    That's me, too. I think the nostalgia appeals to me. I do think Cars is one of Pixar's weaker flicks, but I also think it's better than most movies. It's a bit more formulaic, but I do think there's genuine humor and emotion, and that's what I'm interested in at movies.

    And, I have two young boys. I've probably seen Cars - or at least parts of Cars - dozens of times now. It holds up well, as do all Pixar films. It definitely has repeat-viewability.

    Nemo made more money in theaters. Cars makes more money everywhere else.

    Surely you mean Ratatouille? It's the only Pixar movie I don't own (once was enough)!!!
