Wheely

As a car enthusiast I will pretty much watch anything related to cars, good or bad. This falls into the latter category. As a Cars fan, this was a cheap knock-off. If you don't take my advice and watch it, as the film proceeds you start feeling the familiarity. Even one of the main characters Put Put is very close to tow mater, buck teeth, gets the main character into trouble, and is a bit dumb. Sounds familiar right? They spent so much money on the animation and forgot to get a unique story. What a waste of time and money. Overall 2/10 I wouldn't recommend watching this film.

Went there with kids (5 and 9) and wanted to see a nice film for them. even the small one (with not so high expectations) was completely dissapointed and saw the 'chinese' copy of Cars.

Ok, so all user reviews are in the extreme negative, & some lazy journalism has the description as a complete rip-off of Cars.

Actually, it's not. Yes, main character Wheely is a racing car, & a bit cocky, & his eventual sidekick, Putt Putt (who IS very annoying), is a tad Mater-esque, but the storyline is not the same in the slightest.

Wheely is a cocky racing car, but has his career ended by an accident. With no parts available to properly repair his damage, he becomes a taxi. Down on his luck, being targeted by a dumb cop car, he seems to finally catch a break when meets the car/girl of his dreams. However, she gets targeted by an evil truck who runs a luxury car-napping organisation, & some little element of fun ensues as he attempts to get her back.

The character design is not a rip-off of Cars, as some have stated. The faces/eye positions are different, & designs are more exaggerated than the realistic armory of Pixar automobiles. These actually reminded me more of the cars in the Roary The Racing Car series.

The main issues for me are the voices & some of the animation. Vocally, Wheely & Putt Putt & the cop are very annoying, & others are way over the top/over exaggerated.

Animation-wise some of the art is actually not bad in places, not quite Pixar/Dreamworks standard, but not as bad as described.

There are certainly some deficiencies, but not everyone has Disney level financial backing. The lack of background activity, once noticed, is where you notice that they have cut corners, & for some reason, makes scenes feel slow & labored(along with that voice acting again), & some scenes look unfinished.

Some characters & scenes are scarier than the G rating this has, & a few darker moments would take this to a mild PG for me.

I've seen this a few times more than I would've liked, as my lil boy is a car nut, & loves most movies/series with 4 wheeled vehicles, but I don't think this quite deserves the level of abuse it has.

Others should check out the 'Cars Life' series for the epitome of animation awfulness (or not).

The overall film is not the worst that I have ever seen and I would say in certain areas the film is quiet good.

The plot is slightly reminiscent of Cars 3 but not a direct copy like what some are trying to portray this as. The voice acting is to a good standard and nothing too bad can be said about it, maybe besides the terrible terrible impression of an English accent, even if it is being done in jest.

I couldn't recommend this film as something that someone needs to watch bit if there is absolutely nothing else on this would be a nice way to kill an hour and a half so there is that.

Overall not bad not good just Wheely mediocre.

I am an Asian. The reason I chose to watch this movie at the theater is because I want to know how Asian animation is developing. And I was really disappointed when I finished watching this movie.

Except the animation, the rest is too bad. This may be the worst animation film I saw this year, although there are films that are not good like The Grinch or Ploey (Iceland). The plot is a mess, confusing and troublesome. The director was too greedy to put too many story lines in 1h30m . Humor = 0 and this is a ripoff of Pixar Cars at the upper level. Discrete film plot. The film has tons of characters, but any character does not do well. I know this is one of Malaysia's most expensive animated films. But unfortunately, a good film doesn't mean a high-budget film, it seems that this film burns money for fun.

Don't waste your time watching this movie. The Emoji Movie is much better than this. Trust me.
