Wait... Pixar did this? Not Dreamworks? Or Sony? Or Blue Sky? Or Fox? Really? It was Pixar, huh?
4	Okkervil	52 _41st
By some distance Pixar's worst movie. But that said it's not all bad. It still looks great, and it is for the most part witty and amusing. It is a shame however that the characters and the story are not up to Pixar's usual standards. A few moments of Pixar magic do shine through, but they are all to brief, as "Cars" lacks the depth and endearing emotional quality of so many other Pixar movies.
3	GordonBombay	70 _46th
Only Disney and Lasseter could have come up with this movie. The idea of the characters being cars is beyond moronic but somehow they pull it off. The mix of the douche baggedness of Lightning McQueen and the almost zenlike stupidity of Mater forms a symbiosis I can't even explain. I am however left with the a sneaking suspicion that this movie was made only for the visual gags and endless merchandising opportunities. Not a masterpiece but given the premise of talking cars it actually works.
2	doctor7	70 _52nd
Cute and funny Pixar film with excellent CGI but a bit too much of a paint by numbers plot to really impress. It's certainly not bad by any stretch but I think it's one of the weaker Pixar films because its plot is quite cliche. Still it delivers good laughs and has the trademark Pixar charm so if you've enjoyed their other films this one would be worth seeing.
2	HunterKing	70 _28th
Pixar films are always good, always get an emotional kick out of you, and always leave you completely forgetting the movie afterward. They feel scientifically derived for success, leaving out all the weird stuff that makes a fun movie
2	joseywales	75 _73rd
Love the tractor tipping scene.
2	Mr. Film	88 _67th
Some people call it Pixar's worst and least original. You know they're lying, because Pixar can't do anything wrong. And it might be a little less original than their other films, but still you get a kick out of it
2	Paxton	58 _33rd
This was the first Pixar movie I've been forced to watch (I've seen a couple of my own volition, not many) on account of my son. It's strange watching something with someone that still requires you to inform them which scenes are funny. It's like watching Mel Brooks with my wife. Or later Mel Brooks by myself. My biggest takeaway from Cars is that I still have a crush on Bonnie Hunt.

1	Ndkchk	70 _48th
Visually decent. Story was nothing spectacular, but really, Pixar's stories are rarely that unique. The problem with Cars was that it didn't have all the beautiful little touches that made Toy Story and Ratatouille so perfect. If they'd gotten rid of half the redneck (Tractor tipping? Seriously?) and polished it more, it could have been great. As it was, merely OK.
1	max22	75 _50th
It's the first Pixar movie to be good, not great; the story drags in spots (for a movie about cars, it's one of the slower animated movies out there), but the great voicework (even by Larry the Cable Guy. Seriously. Pixar, I shouldn't have doubted your decisions in that regard) will tide you over (Michael Keaton is great, but underused). It just seems like Lasseter had a world he wanted to create, more than a story he wanted to tell; luckily, the Pixar folks are gifted storytellers anyway.
1	tma1	50 _29th
On the fence on this one... It's an ok story, but in comparison to Nemo, Wall-E or UP, it is laps behind.
1	chow25	65 _47th
Not very good. At this point, Pixar is just taking strange worlds (A WORLD OF CARS!) and then cleverly making it human-like. Total pander to middle america Nascar fans, too.
1	joeroxy	70 _51st
Only started to get fun in the end. The stoned Volkwagen minivan is hilarious though.
1	Grit	39 _34th
It is full of typical Pixar charm and does a good job of representing the fully motorized world that the film takes place in, but lacks some of the inspiration of previous efforts. While it might not be quite up to releases from the rest of the Pixar bunch, it is definitely no sour grape either. An enjoyable film, with only a few flaws to mention but also one that provides nothing remarkable or memorable.
1	emtilt	57 _36th
Formulaic but competent.
1	KasperL	70 _65th
Solid and enjoyable, but it doesn't measure up to Pixar's best.
1	critickerkaw	85 _45th
A funny and cute film--not my favorite of the Disney/Pixar, but still a clever and entertaining film.
1	AnnMovie	90 _61st
Another great film from Disney/Pixar! Though not as delightful as some of the other Disney/Pixar films, there are still moments that are truly priceless!
1	bharath	70 _57th
A pleasant animation movie. Only drawback being relating to cars than humans in an animated movie.
1	icromaholicx	50 _14th
Disturbingly bad for a Pixar film.
1	XakkMaster	71 _43rd
As has been the stigma; a charming film, but along with 'A Bug's Life' it's at the bottom of Pixar's impressive resume. It's outright a kid's flick as a comedy, lacking some of the tact and maturity viewers have come to expect from these filmmakers. As an homage to NASCAR and 50s Americana, it has an overly 'sponsored' feeling about it. Cameos are forced and add nothing to the story. Thankfully, it's a visual treat and a wholesome message about friendship and loyalty are its redeeming qualities.
1	RealMacgyver	80 _78th
The weakest of the Pixar movies I've seen (all of them) but still a very good film. I think the failing is just in the script for me. too sappy, not enough funny. plus Owen Wilson is a tube. In any other studios hands I could see this being a dud. Pixar have the ability to bring life to ANYTHING, which they proved with there first short with the mom and baby lamp. You can really buy that there's a world full of cars going about their every day life. Only seen it once but there looks to be a
1	Beer94	64 _49th
I didn't find it that interesting to be honest.
