Last Friday our Family had the privileged of being invited to an advanced screening of Disney Pixar’s Cars 2 in 3D.
and yes we were SO excited, we got to see the movie before the the swanky people from the Hollywood premier ((giggles))  Major Happy dance!!!

The movie was absolutely fun!  It was well worth the long wait.  The graphics were amazing.  Tokyo, Paris, Radiator Springs, and all the international espionage that goes on during all of that travel just had my kids on the edge of their seats!!!
My 5 year old son who just loves to talk during EVERY movie, did not say a word during the entire thing!

About the movie, NO SPOILERS; I promise!
Mater who we all love, get’s mistaken for an international spy and it’s a non-stop race for both Mater and McQueen during the First ever World Grand Prix.  Mater’s costumes during the middle of the movie are hilarious!  Ever heard of “Mater-hosen?” LOL!!!

Here are some of the adorable new cars and cameos:

 Master British super spy Finn McMissle has a voice like Michael Caine 😉
Spy in training Holley Shiftwell sounds like Emily mortimer
 The Queen!
Jeff Gorvette sounds a lot like Jeff Gordon 😉
Lewis Hamilton sounds and IS Lewis Hamilton!!! 😉
The 3D added to the experience, it was truly one of the best movies we have seen in a long time 😉
From our Family Cars 2 gets 16 thumbs up!!!! 😉
Want some extra fun facts to look for?
  • In this movie McQueen no longer has sticker headlights, he has the real deal!
  • The tires on McQueen are “LightYear” brand, relating it to “Buzz” from Toy Story
  • As another reference to Toy Story, McQueen’s #95 is for1995; the year Toy Story was released
  • In Toy Story 3, you can see a poster with Finn McMissle in Andy’s room
  • John Lasetter and wife were told in a trip to Paris that when you cross the Pont Des Arts, couples are supposed to kiss.  It’s adorable to see it in Cars 2 😉
  • Another thing about Pont Des Arts is that it has a long time custom where couples attach padlocks to the rails and throw the key in the river, sealing their love.  Look at the railings in the movie, you will see locks 😉
Hope you all enjoyed my review, I tried so hard to not spoil the movie 😉
My Family received passes to a special advanced screening of Cars 2, on 6/17, all opinions and ideas are my own

    We are super excited to see it! Thanks for the great review! Knowing that your 5 yr old sat through it without a word makes me feel a little more at ease with taking MY 5 yr old to see it! 😉

    Wish I could borrow a little one to go see it….wait, can I borrow one of yours? I miss having young children around, somehow my 28 year old just doesn’t do the same things with me that he used to.

    Love the review!!!

Hi!
Welcome to our little world!
My name is Lily, I am a Mommy to 6 kids; and wife to a US Navy Sailor of 15 years. We are a typical Family trying to live the American dream, and though my son’s Autism and my Husband’s PTSD and TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) sometimes try to dampen our mood; we try our hardest to push through it and keep on movin’!

I absolutely LOVE blogging, sharing our life, and our adventures; whether good or not so good.

Our Family went through what WE hope is the worst week ever a year and a half ago, and tragedies continued to hit our Family for a while.
In 4 days, our car was totaled, our house broken into, and our house caught on fire. We are literally having to start over from scratch.
