The Little Cars 1

Video Brinquedo. You will be hearing that name a loooong time on my blog. It's an Brazilian animation studios, with animation hits like: Ratatoing, What's Up: Balloon to the Rescue, Chop Kick Panda and Little Cars. Crappy animation, 4Kids voice actors and super original stories. (I mean: come on! Talking cars! That's never done before!)  Here is my first Video Brinquedo review: The Little Cars 1 (Yes, there are 9 more of them): The Great Race!

Pixar was doing really wel with their new movie ''Cars''. A nice and lovable story about a talking racing car. So, this is Video Brinquedo's answer to it. The story: There is some annually race, and a car named Tony (Lightning McQueen) won the race 8 years in a row. So, when he's about to lose, he has to ask his friends Pokey, who's addicted to money, (Mater) and Coupe (Sally) for help.

Let's first talk about the animation. The only thing I can say about it, is ''WHY???''. You know what I said about the Playstation 1 in the FoodFight review? This is even worse. The only thing that moves are their mouths. The character designs are also very cheap. Tony is the main character, so he's number 1, and full of flames. Pokey is just the same as Mater, only with another color and a lamp on his head. And Coupe is a girl, so she's pink. DONE!
 
The story is easy, but I'm sure it'll keep your little nephew or brother quiet for half an hour. If your little brother loves Cars, he probably take this as well. It has flashing colors, a simple story and characters that are easy comparable to the normal Cars-characters.  But if he has more than 10 braincells, even he would understand this is trash.


The biggest problem is: the movie is only 35 minutes. No, I have to say it better: The story is 15 minutes, the stupid gags and character introduction are 20 minutes. If you wanted to introduce your characters, why not make a special little movie for it? But that's just me.

So my conclusion: The Little Cars is a perfect example for Video Brinquedo's movies. A stupid and thin plot, characters who are almost the same as the original movies, terrible animation and horrible voice-acting. I guess this movie was created for parents of little-Cars fan who couldn't afford the real thing, so who find this a great alternative. But parents, please. Look at what your kids are watching. There are freaking 8 movies, 2 specials, a PC-game AND EVEN A FRIKKIN MUSICAL of this sh*t. Sigh.
