Life is a journey. Enjoy the trip.

After taking moviegoers magically into the realm of toys, bugs, monsters, fish and superheroes, the masterful storytellers and technical wizards at Pixar Animation Studios and Academy Award-winning director, John Lasseter, hit the road with a fast paced comedy adventure set inside the world of cars.

Lightning McQueen (voice of Owen Wilson), a hotshot rookie race car driven to succeed, discovers that life is about the journey, not the finish line, when he finds himself unexpectedly detoured in the sleepy Route 66 town of Radiator Springs. On route across the country to the big Piston Cup Championship in California to compete against two seasoned pros, McQueen gets to know the town’s offbeat characters – including Sally (a snazzy 2002 Porsche voiced by Bonnie Hunt), Doc Hudson (a 1951 Hudson Hornet with a mysterious past, voiced by Paul Newman) and Mater (a rusty but trusty tow truck voiced by Larry the Cable Guy) – who help him realise that there are more important things than trophies, fame and sponsorship.

The all-star vocal cast also includes freewheeling performances by racing legend, Richard Petty and Cheech Marin. Fuelled with plenty of humour, heartfelt drama and amazing new technical feats, Cars is a high-octane delight for moviegoers of all ages.

  1. I had my doubts about this movie but Pixar proved me wrong. My sons just
    loved it. We had a few laughs as well. When I watched this film I could
    not believe how real the cars looked. You actually forget that they are
    just cars and not people. This movie blew me away

  2. This was a great movie to watch. I still have my DVD with me and my kids find it funny to watch.

  3. my step kids love this movie and normally they bring their favourite
    DVD’s to watch with us and this movie is one of their favourites. I
    enjoy watching Cars with them

  4. My daughter and i have really enjoyed watching this movie. We have
    watched it quite a few times and have ended up purchasing it.

  5. My sons enjoyed this movie. They have the DVD and usually like to watch it again and again.

  6. I HAVE TWO BOYS NOW 4-3 YEARS BUT HAVE BEEN WATCHING THE MOVIE EVER
    SINCE IT CAME OUT A FEW YEARS AGO. THEY LOVE THE FLASH CARS, SONGS AND
    MATER THE FUNNY TOW TRUCK AND PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING ELSE. A MUST SEE
    MOVIE WITH KIDS WHO LOVE CARS.

  7. My boys love this movie, the school age one can just about say all the
    words by heart.. They haven’t watched it in ages but still enjoy it.
    Great movie for boys

  8. Pixar really knows how to put a movie together – this one starts it’s
    engine with a bang and drives through a whole range of emotions and life
    lessons! Not just for the boys either!
    I wouldn’t be surprised if a CARS 2 comes out within a few years!
