Cars | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Steven D. Greydanus Decent Films Cars is Pixar's most improbable success to date, a film that could easily have misfired, but somehow does not. Rated: B+ Oct 29, 2008 Full Review Cars | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Christy Lemire Denver Rocky Mountain News Rips off Doc Hollywood, almost note for note. Rated: C+ Dec 14, 2006 Full Review Cars | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Peter Bradshaw Guardian Smooth, but bland and forgettable. Rated: 2/5 Jul 29, 2006 Full Review Cars | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Cory Woodroof For the Win (USA Today) It’s a deceptively simple film that plays with more profundity as you get older and appreciate its themes more. Mar 1, 2024 Full Review Cars | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review This is a very good piece of animation, but given the source, it’s not unreasonable to expect better. Rated: 3/4 Mar 29, 2023 Full Review Cars | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Mat Brunet AniMat's Review (YouTube) No pun intended, but Cars is a prominent example of a middle-of-the-road animated feature. Rated: 7/10 Feb 10, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/18/22 Full Review Audience Member I am rewatching the cars series again and I think cars is a great series to watch with all the family or alone,there is something about Disney movies that hit differently,well they are Pixar movies but whatever haha,we live in a crazy world where Disney wants to monoplise on all of the entertainment possible haha,but cars is a funny and heart warming movie Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/04/24 Full Review Artur S This film in my opinion, is not that good. It is literally just a movie about cars. Though I enjoyed it and how McQueen learns to be respectful and helps the blue car at the end. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/02/24 Full Review Kim C Cannot recommend this movie enough, especially for the little ones. Full of colour and very humerous characters. The soundtrack is very catchy and the storyline is really well written. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/31/24 Full Review Jayden N Great movie, one of the must see movies as a child.
