The best children's films: 'Cars 2'

For some years now the films that have been released since the factory Pixar They have touched a very high level. Not only in terms of a very successful digital animation, where Pixar technically reaches a perfection and a level well above other producers, but also in terms of stories. The recent great successes of recent animated films have the unmistakable Pixar seal.

Although we cannot forget that it is also a movie Disney and entails abundant publicity, so that few children do not know the fast Lightning MCQUEEN or to his inseparable friend the ramshackle crane Mate.

Precisely in 'Cars 2', a production that premiered last summer of 2011, the real protagonist is Mate. And it's not that Lightning doesn't have enough hook. In fact it is the image that identifies this saga, which began in 2006 with 'Cars', the first part, but in this new story that recovers a plot with friendship and self-improvement values, the Mate crane becomes the star.

'Cars 2', we like it because…

To provide more spectacular to the game that allows a car competition like the ones that the fast and kind Rayo McQueen usually participates, in this second part its protagonists travel to various parts of the world. Thus, we find that Lightning participates in the World Grand Prix, organized by a tycoon whose purpose is to test the invention of a new, greener fuel, in cities in Japan, Italy (in the imaginary Porto Corsa), Paris or London.

Through a parallel plot, we meet new characters, in this case the brave spy Finn McMissile and the modern Holley Shiftwell, who with his technology helps the spy mission that unfolds around the World Grand Prix.

A championship in which Lightning McQueen participates with his entire Radiator Springs team (Sally, Luigi, Guido ...). And in this spy story, in the purest style of James Bond, the innocent and kind Tom Mate becomes the center of attention of both the villains, and the spy team headed by Finn, in the purest 007 style.

Values ​​transmitted by 'Cars 2'

In this second part, the bonds of friendship that were forged in the first. Even taking them one step further, putting them to the test, in which both Ray and Mate distance themselves, to end up assessing that friendship is above any individual purpose. They have a great time together and become inseparable.

In addition, in 'Cars 2' we run into a plot of spies that fills the history of action scenes, fast-paced, which are complemented with the scenes of the competition with Lightning McQueen. Altogether, it is a vibrant story and in which the smallest ones will surely not blink.

In addition, we must highlight that subplot with the villain Sir Miles Axlerod and his fuel, which highlights the lack of oil, the need to seek alternative energy and in which cars have a lot to do. It is not a story that reaches the smallest, but it is included with enough subtlety so that at least, even in broad strokes, the values ​​of the ecology Be present with Lightning and Matte.

Finally, Mate gives us a lesson in kindness, with his innocence he manages to overcome obstacles and uncover the villain in the outcome, demonstrating his bravery and good heart.

Recommended from 2-3 years

As in all Pixar movies, we find different plot levels, from the most elementary of understanding to more complex ones (especially for adults who know how to extract all the values ​​that underlie the story). So, from the youngest children who are already able to watch a complete movie without losing too much attention, even the oldest, they will be able to enjoy. That a great value that has 'Cars 2'.

And I guarantee it to you, since after a first viewing in which I was not very excited, my younger son (who when he first saw her was not yet three years old) struck him. So much so that it became the DVD movie that was most often seen at home.

And the thrill of Rayo McQueen's careers and appearances and then the frantic action adventures with Mate captivate the little ones (besides, of course, the humor and fun that are not lacking). Although, as I say, older children, from three to six years old, can entertain themselves a lot and extract details, depending on their ability, enjoying with the same intensity.

It is a highly recommended film and especially after several views, in which he earns a lot. At first, everything seemed to indicate that it was a production of Disney / Pixar to recover the characters and cram merchandisingbut the truth is that the movie is very exciting, technically at the summit, and very enjoyable as a family. Of course recommended viewing on Blu-ray, those with high definition player, because the domestic edition is of high quality.
