Wonderfully entertaining

Rating: 9/10 (27 June 2006)

A delightful animated romp made by Pixar and Disney. It is filled with talented voice performances by Owen Wilson and Paul Newman. A little slow to start, Lightning finds himself in a three-way tie with two other racers to win the coveted Piston Cup. After a comical tragedy leaving Lightning in a small town on route 66 he begins an emotional odyssey. He finds help from the locals in his search for true happiness.
It's a story with a moral that everyone can appreciate. Life in the fast lane is not everything it is cracked up to be. There are more than a few laughs sprinkled throughout the film. Fart jokes are in overdrive during an expedition to tip tractors but young children will be in the aisles. Larry the Cable Guy as the tow-truck Mater is endearing for most of the movie as the slow sidekick.
The animation is beautiful and memorizing. The viewer truly becomes sucked into this fictional world run by cars. Overall Cars is an enjoyable film with laughs both for adults and young audiences.
