First Review of Pixar’s Cars
The first public screening of Pixar’sCars was at the ShoWest conference in Las Vegas this week. Directed byToy Story genius John Lasseter, the film is due this summer.
Writer Joseph L. Kleiman has the first review. He writes:
“Equal parts humor – there’s references to everything from the anti-establishment disobedience of the 1960’s to newer pop culture standards like “The Fast and the Furious” – and tenderness, the packed house openly combined laughter with tears. During a very touching scene about how the Interstate Highway system decimated towns along Route 66, there was barely a dry eye in the house. You heard me right. Looking around, I could see grown men sobbing (though I’m a bit modest to admit to anything myself). The scene was reminiscent and on a par with the scene where Jessie is thrown away in “Toy Story 2.”
