I wanna be seen with McQueen!



The last time i was this excited about an animated movie coming out was for Toy Story 3, which I'll grant you wasn't that long ago, but before that I could happily bypass the cinemas with the kids and see how long I could stretch it before they really knew what was going on in there and started begging me to go and see whatever new cartoon was out. The kids were just that little bit young, too, when Toy Story 3 came out to actually sit in a cinema without climbing on the seats and running in the aisles...

And then I saw it. An ad for Cars 2!! I was so excited for the kids, heck I was excited for me too!!

You see, we have a pizza and movie night at our place (usually once every couple of weeks), and Cars is the usual re-offender of the night and preventer of arguements. We spend the afternoon preparing our dough and whatever we want on our pizza, and making an awful mess while we're at it, and then the debate about what movie to watch comes up...

Miss 3 says "I wanna watch Care Bears".

Master 5 says "No, Care Bears are for babies. Let's watch Jumanji!" (knowing full well that it scares his sister, so he says it with a big grin in her direction while she has a mini meltdown...).

Meanwhile, Master 2 is pulling all of the DVD's out and putting them in a pile so he can look at the pictures, and show everyone which Wiggles episode it should be.

You'd think it would be impossible to find a compromise, something that we all enjoy watching without us parents ripping our hair out in boredom...

So I say, "Ok then, what about Cars?"

And they all stop and have a think about it. I get up and put "Life is a Highway" on the iPod, we have a bit of a dance and then I go into quoting all the funny lines, voices and all, while chasing and tickling them. We all agree that Cars is the way to go, and once again good old Lightning McQueen and Mater have saved the family!!

Now they've made another one!!! We'll have more choice!!

Disney Pixar have done it again. This time, McQueen and Mater are heading overseas so McQueen can race in the World Grand Prix which determines who is the WORLD'S FASTEST RACECAR! While McQueen is busy preparing for his race, Mater becomes involved in an hilarious adventure of his own full of spies, secret agents, villains and taking him all over the world!!! Phew!!

Check out the awesome trailer for it here:


To say the kids are excited is a gross understatement. This is going to be a true event. And, thanks to Nuffnang, our family is getting free tickets!
