Yes, this product is new and unopened, yet when we put it in to play, it automatically played with subtitles. When we went to turn the subtitles off, we noticed that the other subtitle option was for Malaysia. Secondly, although the box says there are additional features to watch and those features show up on the main menu screen, we cannot choose those options or play the bonus features. Finally, several times throughout the movie, a little symbol and a 1/2 shows up on the screen. For a brand new copy, something about this just doesn't seem completely legit.

What I invariably look for in any movie I take the time to see is, what point is it trying to make with me? Almost anyone can attest to the great number of pointless cinamatic ventures that are out there, including Disney , and it among other film companies wants to be regarded as a corporation with substance. "Cars" was fun to watch, and it's point I believe was to give children a good time. Who cares that this film makes the same point that has been made, to ill effect at times, about the mores of human behvior in other Disney movies. In my lay opinion, it's not top drawer stuff, but my kids continue to enjoy it, and that's the hook Disney hopes to put in all their films. My six year old son never tires of it, and truth be told, I like all those colors!
Posted by CK-Auctions Movie for movie, Pixar is commercially the single most successful studio ever in this industry, and their initial six feature films were widely considered to be classics from the moment their first digitally-rendered frames splashed across theater screens. Let's go ahead and get this out of the way first: yes, Cars probably is the weakest of their releases so far, but griping that Cars is Pixar's least impressive movie is kind of like complaining that you missed a number on a lottery ticket and only won a couple hundred thousand bucks. When a studio has a list of movies like Toy Story 2, Finding Nemo, and The Incredibles under its belt, merely being "very good" kinda pales by comparison. Still, if you're willing to appreciate Cars for what it is rather than debate how it stacks up against the rest of Pixar's filmography, it's hard to imagine anyone feeling disappointed. This may be hotshot Lightning McQueen's first year in the racing circuit, but he's already favored to be the first rookie in history to ever take home the Piston Cup. Lightning's good, and he knows it; he's too insufferably cocky to keep a steady pit crew on the payroll, and he's eager to shrug off Rust-eze Bumper Ointment, the low-rent sponsor who took a chance on him, in favor of a fossil fueled corporate behemoth. His arrogance nearly costs him the 'Cup, and on his way to a second race to break an unprecedented three-way tie, Lightning finds himself stranded in the sleepy little town of Radiator Springs. It used to be one of the highlights on Route 66, but as travelers gravitated towards the newly constructed interstate, Radiator Springs literally dropped off the map. Anymore, it's the kind of place you'd call "backwater" if it weren't smack-dab in the middle of the desert, and that rare occasion when someone passes through is treated like some sort of epochal event. Without any way of contacting the press or his sponsors, Lightning's stuck there until the law's satisifed that he's finished repaving the road he trashed. As he gets to know townsfolk (towncars?) like the sleek big-city-lawyer-turned-not-so-big-city-hotelier Sally and rusty, dimwitted tow truck Mater, it starts to strike Lightning that maybe there's more to life than the fast lane after all. Okay, the Doc Hollywood-meets-Days of Thunder analogy that every movie reviewer is contractually obligated to toss out about Cars isn't exactly unfounded. The skeleton of this fish-out-of-water tale is overly familiar and doesn't really take any unexpected detours until its very final moments. At 116 minutes, it's (just barely) Pixar's longest movie to date, and with its first act lacking a strong hook, Cars probably would've been a much smoother ride if the road to Radiator Springs weren't quite so long. Just a little of the humor also aims lower than I'd expect from Pixar, and some of the double-underlined moral lessons and oversentimentality can be really heavy-handed, but...once the movie settled in, very little of this actually bothered me. Its characters may be Detroit steel, but there's more under the hood than just crankshafts and carburetors. There's a real heart to the movie, and by the time its first hour had ended, I was completely hooked.

Pixar hits the mark again with a movie that has something for the whole family. Cars tells the story of a rising star of the 'Piston Cup' racing world, who finds that real happiness comes with helping others, instead of just serving yourself. Ultimately, our hero trades in his dream of a prize for the joy of caring for others, and finds love and true friends along the way. It is set in a 'world' made up entirely of vehicles, from the main characters to the insects (little flying VW bugs). This film has all the action and adventure that a kid could want, loads of great music, and a fantastic message. The folks at Pixar also understand that the adults are likely to suffer through a child's favorite movie over and over again, so they put alot of subtle things into Cars (and their other films) for the parents to enjoy (like the old rusty car in the back of the crowd shouting 'Freebird!'. The writers at Pixar seem to have a real gift for creating scripts that mix various levels of humor targeted to many different age groups and cultural backgrounds, and Cars is no exception. I really enjoyed watching the movie the first 4-5 times, and have been easily able to tolerate it the following 50 times. The graphics is top notch (the norm for Pixar), which in this case really helps develop an emotional understanding of characters that are ... Cars! We're talking leaps and bounds ahead of the Chevron commercial cars. Pixars cars display real feelings in their facial characteristics and body language. The voice cast is excellent overall, but I must say that Larry the Cable Guy as Mater and Paul Newman as Doc nearly steal the show. Finally, the DVD contains some great short movies, including "Mater and the Ghostlights" starring the Cars cast, and "One Man Band", which we originally saw in the theater with Cars. Both are very entertaining. A variety of other fantastic bonus features rounds off the Cars DVD to make a fantastic package of entertainment for a reasonable price. A real bargain if you ask me. I enthusiastically give Cars a 5/5!Read full review
