M LOVING IT..


Hi guys. posting aftr long time. well, wana share something today...


I recently had an honour to watch CARS, the movie. GOD....i was just hypnotized by the work. i had once gone to see the movie but for some reasons had to leave it before the mid. so, i had been searching for the movie for quite a long time now. a few days back, my student told me that he has the DVD-rip version. AAAHHHHHAAAA.... was so happy to hear that. got a copy from him. came home. had dinner in hurry. n sat in front of my pc.. movie started..... and..what to say... i just love it. one more name in my favorites' list.

A very very beautiful blend of animation's power and human emotions.. A great great role played by Sir John Lasseter as director, story writer and screenplay developer. what a story teller he has created. and direction is superb. camera angles are rily great. And on top of it all, what an idea of casting cars for the movie.. Auditions would have been great to see... hehe....

character developers have rily done a great job. all the characters have designs to suit the role. the idea i loved most was using tractors as lazy grazing kettles…and just like they walk on the road forming a group and following each other, and just run all over as somebody blows horn from behind.. very very good. One thing more I loved is we dint have to think about which one is male car and which one has feminine role. But everything else was great too.

Rigging is again a great part. What a magic the riggers have created. so flexible rigs to animate almost any emotion and expression. clap clap clap....

AAAHHHHHH..... ANIMATION. No words to explain what i was feeling. i could count around 100 animation artists during end credits. Hats off to them. Using front tyres as hands and body as shoulders... and generally what we see in cartoons is that they just use headlamps as eyes..but i was amazed by the diff. approach pixar took. McQueen’s eyes and hands made us believe that it was alive and breathing.. we could easily understand when he was angry , or sad or amazed.. SUPERBLY GREAT ACTING.

Other tiny-miny points that added to the feel of CAR WORLD were flies, alarm clock toy, toy car story, monster truck inc…

There are a lot lot points to praise . but no words to describe them.

One thing is true – There Is Lot More To Racing Than Just Winning.
