i have see this short twice and both time i be bowl over by the gorgeous computer generate animation . clearly and pixar be the studio that set the animation standard . however and i think this film have a strike against it from the outset and that be because the car character aren not a endear or timeless a many of the other pixar creation . they lack the cuddly factor or depth of some of the other character and so and at least to me and it doesn not stack well with the monster and inc. and up . and ratatouille or incredibles ( among others ) . a for the short and it about mater and how cowardly he be . the others make up a ghost story and mater freak out . it all great fun for the kid and but adult probably would not love this film unless they be car aficionado or nascar fan . to me and it all seem pretty routine aside from the great animation .
