Lightning McQueen, a hotshot rookie race car driven to succeed, discovers that life is about the journey, not the finish line, when he finds himself unexpectedly detoured in the sleepy Route 66 town of Radiator Springs. On route across the country to the big Piston Cup Championship in California to compete against two seasoned pros, McQueen gets to know the town's offbeat characters--including Sally, a snazzy 2002 Porsche, Doc Hudson, a 1951 Hudson Hornet with a mysterious past, and Mater, a rusty but trusty tow truck, who help him realize that there are more important things than trophies, fame and sponsorship.

Great movie - Cars Reviews
While I will agree with other reviewers that Cars lacks the punch of say Monsters Inc of The Incredibles, in its own merits Cars is still a great movie. The visuals, in my opinion, exceed anything else either Pixar or any other studio has ever done. The voices are well done, particularly Owen Wilson. And while the movie takes a while to get a few laughs, they eventually start rolling towards the middle to end of the film. There are so many subtle jokes, particularly in the sequences in the stadiums, thatyou have to see twice to appreciate. Something that probably took months to animate is simply shown for a split second. Perhaps they could have developed some of these jokes for a few more laughs. Otherwise, this movie is enjoyable for all ages and any Pixar fan will go home smiling.
