Reviews for Cars
Pixar's grown so metallic that having automobiles for animated characters becomes disturbingly apt
08/30/09
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.
06/06/09
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.

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.

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.
04/08/07
There's a lot of heart and soul--complemented by some of the most eye-popping visuals the computer-animation pioneer has ever devised.
02/22/07
Cars is not Pixar at its very best but it's immaculately drawn, full of surprises and beautifully voiced. It also moves at an astonishing speed.

Rips off Doc Hollywood, almost note for note.

Top CriticBeautifully animated, and the story is great.
11/30/06
In Cars Pixar has come up with a strong story, beautiful images, intriguing themes, and endearing characters.
11/07/06
This isn't a bad story, but it's a bit hokey, and not nearly as imaginative as Pixar's previous triumphs.
09/11/06
Often veers over the central line between watchable and disappointing.
08/31/06
n this day of skyrocketing gas prices, when going out for a drive has become a frivolous luxury, this car-culture film could be a cute reminder of days past%u2014a fun historical reference for the kids%u2014sort of like Disney's Dinosaur.
