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.

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.

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.

Cars is Pixar's most improbable success to date, a film that could easily have misfired, but somehow does not.

Sacramento News & Review

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.

There's a lot of heart and soul--complemented by some of the most eye-popping visuals the computer-animation pioneer has ever devised.

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.

In Cars Pixar has come up with a strong story, beautiful images, intriguing themes, and endearing characters.

This isn't a bad story, but it's a bit hokey, and not nearly as imaginative as Pixar's previous triumphs.

There's sure to be a dud somewhere in its future, but right now, the Disney/Pixar combination is the film industry's only sure-fire, guar-an-teed, git-'er-done hitmaker.

An average Pixar movie remains markedly better than the best from any other animation studio.

Empire Magazine

Judged against previous form, this is not Pixar firing on all cylinders, lacking the sophisticated comedy we've come to expect. Judged against fare from other studios, however, it's a triumph.

A movie that's as much about racing as Titanic was about a luxury liner crossing the Atlantic.

Básicamente es la historia animada de anécdotas que ya hemos visto en el cine, especialmente en cintas como Un Paseo por las Nubes o la mismísima Doc Hollywood de 1991.
