Cars Review Summary

Like the song says, "Life Is a Highway." Cars, "an animated comedy about a race car" utilizes the vocal talents of some pretty big names, such as Owen Wilson and Paul Newman. This Pixar film is a favorite of Viewpoints reviewers' kids. From the same people behind Finding Nemo and Toy Story, parents enjoy the message of Cars, one of friendship and believing in yourself. There's something for the adults as well, as there is included humor that only they would get, as well as a great soundtrack. Overall, Cars is "not just for young Gearheads."

Each year, an animated movie or two is released to a large number of theaters and each year, at least one of these releases turns into a critically acclaimed box office hit. The movie from 2006 that holds this honor is Cars, an animated comedy about a race car and his interaction with the other cars in a small western town. — Contents of This Movie: — — Lightening McQueen (voice by Owen Wilson) is a champion race car who just finished his first big race against two of his fiercest rivals- Chick Hicks (voice by Michael Keaton) and The King (voice by Richard… read full review »

Intro — Living in a house with a 44-year-old self-described “Gearhead”, and a 13-year-old that is very much the same, I don't know quite how we made it this far without seeing the Pixar film Cars. Getting rather bored with the offerings lately on Starz on Saturday night, I decided to look for something on Pay-Per-View, and Cars was the only thing rated PG or lower that my kids hadn't already seen. — — Plot — The film revolves around a rookie car, Lightning McQueen (voiced by Owen Wilson), in a fictional stock car race. He's so self-assured, he fires… read full review »

We bought Pixar Cars for my then 2 year old son last Christmas. We had not seen it but had heard alot of good things about it and enjoyed the previews we had seen. The children, ages 5 and under seemed interested in it, so we purchased it as a Christmas gift. They didn't want to finish opening the rest of their gifts, they just wanted to watch the movie! — Over the past year, they have watched it several times a month. If a friend comes over, Cars is requested. We have purchased other children's movies since then, but Cars is always the top pick over any other movie we have. They'll… read full review »

This is one of my personal favorite movies of all time. I have watched it 100 times with my son because it is his favorite movie as well. I never get tired of it. The lesson is wonderful making it perfect for children because it is enjoyable and character building (something that you don't get much of with some children's movies). The characters are enjoyable and the details (look at the mountains in radiator springs) are admirable! 100… read full review »

My son is only 3 but definately a gearhead. I bought this movie for him when it first came out and it has been his favorite ever since. Everything in his life is now influenced by the cars movie. He knows all the character cars by name. The only problem is that it is addictive to cars fanatics.… read full review »

From the makers of Toy Story,Toy Story 2, Finding Nemo and The Incredibles, Cars is a Disney Pixar animated movie but do not let that stop you from going to see it. It has a great message and features a lot of talented actors lending their voices to the animated characters. Owen Wilson is Lightning McQueen(Rookie RaceCar), Larry the Cable Guy is Mater(TowTruck), John Ratzenberger is Mack(18 Wheeler Truck), Paul Newman is Doc Hudson(1951 Hudson Hornet Car), Richard Petty is The King(Plymouth Superbird Racecar), Bonnie Hunt is Sally(Porsche), Cheech Marin is Ramone(Chevy Impala… read full review »

This story mainly tells about an egotistical Lightening McQueen who one night while traveling to a tie-breaking game crashes and finds himself in Radiator Springs. — — The cars in Radiator Springs don't take to well to McQueen and he sure does not like being there either.  After awhile he makes friends with them and falls in love with Sally. — — Does Lightening McQueen stay egotistical or does he find himself to be a better car? — The animation in this movie is awesome.  The way that Pixar defined each car as its own unique personality… read full review »

This movie was fun to watch in theaters, but it will likely be a kids' classic to be seen at home for all time. We made it our bedtime show for several weeks, and when we moved on to something else, I missed 'my' characters after a while. Although the movie premiered in 2006, there are still plenty of toys, clothing, birthday party theme accessories, and other Cars items that you can buy for the child who loves this movie today. My husband and I both find it entertaining and will probably always keep a copy of it in our house....even when the little ones are big. —… read full review »

I love this movie.  It is my 2 year old nephew's favorite movie, so I knew I had to see it.  I am 29 years old so I was a little skeptical about how entertaining it was going top be, but I was wrong.  This movie is get for all ages, with little bpieces of humor that only adults would get.  Great music also.  I highly recommend that the family sit down and watch this film together.  Two thumbs… read full review »

My children insist on watching this movie at least 5 times a day.  At least it is entertaining enough for me to watch with them.  I love the sound track of this movie, my children dance around to it and ask me to play it again and again.  They can not get enough of Mater and the funny things he does.  I have twin boys and it is good to find a movie they both want to… read full review »

If your looking for a new toy/toys idea for your children, Then you gotta check out Disney Pixar Cars. It is an excellent movie that children off all ages love and the selection of toys and characters is beyond vast. With over 50 characters to learn it has helped both my 2 and 3 year olds with learning, speach, and memory. Can't wait for the next movie to come… read full review »
