| Cars |
| Set in a world inhabited only by motor vehicles, Cars is sort of a cross between Michael J. Fox's Doc Hollywood and NASCAR. The main hero is a hotshot rookie race car named Lightning McQueen (Owen Wilson)--an obvious homage to the late fast-driving Steve McQueen--whose one goal in life is to win the Piston Cup and bask in fame and glory. Yet, on his cross-country trip to the Piston Cup Championship in California to compete against two seasoned pros (real-life legendary racer Richard Petty voices the reigning champion The King), Lightning finds himself unexpectedly detoured in the sleepy--and forgotten--Route 66 town of Radiator Springs. There he meets its colorful denizens--including Sally (Bonnie Hunt), a snazzy 2002 Porsche, who owns the local “rest” stop; Mater (Larry the Cable Guy), the town’s rusty but trusty tow truck; and Doc Hudson (Paul Newman), a 1951 Hudson Hornet, who rules the town with a steady hand, er, wheel. Together, they all help the cocksure Lightning realize that there are more important things than trophies, fame and sponsorship. |
