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

While it's well-made and filled with the great humor we've come to expect, the series falls a bit short of expectations. The episodes are entertaining, and the animation quality is top-notch, but the short format leaves little room for the depth and emotional impact that a fourth feature film could have provided. The series serves as light entertainment, with fun, episodic adventures, but it doesn't quite capture the magic or weight of the films. Fans will appreciate seeing these characters back on screen, but "Cars on the Road" ultimately feels more like an appetizer than a main course, leaving you wishing for a more substantial offering. A solid watch, but nothing groundbreaking. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/02/24 Full Review Luiz Henrique S I Love it the series, it's welsome and amazing, and Cruz Ramirez appear in the last episode, i'm so happy to see her again, i Love so much this franchise, 10/10, 🍅100% 🍿100% Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/22/24 Full Review Read all reviews
