What to Know

Critics Consensus

Cars 3 has an unexpectedly poignant story to go with its dazzling animation, suggesting Pixar's most middle-of-the-road franchise may have a surprising amount of tread left.

Cars 3 is a decent reconstituted Rocky with a bizarre faux feminist subplot and beautiful animation. Go to Full Review

3/5
Cars 3, which picks up where the first, perfectly adequate, film left off, is by far the best instalment in the series. Go to Full Review

It's a colourful, spry enough ride, but it doesn't exactly reinvent the wheel. Go to Full Review

When that heart gear hits, all of the repetitiveness washes away to a satisfying series of smiles that you’re going to have a hard time wiping off of your face. Go to Full Review

Julian 09/21/2024 informative but boring See more Andre T. @andrestuckmannmoviereviews 5d It was ok, I didn’t have any boring moments except for the first half of this film but I like Jackson storm as a character who kinda shows a motivation to be next gen race so Lighting McQueen is getting old which means that he has to upgrade himself and make himself faster to beat storm, we have Cruz Ramirez which probably have to be one of my favorites in the movie that shows lightning McQueen to get trained and go in various places but McQueen realizes that he needs to retire when he gets to race storm at the 2nd half which is pretty promising and relatable to show us that we can do better than cars 2 C+ See more BRADY T @BRADY1169420 5d This is again another really well done film and I just enjoyed these Cars films See more Adam N @Rashfordfan123 Mar 1 I can't believe I'm saying this, but this is the best movie in the cars franchise by an absolute mile. Going into this I thought I would hate it as McQueen is basically just slow and it is the end of his long and memorable career. However, It really demonstrates the transition to the next generation not just of cars but of the whole world. It's the first time we see a movie where McQueen is considered the slow one which is for me an unexpectedly strong finish to the series as it adds a feeling of hunger and desire to the movies that I have just never felt before. This is great for all ages and is without a doubt a very fun watch. That on top of so many new characters and amazing, memorable locations along the journey make this a fantastic movie. See more Mickey B. @Mickerdoo Feb 14 I enjoy 1 and 2 more. Retirement theme doesn’t feel as kid relatable. Epiphany felt obvious.
