A pedal-to-the-metal race car determined to prove his worth on the tracks discovers that life isn't always about crossing the finish line first in Toy Story director John Lasseter's mechanically minded tale of friendship and loyalty. Lightning McQueen (voice of Owen Wilson) may be just a rookie, but he's convinced that he can realize his dream of zooming by the checkered flag if he can only make it to California in time to compete in the upcoming Piston Cup Championship. When Lightning takes a

Rips off Doc Hollywood, almost note for note.
Along came the interstate, apparently, and ruined everything. Just like that darned Internet, I guess, or that superhighway stuff, or those dumb movies they make with computers nowadays.
Cars might get us into car world as a gimmick, but it doesn't get us into car world as a state of mind. Thus, the animation, rather than seeming like an expression of the movie's deeper truth, becomes an impediment to it.
Cars made me want to hop in my jalopy and to head out to Route 66, bypassing the boring interstate highways that made the Mother Road redundant.
It's beautiful to look at. The talking cars feel more alive than talking cars should.
It's another innovative piece of entertainment from the animation studio, taking the audience on a kinetic trip into a world populated only by automobiles.
Cars is a nice homily to small town life and remembering the past - which definitely has its charms - and call for remembering our roots, but it's been done better elsewhere.
Pixar's latest visual stunner with a heart of gold honors our obsession with the automobile. Although it will make many nostalgic for the open road, especially the historic Route 66, the kids might get a little bored with this one.
Pixar's grown so metallic that having automobiles for animated characters becomes disturbingly apt
Although the plot coasts along a predictable path, the verbal jokes and sight gags rev things up along the way, making the film enjoyable almost from start to finish.
I've never seen a Pixar film so void of magic, and originality before...
Owen Wilson's infectious good-natured energy permeates Pixar's light-hearted animated movie about "Lightning McQueen" a rookie competition race car that discovers there's more to life than winning races.
This noisy animated paean to NASCAR and Route 66 gets mired in the middle laps on a grippy track.
Cars is Pixar's most improbable success to date, a film that could easily have misfired, but somehow does not.
Here it is, another masterpiece from director John Lasseter and his fellow geniuses at Pixar Animation Studios, once again raising the bar out of reach of everyone but themselves.
Pixar comedy is full of four-wheeled fun.
Despite its technical accomplishments, Cars feels less Formula One than Ford Fiesta.
One of these days, the magicians at Pixar will make a bad movie%u2013or even a mediocre one%u2013but it hasn't happened yet.
The rote melancholy song by Randy Newman evokes more laughter than compassion.
It's never a good sign when the funniest, most entertaining part of a movie are the closing credits.
O ano de 2006 constatou a realização de uma previsão feita por analistas e fãs desde o início da década: a saturação do mercado de animação. Devido aos imensos sucessos dos filmes da Pixar e o fenômeno de certo ogro verde, diversos estúdios colocaram em produção uma série de animados digitais, esperando receberem sua

Pixar has made a record for the best animated movies ever, this one wasnt good for me. Racecar Lightning Mcqueen (Owen Wilson) is a self centered racing star, and on his trip to California for a big race he is lost on Route 66 and accidentaly destroys the road of a ghost town called Radiator Springs. At first he
