A Fanlisting
A fanlisting is a group of people who like something: i.e. a group of people who like wolves. All a fanlisting is is a list of fans to do with that particular person, item, or object; it joins together people with similar interests.

Cars was Pixar's 2006 entry. A high flying race car, Lightning McQueen, is just about to win the Piston Cup despite being a rookie - until he ends up in a three way tie with this competitors. Even though a tiebreaker race is scheduled for one week later, things start going wrong for Lightning as he finds himself in the small town Radiator Springs on Route 66 after a mishap. He is charged with fixing the road before he can leave for his big race, but during that time, Lightning learns a lot more.

Why
An unpopular opinion right here: that being that Cars is my favourite Pixar film. Many disregard it but it truly is a marvel in my eyes. Lightning's character matures so much during the course of this movie; he starts off selfish and rather idiotic, but becomes a much more caring, fuller - well, person, as it were. The crowning moment of the movie is where he stops and refuses to continue with the race, and goes to help The King. That just truly shows how far he's come.

Another point is the scenery. The scenery really shines on the blu-ray and it looks magnificent; watching the research the team at Pixar did by taking the trip to Route 66 themselves is an eye opener. They really paid a lot of attention to detail, even with just the opening race, and the actual countryside itself.

Lifted from the title of a song that plays during the credits; I think it really sums up the idea the film is trying to promote as a whole, to slow down and take a look at the life around you. That sometimes you can find yourself when you least expect it.
