Cars impresses theater owners and reviewers

Animated News reports that Karl Cohen shares a piece about Pixar’s upcoming film Cars that he wrote for the April ASIFA-SF newsletter.

The article quotes from Jim Hill Media, Reuters, Film Daily and more about what they thought about the film when they saw it at ShoWest.

Here is an excerpt:

Film Daily wrote, “Pixar’s Cars surprises industry audience at ShoWest. Animated effort is company’s most sentimental, old-fashioned work to date, agree delegates.” At Jim Hill Media on the Internet, their reviewer wrote, “This is such a multi-layered film that ultimately I can only make one recommendation on the film: If you can only see one film this summer, go see Cars. If you can see two films, go see Cars twice… As one exhibitor sitting next to me said: ‘Not only might this be the biggest film of the summer, but this is the best CARtoon ever.’ I have to agree.”

He also talks about the movie and what was good and what was bad.
In the end he finishes up with asking if this is the secret of Pixar’s success.

Its a very good article and you should have a read here.

And briefly in other news, I picked up on a Disney website, that Cars runs from 109 minutes.
