Just saw the first showing (12:30 p.m.) at our local theater. What a darling movie!! Being born in January 1951 and having a photo of myself at about 11 months old in front of my family’s Hudson, I am particularly fond of Doc Hudson! Took may a trip down Route 66 as a kid to visit relatives in California. Didn’t realize Clik and Clak had parts and was surprized to hear Jay Leno’s voice. Lots of things to “discover” in this movie. Gonna see it again with my 3 year old grandson!!
On behalf of the Animated-News.com team, I’d like to thank you very much for referring to our coverage of the Cars premiere as “superb,” Ron. We appreciate that.
