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.

Outstanding - Cars Reviews
Pixar has done it again with this amazing picture about a race car suddenly thrown into a backwater Route 66 town. Owen Wilson does a tepid job as portraying the main character, "Lightning McQueen." Larry the Cable Guy reduces audiences of all ages to hysteric laughter with his character, the hickish "Mater." The jokes in this story are usually hysterical, except for some told by the main character, which can be described as dry at best. The cinematography of Historic Route 66 and the Los Angeles Motor Speedway is beautiful and very realistic for the Pixar animation. This film is fun for all ages and, as is Pixar's trademark, delivers an excellent life lesson to both young and old.
