Tallglassofmilk with the Drink This blog saw a screening of Pixar's "Cars" movie a few days ago. He proclaimed it as "fantastic," but expressed this concern:
A must-see for NASCAR fans and anyone who appreciates American nostalgia — or life before freeways. But, as fabulous as it is, I'm not sure this one will be a big winner with the lil' ones, unless they're hardcore race fans.
It's a legitimate concern, but in my opinion, it's unwarranted. I'd be hard-pressed to find many boys who don't like cars, trucks or vehicles of any kind. Girls, at first glance, may not like the film as much, but it does feature a prominent female character, Sally, and a love story.
And I think the NASCAR element is way underrated. NASCAR is the No. 1 spectator sport in the United States, and earns unbelievable loyalty from its fans. NASCAR fans have been an underserved by Hollywood for years. I think the NASCAR fans will come out to see this movie in droves, and that will be seen big-time at the box office.
That's my opinion. But I could be wrong.
I think girls will see this movie. I’m a girl…amd I think I’am more crazy about this movie than any boy ever will.
