Review of Mater's Tall Tales

Good for very little kids as it is based on the same titled Disney picture book. A bit repetitive. I saw it on "Starz" (Disney) and kids don't like to sit thru even short front and end titles, which every segment has. Maybe they "blended" it all together on the video? (Probably not.) Tow-Mater spins a series of improbable tall tales including him as a doctor, rock star, airplane pilot,etc. He has a "close encounter" with a friendly flying saucer. All as "Tow Mater" the scruffy tow truck with a Southern "drawl" and buck teeth. Typical "Pixar" computer animation, even though it's not made by the original California studio. Best viewed in chapters, as running it all at once overwhelmed (and bored) a little 4-year-old. (It would be like running a "Looney Tunes" marathon, even though it's a mere 38 minutes long.) I think I like it better than the kid does!
