Rating: 7/10 (2 August 2006)

Cars, is the high speed story of racing rookie Lightning McQueen (Owen Wilson) and his dream of winning the Piston Cup. En route to the championship McQueen gets lost and finds himself in the run down town of Radiator Springs. He thinks he's in hillbilly hell when meets the offbeat characters but soon begins to learn the values of friendship, trust, loyalty and teamwork that hold this town together. McQueen grows warm to these characters and realises that there's more to life than fame, fortune and the fast lane. For the motoring maniacs out there cameo roles include Mario Andretti, Richard Petty and the Formula One champion Michael Schumacher as well as Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson. However this film is not just for 'petrol heads'. With an all star voice cast including the Hollywood legend Paul Newman, amazing Pixar animation, endearing characters and a heart-warming story Cars is a must see movie for the whole family.
