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.

3/5

Cars 3, which picks up where the first, perfectly adequate, film left off, is by far the best instalment in the series.

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

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.

Cars 3 has a well-worn, delivers-what's-expected quality that lacks vitality.

Cars 3 is a very beautiful animated cartoon film. It is a 2017 car film produced by pixar and realised by Brian Fee. The voice actors of the main characters are Owen Wilson as Lightning McQueen, Cristella Alonzo as Cruz Ramirez and Armie Hammer as Jackson Storm. And the assistant of Cruz Ramirez who is named Hamilton, his voice actor is the Formula 1 Champion, Hamilton ! Lightning McQueen is winning race but one rival appeared, this rival is named Jackson Storm and he overtakes McQueen. So McQueen try to overtake him back but he failed and he crashed. After his crash, McQueen is going to train with also a coach named Cruz Ramirez, who she is going to help McQueen. The animated scene are very good, the race scene are just beautiful ! It's a motivating film because the main message is "keep follow your dreams, train for your goal." But do you think McQueen will win races ? What is the real importance of Cruz Ramirez ? But never forgot one things, McQueen is "speed" and "he eat losers" !

The movie has good animation but, I feel the other two movies are better. It’s not bad, but it’s not awesome.

Only problem with this movie was the ending but I’d like the Hudson moments and lightning McQueen win the last race

An underrated masterpiece, as the whole Cars franchise is. The trailers, posters and marketing overall was insanely good. Sadly, we never see McQueen win anything special, but that's more of a Cars 2 fault. The plot is nice, but a reworked ending would make it a 10/10 for me. There is still a chance for a Cars 4 movie to finish it all... I hope!
