The Fun Zone: The Fun

Now here's another thing you can do with a puppy that you can't do with a human child: put her in a crate for a few hours so you can go see a movie.

We escaped the furball last night so we could go see Cars. Loved. It. It didn't unseat my all-time favorite of Monsters, Inc., but it's a darn good movie. I was a little wary of the whole talking cars theme, but I shouldn't have worried. It's smart, it's funny, and it has a soul. It certainly lives up to its Pixar bretheren.

What can I say about Pixar that hasn't already been said before? All I can think of is the word class. Pixar makes classy films. All it takes is a few minutes of viewing, and you know you're watching a quality production. Simply from the two-minute preview of Ratatoulle that screened before the movie, I know that it's going to kick ass. The opposite can be said for many of the more recent animated flicks. You can tell from the preview that it's just not going to be worth it.

Cars, however, is most definately worth it. Highly recommended.
