Half of A Decade

Cars is now five years old. It’s so hard to believe this movie has been around for half of a decade. It’s been in my life for five years. In two years, I will get my Cars tattoo.

Happy Cars anniversary, Pixar. Also, to all of you Planeteers.

15 days until Cars 2. Let’s make some more memories, together.

Wow, we’ve been celebrating a lot of Pixar movies’ birthdays lately! :slight_smile:

Well, I can’t believe it’s been five wonderful years since I fell hood-over-wheels in love with Pixar. While Finding Nemo was the primer fuel, Cars was the spark-plug ignition that kickstarted my ‘romance’ with the studio. It combined two of my greatest loves, cars and movies, into one heartfelt tribute to old-town Americana and the open road.

Happy birthday to the greatest car movie of all-time. Hopefully the sequel will enchant me as much as the first.

Cars isn’t my favorite Pixar movie (although it’s high on my ranking list), but it’s very special to me, being the one that started my fandom. I saw it 5 years ago, this very day, and I’ve been in love with Pixar ever since.
I must admit, I was losing my love for Cars earlier this year, but then I got hyped up for Cars 2 and rewatched it. I think I’ve grown to love it more than I ever did when I first saw it, and now I think I can say that I am more excited for Cars 2 than I have ever been for any other movie.
Happy Birthday, Cars! :smiley:

Happy birthday Cars! :smiley: It’s amazing how much nostalgia this movie can give me already. I remember my brother becoming obsessed with it, with Cars-themed birthday parties and whatnot. Here’s to more memories with Cars 2!

Happy birthday Cars, even if I am late on this! :blush: May Cars 2 be the best sequel ever.

Happy birthday Cars (late, but it’s okay I guess)! I still remember the first time I saw Cars, I cried at the end. I wasn’t expecting a movie about machines to ever make me feel that way. While it’s not my favorite Pixar movie, it’s for sure in the top five. I can’t wait to see the next chapter coming up so soon, and thank you for being such a wonderful movie with characters that I’ve fallen in love with. <3

Wow, I remember seeing this in theatres. I had such a great time. I still love Cars as much as I did back then!

It’s only been four years since I’ve seen this film. Groundhog Day 2007…there was a girl I liked who was crying that morning…her crying hurt me, because she was really upset about something and whenever a girl I like is crying that like that I feel her pain too…especially this one, who was my one true love.

Anyway, I was upset all day…wanting to comfort Susan, and when I got to my grandparents house that afternoon, my grandfather said he had got Cars from the Redbox. I didn’t want to see it that day. But the next day, I felt so overcome with hurt from what Susan was going through that I felt I might as well watch the Pixar movie, since I knew Pixar generally made good movies…though I was against seeing Cars at first, because I thought it would be about racing.

Anyway, I enjoyed it, and saw it once more in fall 2010. I will say that if Cars 2 ISN’T a good movie, I will never watch another movie again, because I will have lost my faith in them.

It seems so much longer when you say it like that; “half a decade”…well that’s…half a decade! I actually do not remember what my life was like before my first time watching Cars. I knew I was excited to see it and so was my best friend of the time. I had no idea how much it would change my life. I thought being obsessed with a movie was just plain absurd! After I watched it that first time though I never looked at a car the same way. Every time I saw one I would think of the movie. I used to go insane counting Porsches whenever we drove on the highway. I remember asking for the DVD for Christmas. I have memories of watching it a thousand times every summer when I was home with my little brother. My best friend would make up Cars stories along with me, humanized ones where we would own exotic cars. We used to try and quote the movie every chance we had. I think the lines of that movie are stitched across my heart. So many memories, all of them good. Boy, I could talk about them forever but you get the picture. It’s like sinking sand, I just sunk deeper and deeper and now there’s no getting out! :mrgreen:
