Good Points: Very entertaining Suitable for all the family
Bad Points: Missed some of the "adult jokes" seen in other childrens films
General comments: The animation in this film is incredible!
It's the story of a rookie car who is in the running to win the annual racing competition called "The Piston Cup". On the way to the tie-break race he gets lost, ends up in a small town and because he "chewed-up" the road he has to repair it before he can leave.
As time clicks on he starts to befriend the townsfolk - making best friends with Mater the tow truck and then falls in love with the female lawyer - a sky blue Porche 911.
He eventually goes to the race and has all his new friends cheering on.
The attention to detail in the animation is amazing - instead of vapour trails in the sky, there are tire tread trails !!! Instead of just normal flies there are mini VW beetles with wings.
So the story is engaging, the animation in fabulous, BUT the jokes I've seen in other films which go above the heads of the main audience and capture the parents, seem to be missing, but it's a minor point. My three-year-old will watch this again and again - I've seen it more times than I can remember and still amazed at some of it. We will probably watch it again this weekend. :-)
Well worth buying.

How Disney have come on since Snow White! I should say Disney Pixar. It is like you are watching real cars, with a personality of their own, with real and very beautiful scenery! These cars have expressions, emotions and feelings, each hase its own unique character. The film has an excellent storyline, one the whole family will love, even little girl ...

When my friends and I decided to go to watch Cars, I wasn't really that excited. I thought that it would probably end up being boring, especially since I have no interest in cars, not to mention this is a children's film. What probably made it great for me was the variety of funny characters. The plot was nice and predictable, like any family film.
The animation was outstanding! Most of the characterizations are based on racial and economic stereotypes, but they wouldn't work without being th ...

Cars is a very simple, yet great concept for a film. The idea of talking cars in their own little world would please any child, and yet the whole family can enjoy the film, which contains some rather funny and tense moments.
Overall, it is an enjoyable film for all ages to see.
