CARS
SYNOPSIS
After taking moviegoers magically into the realm of
toys, bugs, monsters, fish, and superheroes, the
masterful storytellers and technical wizards at Pixar
Animation Studios ("The Incredibles," "Finding
Nemo," "Monsters, Inc."), and Academy
Award-winning director John Lasseter ("Toy Story,"
"Toy Story 2," "A Bug's Life"), hit the road with a
fast-paced comedy adventure set inside the world of
cars. Lightning McQueen (voice of OWEN WILSON),
a hotshot rookie race car driven to succeed,
discovers that life is about the journey, not the finish
line, when he finds himself unexpectedly detoured in
the sleepy Route 66 town of Radiator Springs. On
route across the country to the big Piston Cup
Championship in California to compete against two
seasoned pros, McQueen gets to know the town's
offbeat characters -- including Sally (a snazzy 2002
Porsche voiced by BONNIE HUNT), Doc Hudson (a
1951 Hudson Hornet with a mysterious past, voiced
by PAUL NEWMAN), and Mater (a rusty but trusty tow
truck voiced by LARRY THE CABLE GUY) -- who help
him realize that there are more important things
than trophies, fame and sponsorship. The all-star
vocal cast also includes free-wheeling
performances by racing legend Richard Petty and
Cheech Marin. Fueled with plenty of humor, action,
heartfelt drama, and amazing new technical feats,
CARS is a high octane delight for moviegoers of all
ages.
