Family Activites: Cars 2 The Movie Review & Giveaway
Today, the event little boys and girls everywhere have been waiting for arrives. The opening of Cars 2!!
The Architect, Miss Bliss, Little Bear and I headed off to Hoyts Victoria Gardens on Sunday for a special preview screening of Cars 2, courtesy of Disney.
The Architect and I really enjoyed the movie! It’s light and clever – lots of jokes in there to appeal to the adults in the audience. It’s your classic action flick – fast cars, babes, machine guns, explosions, a cute lesson at the end and the 21st century edge…sustainable energry! At first the climate change angle surprised us as it seems such an adult theme, but it’s actually perfect for primary school aged children for whom the earth and environment is a key learning area.
It’s a very different film to the first one but it’s lots of fun! Though it’s definitely a movie-dream for boys it’s got wide appeal that doesn’t limit to a “boys only”.
For those wanting a more techy/blokey review this is what The Architect had to say…
“Excellent animation! It was the first movie I’ve seen in 3D that actually made artful use of the 3D technology – it was integral to the story and the overall art direction of the film, which made it enjoyable rather than a distraction. It looked to me that they’ve learnt a lot from game design rather than cinema direction.”
Miss Bliss loved the experience of being at the movies but to be honest, was too young to really “get” the plot…her current fixations on all things “Princess” probably didn’t help.

Childrens movies so often seemed aimed at girls it great cars really appeals to boys and is funny too.
Cars 1 was the ultimate thing for our son for over a year – sounds like 2 will be fantastic for him too. My husband and I are super keen to see it too – we loved the comedy and wit in the first.
I love that these films are aimed at all of my children, Mr 11 gets a giggle out of them, Miss 5 loves them, Mr 3 is obsessed with cars atm and Mr 11 months well he is too young to really care but loves to drive cars along the floor (and eat them) and talks to the television when the ads come on for this one.
I’m off to share on twitter
Oh my boy would love this, so would my purse
I love Cars because I like to have a laugh and I like stories with happy endings and I also like it because my eldest girl does too! What is not to like about that :)
I love cars for a couple of reasons. The fact that the cars are cute, funny and most off all, I like cars because when the DVD is on, there is peace and quiet in the house. Thanks for the chance to win the movie tickets.
both our littles want to see this movie during the school holidays x
My daughter (3) is a very girly girl (all things princess/fairy/pink) but likes Cars – and knows that Cars 2 is on at the movies, so would love to win a pass to take her and her almost 2-year-old sister who loves anything her big sister loves!
