Talking cars rediscover the quirky originality of middle America in this inventive animated film from the folks at Pixar (TOY STORY, FINDING NEMO). Owen Wilson does the voice of arrogant rookie racecar Lightning McQueen, who winds up stranded in the small desert town of Radiator Springs on his way west to a big showdown. Sentenced to community service after literally tearing up the road in a high-speed chase, at first all Lightning can think of is getting back to the world of corporate sponsorship and merchandising tie-ins he loves so well. Eventually, however, the eccentric residents of Radiator Springs begin to grow on him, especially the attractive lady Porsche lawyer (Bonnie Hunt) and a rusty old tow-truck (Larry the Cable Guy). There's also a hippie Volkswagen (George Carlin), a low-riding T-bird (Cheech Martin) and Paul Newman as the gruff, curmudgeonly Doc Hudson, the town judge who harbors his own checkered-flag past.

The voice-cast is given a lift by Paul Newman, whose deep tones dignify his character....Its eye-boggling giant stadiums and desert vistas fill the biggest cinema screen
As a technical achievement, CARS is peerless....[The cars] are alive and the team has faithfully crafted an environment for the characters
Animation about a race car called Lightning McQueen. On his way to his final race he crashes through Radiator Springs and is forced to repair the damage. Lightning learns about respect and friendship during his unscheduled stay and changes his 'cocky' attitude before being allowed to continue to the deciding race of the Piston Cup.
Visually beautiful and characters to fall in love with. Enjoy the ride!
This is so funny. Like all good cartoons there are lots of jokes for the adults as well as the kids. My boyfriend and I loved it, and my friends two year old son enjoyed all the cars. He spent most of the film making car engine sounds!
