I can't overdo it on this movie. After much thought, I'm giving it 4 stars, but I may change it to 3 someday. It's definitely excellent, but something still doesn't feel right. I apologize for the brief and uncontemplated comment.

I've been getting quite tired of Nicolas Cage lately – he was a cold-hearted badass again. As to the movie... there was a lot of blood, again. I liked the beautiful cars though, and the truly gorgeous Amber Heard. Fichtner didn't disappoint... but yeah, nice... just not for Cage.

Amazing how cars can express feelings! I’m missing the point, but the whole thing was so cute I can't help but give it 4 stars.

The stories fit together nicely... just too much dark humor for one dog. And not enough cuteness.

This episode is more overt than catastrophic. And some viewers may not like that. There are few explosions and falls and rolls... but I still like it a lot.

Pat and Mat as a series would of course have 5 stars from me without hesitation. Moving falls a little short compared to the other episodes though, hence only 4 stars.

Very funny, imaginative, and watchable. The music does an awful lot here. This is one of the best.

Pretty magical... it was less than 5 minutes long, but I had a better feeling than I often have after watching a two-hour blockbuster.

This is my absolute favorite Pixar short. Really brilliant idea with the clouds that make babies and puppies. When suddenly a sad cloud appears who produces hedgehogs, sharks, and alligators. But luckily he has a loyal stork who will do everything he can to deliver the baby... touching, beautiful, amazing.

Nice animation, nice country music, quite nice narration... a bit of weak payoff, but still 4 stars.
