Trivia:
The first Pixar film to use the technique called "ray tracing" which allows the animated cars to credibly reflect their environments. moreGoofs:
Continuity: As Mini and Van are approaching Radiator Springs, there is nothing on the sides of the road where the damage begins. As they continue through town everyone is in front of them or following them as they pass. After they leave there is a zoom shot down the damaged road. There are now 2 "END CONSTRUCTION ZONE" signs, one on either side of the road. When McQueen "finishes the road" moments later, the signs are gone. The signs stay gone in every available shot except one. When McQueen does finish the road and the townsfolk think he left the signs have suddenly returned. moreQuotes:
[first lines]Lightning McQueen: Okay, here we go. Focus. Speed. I am speed. One winner, forty-two losers. I eat losers for breakfast. Breakfast? Maybe I should have had breakfast? Brekkie could be good for me. No, no, no, focus. Speed. Faster than fast, quicker than quick. I am Lightning.

Caught the world premiere at Lowe's Motor Speedway in Charlotte-- we're not race fans ourselves by any means, but you really don't have to be to get on the road with this one. We were privvy to a couple inside jokes, living amongst the racing atmosphere that IS Charlotte, but even if we hadn't gotten that extra little chuckle, there's definitely plenty to find. Not just for kids. Kids will like the cute characters, and bright colors, adults will like it simply because it's just plain entertaining without having to dumb down to appeal to kids. You'll find yourself wanting to find the next twisty backroad to get to your next destination. Watch for all kids of cameo's, and it's too bad IMDb doesn't include a picture of the animated character as well-- it's not always easy to remember what the names are once you get home. Owen's good, Newman is classic, if a little flat (I applaud him for just plain staying active and leaving his house!), but it's really Larry the Cable Guy's movie-- newfound appreciation for that one-- and "tow-mater" is a multi-layered pun. Not only on the fact that he's a tow truck, but also his "they call me tater salad" bit-- Overall, highly entertaining, just try not to speed too much on the way home....
