A Disney Attraction Review: Lights. Motors, Action 8 out of 10


Lights, Motors, Action  Extreme Stunt Show

While at Disney Studios we went to see the Lights, Motor Action stunt show which is a basically a stunt show featuring cars.  I had never seen this before (I think it opened right after my last visit to the parks)



It was interesting to see something other than the typical fall off of the top of the building stunts -but there is really only so much you can do with cars in such a small setting.  I like that they were able to show you how the stunts they shot were able to be edited into the exciting scenes you see in the movies and give you a look at how some of the cool stunts were done.


Herbie the Love Bug step aside as the fan favorite car of boys these days is Lightning McQueen.  They had a cool life size version in as a small part of the show. Which the audience really responded to.



After Lightning left it was back to the action in more car chases.  This stunt show has a lot of testosterone and I think it is a safe bet that if you are a car person you will enjoy this show.   



A stuntman on fire is always exciting



 There were motor cycle jumps


The jet ski scene I could have done without....(It gave me flashbacks of Universal's lackluster Waterworld show)







The finale scene was really great and luckily I was able to get a picture just as the car was going through the flames

Disney/Pixar Animated Short Reviews: #13 Time Travel Mater 2012


Time Travel Mater  2012   6 out of 10

In this Cars Toon in the Mater's Tall Tales series of shorts Mater travels back in time and we get to see how Radiator Springs came to be.  It was a cute cartoon --but nothing special when compared to many other better Pixar shorts.  It features Mater having to make sure that Stanley (the founder of Radiator Springs actually starts it up in the first place, since Mater accidentally keeps that from happening at first.     It works best as an introduction to Carsland in Disney's California Adventure as it is a good back story for the things you see in Radiator Springs.  

This short can be found on the Pixar Animated Shorts Volume 2 DVD set.....This concludes all the featured shorts from that DVD. in future installments we will cover Pixar shorts Volume 1  which is a great set of animated shorts as well as starting to dig into older Disney cartoons after that.

DCA that is no more Part 5: Cars before they had a land


Before they got their own land Mater and McQueen were just a pre-parade promo for the original movie.  Here are a few photos I dug out of an old photo book of Mater and Lightning driving through the streets of DCA
