a darker tone the movie may have taken
at one point. Best is the adorable short “One Man Band” that showed
theatrically with the film, and the film’s credit sequence can be seen full
screen without the credits (and find the Easter egg for an extended version).
Not a tricked-out DVD, but still worth a spin. –Doug ThomasCars at