1	Zozan	75 _77th
Familiar plot but still a nice watch.
1	MrCarmady	68 _14th
It's alright, doesn't deserve the hate.
1	FunkyAstro	0 _1st
Anthropomorphized stereotypes about a culture that has destroyed this planet, brought to you by a company who just wanted to sell your kids toys. I couldn't even finish it. The idea that Wall-E and this piece of shit are even in the same Pixar universe makes my want to skullfuck the cryogenically frozen head of Walt Disney.
1	chemtrails	45 _31st
Christ almighty
1	Frosty	75 _75th
Wow. A lot better than I was expecting. I'd wrote Cars off as little more than a contractual obligation but it is actually a great movie and apparently the most under rated Pixar movie. It doesn't have a high concept like Up or Wall-E and instead focuses on telling a simple story really well. Probably the best Sports movie I've seen.
1	forehead1	70 _87th
Cheesy and formulaic but steadily grows on you and is still better than most of the talking-animal animations that flood the market. As always with Pixar the visuals are impressive but it's the sound here - from roaring race engines to the delicate subtlety of tyres slowly crunching over loose gravel - that really adds to the atmosphere. Obviously made with a lot of love and attention by vehicle fanatics, even if it still fails to achieve the impossible task of making NASCAR exciting.
1	Ray	65 _55th
Entertaining, but poor for Pixar. Hey, still beats Dreamworks, right?
1	Weaselgrease	93 _77th
This was a fun idea for a film, with a nice choice of cast and some creative comedy. I only take points off for the fact that it's hard to relate to a vehicle.
1	Telemecus	82 _93rd
Loved it! Story was a copy of Doc Hollywood.
1	Matthew Parkinson (CineMarter)	40 _31st
Cars is a pretty simple movie aimed at kids. If it wasn't created by Pixar, we wouldn't be giving it a second thought, passing it off as another children's movie that doesn't really do a whole lot right or wrong, and will provide moderate entertainment to anyone that watches it. That's really all it is. It's Doc Hollywood with talking cars, and is nowhere near as interesting as that might sound. It's predictable, kind of funny, and has a point, but it lacks impact behind everything it does. [Full Review]
1	yas_lord	80 _66th
Very good
1	stevekimes	82 _58th
Not top-notch Pixar, but better than many people would assume. This is a movie about relationships and overlooking prejudices. It's a shame that people see one voice actor and tar the whole project-- sometimes without even seeing it.
1	SMP	0 _1st
So bad I couldn't bring myself to finish it.
1	Fresh	74 _45th
While the story may not reach the high standards of Toy Story and The Incredibles, viewers of all ages will marvel at the technical brilliance of the animation and come away satisfied.
1	MrMartin	67 _27th
My kids love it, I like it a good bit... even the 98th time of watching it.
1	thorn969	65 _65th
Cute. Sweet. Happy. Not the best Pixar film, but better than I expected.
1	Criteenque (Criteenque Movie Reviews)	35 _76th
Cars is a wonderful, heartwarming, inspirational film. Pixar hits a homer every time, and Cars especially has a huge heart to match its humor.
1	Alo94	92 _33rd
funny and it keeps the kids entertained.
1	magdabag	92 _85th
dad gum bitches.
1	gokcanz	86 _94th

1	Alex WS	73 _73rd
Shallow movie that gets by on its exhilarating visual style.
1	Newsome92	92 _88th
Another Disney masterpiece. Cast and characters were fantastic. Normally Owen Wilson really annoys me, but he was so good in this. So very funny and really makes you care about the characters. Visuals are stunning and the action is just unbelievable. Must see
1	PluggedIN	90 _92nd
For a film that tells such an engaging story and delivers such solid, redemptive themes, then, it's mildly disappointing to have to issue any disclaimers at all. It's as if animation rivals DreamWorks and Pixar are both suddenly trying out new middle ground. DreamWorks dialed down the content concerns in their latest release, Over the Hedge; Disney and Pixar have (ever so slightly) revved them up. (pluggedin.com)
1	wonderstruck	100 _81st
Really well done and interesting. Kept me looking for the screen during the whole movie.
1	rttntomatoes	74 _48th
While the story may not reach the high standards of Toy Story and The Incredibles, viewers of all ages will marvel at the technical brilliance of the animation and come away satisfied.
1	MacSwell	50 _24th
After six films ranging from good to outstanding, this Lasseter passion project represents Pixar's first real misfire. The story is unoriginal and the characters lack both imagination and affability, but most disappointing of all is the film's lack of any effective emotional core; it's all machine and no heart.
1	Pyrrho	55 _17th
A rare misfire from Pixar. A solid enough story lacking any of the unique charm made by earlier ventures. Feels eerily similar to the Michael J. Fox film Doc Hollywood.
1	JMac525	85 _67th
Cars is not the strongest of the Pixar creations, but it is still a great family film and introduction to the world of racing to kids.
1	TBW	80 _90th
Middle of the pack of the Pixar movies for me, which means really good!
1	kereminho	85 _68th
I feel high emotions when i watching this movie.
1	EvilMangoes	86 _62nd
B+
1	madwurmz	90 _40th
The visuals are very sharp, very convincing and immersive.
1	kito1	90 _97th
I hate kids movies, but this one is so decent with its message and so beautiful with its style.
1	shinySinger	46 _17th
we dont talk about this one
