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.

Kristen Lopez Culturess Cars 3 is a decent reconstituted Rocky with a bizarre faux feminist subplot and beautiful animation. Nov 20, 2017 Full Review Tara Brady Irish Times Cars 3, which picks up where the first, perfectly adequate, film left off, is by far the best instalment in the series. Rated: 3/5 Aug 11, 2017 Full Review Simran Hans Observer (UK) It's a colourful, spry enough ride, but it doesn't exactly reinvent the wheel. Rated: 2/5 Jul 16, 2017 Full Review Don Shanahan Every Movie Has a Lesson 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. Rated: 4/5 Jul 17, 2025 Full Review Fletcher Powell KMUW - Wichita Public Radio Cars 3 is every sports movie you’ve ever seen. May 12, 2023 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Cars 3 has a well-worn, delivers-what's-expected quality that lacks vitality. Rated: 2.5/4 Mar 23, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Julian informative but boring Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/21/24 Full Review Chiva H Tremenda obra maestra 10000/10 y god. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/16/25 Full Review weired boy o I love the ending to this movie, and I love all the new characters and just the plot in general. Just felt a bit unoriginal. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/09/25 Full Review Rohaan P After Cars 2, this one got way better. It still has the great animation, visuals and storytelling just like any other Pixar movie (except for Cars 2). It's a little bit boring, but still, Pixar did well with Cars 3. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/06/25 Full Review Jacopo D Che noia, per i bambini è incomprensibile e per i più grandi è di una depressione e di una lentezza fastidiosamente noiosa. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/30/25 Full Review BlueTop World b A bit worse than the original but omg this Movie is really good Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/24/25 Full Review Read all reviews
