Another Pixar film gets the Blu-ray high definition treatment.
But does Cars deserve another viewing?
To callCarsthe first Pixar film to flop is bizarre.
At the time of writing, its the ninth most successful film ever at the American box office.
Some failure that is.
The problem is that the middle third, where McQueen undergoes his transformation into not-a-bad-motor-actually is flabby and prolonged.
It also, and its hard to remember thinking this of a Pixar film before borderline dull.
But why in a film about fast moving racing cars everything stops still for so long is a mystery.
The audio workout is aggressive, too.
The 5.1 surround track lacks any compression and is packed with a lot of punch.
Some forced adverts too, which are always an irritation.
Its a film with some smashing moments, albeit one badly in need of some trimming.
However, as a top-end high definition workout, its very, very hard to complain.
