I've taught them well.

Nice Job.

I couldn't wait any longer and bought it (here in Poland it was just released)... Weak add-ons/special features sections, almost none of making of... No deleted scenes... Oversaturated reds in otherwise nice video transfer. Dialog track a little too muted comparing to background sounds and music (at least for my taste). Last but not least: lack of Ratatouille teaser/trailer in Polish edition of this DVD. At the same time I bought IceAge2 DVD (also 1 disk edition) and its much more on par with my expectations (nice add-ons, not big but interesting making of material), transfer without single flaw (maybe except for some color banding on darker gradients, but that's the limitation of mpeg2 codec). So... Cars DVD much below my expectations (especially after great and extras packed Nemo and Incredibles 2DVD editions) and only Mater and The GhostLight and OneManBand save this edition in my eyes... It's even weaker than "not so impressive" US edition... Now waiting for something better... (BlueRay MegaSpecialEdition?).

The Cars DVD is awesome! I got mine at Wal-mart (the 2-pack)

What else was in the Walmart two-disc?

Just watched this last night...quite fun, but I thought the middle dragged.

The disc is adequate but I am <I>sure</I> this is the bog-standard "Bug's Life" edition that will be replaced by a 2-disc when Disney hits the Blu-Ray waters running.

Nothing worthy of a second disc

Pretty much a music video and the making of it.

Don't really know much else, since it was taken away from me until Christmas. Oh darn

But of course

But that's if Blue Ray wins! Which I'm hoping it will

I already bought the Cars 2-pack at Wal-mart so I went to Target this morning to get their Cars 2-pack and to see if they had any new Cars toys and guess what they were sold out of every Cars DVD in there store. Cars has got to be the most sold DVD in a long time, what do you guys think?

Yeah, I saw that. What a rip-off! I'm totally waiting for the SE.

Isn't it the truth? I should've waited, but whatever

Hey Ben I LOVED your Cars review.

I felt the same way about the negative, but also positive things you mentioned.

Great to see a review from you again!

See...I told you I would let you know what I thought in a few days!

Yes, good to be back writing reviews, and this is the first of many to come. We're also working on the past couple of months releases too, to fill up the gap.
