Tweekums In alternate reality the world is much like ours but there are no people; instead there are sentient vehicles! This film tells the story of Lightning McQueen; an arrogant race car who is challenging to be the first car to will the prestigious Piston Cup in his rookie year. He throws away a clear victory after ignoring the advice of his pit crew and is involved in a three way tie with the current champ and his long-time rival. To decide the winner there will be a three car race in California in a week's time. Wanting to get there first Lightning pushes his support truck to drive through the night despite his exhaustion. A run in with some street racers leaves Lightning on the road with no idea where he is. He leaves the interstate, gets more lost and as he speeds along the old Route 66 is chased by the police; this leads to a crash and his arrest in the town of Radiator Springs. Here is told he must help fix the road before he can leave. As one might expect he is not happy with this but gradually befriends the locals and learns a lot about how to treat others; he also falls for a Porsche and experiences the joys of just driving. Naturally these lessons will help him in the big race but will he win?Having watched and enjoyed most Pixar films I put of watching any of the 'Cars' films as I'd heard they were a little disappointing; having watched the first I can say it turned out better than expected. It opens well enough with some exciting race scenes. There are some problems with such an arrogant protagonist even if most viewers will appreciate that he has to be flawed if we are to get the character development and life-lessons later on. The film picks up once Lightning gets to Radiator Springs and we meet a variety of interesting characters. The most notable of these are Matey, a rusty old breakdown truck; Sally, the love-interest Porsche and Doc Hudson; an old race car who keeps quiet about his past. There are also fun side characters such as the Italian Fiat 500 who is obsessed with Ferraris and a hippy VW camper. The story contains some fun action scenes and some good laughs before the final race which enables Lightning to show everybody what he learnt; both about racing and about both accepting help and helping others himself. Overall I'd say that this certainly isn't among Pixar's best films it is still a lot fun; Pixar has still not disappointed me.

Will Curtin Cars was the first ever movie i saw in cinemas. and i loved it, i am surprised that the movie only got a 7.1 because to me i would think it would be in the 8's with all the other classic movies like toy story, the lion king, inside out and the Incredibles. lightning McQueen is a character everyone knows, the movie shows that everyone looks up to him as the cool guy, but really his just some selfish guy with no friends. lighting gets shown the meaning of friendship. and gets shown good sportsmanship which you will see at the end of the movie

frankjones-84156 Okay, so Cars is not Pixar's best movie and it has been out shot by other movies they've created: Finding Nemo, Toy Story, Monsters Inc. This movie was really enjoyable and I really liked a lot of the scenes in it. Especially the drifting scene because that's what Cars do, right? The characters were also a lot of fun and the racing scenes were really entertaining. Although a lot of people think it's one of the weakest Pixar movies, I thought it was a really fun ride and definitely one that you can sit and watch.

Davis P Pixar's Cars (2006) truly is an excellent film did everyone to watch and enjoy. The writing is funny, creative, heartwarming at times. And the cast chosen to voice the characters was very well chosen. Owen Wilson is perfect for the voice of lighting McQueen. And Bonnie Hunt was a great fit too. The chemistry between the characters was very sweet and intimate, made you value the characters and the the relationships they held with others. And just let me say that who else could play ToMator soooo perfectly other than Larry the Cable Guy?? I'm not a fan of Larry personally, but he was the PERFECT choice to voice his Redneck down to earth hilarious character. This movie really has all you could ever ask for from a film of this kind. Well written/times humor in the right places, sentimental value, a tad bit of romance, quality dialogue, and great fitting actors to voice the animated characters. I totally suggest giving this animated gem a watch. It'll give you that warm fuzzy feeling with a side of laughs. 9/10 for Cars.
