Another Pixar animation that tells the story of how to be a good person. Lightening McQueen is a young racing car heading for the big time, who loses focus of his friends and his loyalties. All the signs of selfishness and narrow mindedness.

On his trip to the biggest race of his life, a minor encounter with the law ends McQueen in Radiator Springs, a small, quiet, town off Route 66.

We spend the major portion of the film learning about all things that make a person good.

I doubt my son and any of the younger viewers picked up on this moral, all they saw is a shiny red racing car, racing around, talking to other cars, some more racing and the end.

I didn't really think this was such a great film, even if it does have a Ferrari at the end voiced by 7 times Formula 1 World Champion Michael Schumacher.
