Checking Under The Hood

All indications are that the collaboration between Disney/Pixar Animation Studios has another success on their hands with the release of Cars. That said, the windfall may in fact, be a bit smaller than the mega-hits of the past.

Ben Fritz & Dave McNary of Variety say that 'Cars' looks for fast start at B.O. in an article titled Pixar's" sweet ride, Joshua Rich of Entertainment Weekly thinks that while "Cars" will race to No. 1, he also believes in the end Pixar's latest won't earn as much as "Nemo" or "Incredibles"...

One of EW's film critics, Lisa Schwarzbaum, loved the film giving it a grade of A. And it seems that most of her fellow critics share in that positive opinion.

Of course, I have only seen the previews of the movie, but I must say, it looks fantastic and seems to be a lot of fun. Time will tell whether or not it will be considered a mega-hit.

Next up on the summer assembly line, a twofer....The Fast and The Furious: Tokyo Drift and Nacho Libre.
