Route 66 as opposed to the Interstate system - a simpler life style, a small town mixture of characters, a simple romance - Value systems collide. But, then, what do I know. And yes, the visual was spectacular but there were some very funny lines too. I guess I enjoyed it more than you did and will probably add it to my ever growing collection of films for kids and grandmas.

I guess it had been too built up for me, but I felt ultimately it didn't live up to the hype. The plot seemed more suited for a half an hour episode of a cartoon series than a feature. In that regard, the pacing seemed incredibly off. Everything went really fast near the end, really slow near the beginning. A few things I thought were really funny, and the movie as a whole is enjoyable, but I wouldn't consider it as good as the other Pixar movies I have seen. I'm guessing your 4 are <i>Toy Story</i>, <i>Toy Story 2</i>, <i>Finding Nemo</i>, and <i>Monsters, Inc.</i>? Also, if I can't use HTML in this comment, it's going to look really messed up.
