Randy Myers San Jose Mercury News “Cars on the Road ” celebrates the friendship of two very unlike people, er, cars and how that odd couple-ness takes them to unexpected destinations and gives them better insight about each other and those around them. Rated: 3/4 Sep 8, 2022 Full Review Pramit Chatterjee Digital Mafia Talkies Cars on the Road is an incredibly fun, spooky, and action-packed little miniseries that’s brimming with beautiful animation, foot-tapping numbers, and timely messages about friendship, family, and self-acceptance. Rated: 4/5 Jul 20, 2023 Full Review Jason Flatt But Why Tho? A Geek Community Cars on the Road is a good bit of fun held back by its too-short format. Rated: 7/10 Jan 14, 2023 Full Review Alex Maidy JoBlo's Movie Network If your kids are fans of Lightning McQueen and Mater, they will have a bunch of new toys they will add to this year’s Christmas list. Beyond that, there is not much else to warrant a recommendation for this series. Rated: 6/10 Sep 23, 2022 Full Review Polly Conway Common Sense Media Zippy series has a few scares but mostly whole-family fun. Rated: 4/5 Sep 19, 2022 Full Review Diego Peralta Cultured Vultures Cars On The Road is an unfulfilling collection of shorts which suggest that the Cars universe was better left alone. Rated: 5/10 Sep 16, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews
