Cars might get us into car world as a gimmick, but it doesn't get us into car world as a state of mind. Thus, the animation, rather than seeming like an expression of the movie's deeper truth, becomes an impediment to it.

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

Cars made me want to hop in my jalopy and to head out to Route 66, bypassing the boring interstate highways that made the Mother Road redundant.

Peter Howell, Toronto Star

It's beautiful to look at. The talking cars feel more alive than talking cars should.

Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel

It's another innovative piece of entertainment from the animation studio, taking the audience on a kinetic trip into a world populated only by automobiles.

Lisa Rose, Newark Star-Ledger

Like the Toy Story films, Cars is a state-of-the-computer-art plea on behalf of outmoded, wholesome fifties technology, with a dash of Zen by way of George Lucas.

David Edelstein, New York Magazine

It achieves the near impossible, turning cars, trucks, tractors and farm harvesters into cute Disney characters whose fates you'll care about.

Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News

It thunders ahead with breezy abandon, scoring big grins on its way.

Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle

For parents out there whose future holds the certain prospect of the DVD version blaring repeatedly from family-room screens, let this by your advisory. Warning: Cars comes unequipped with two essential options -- charm and a good muffler.

Rick Groen, Globe and Mail

It's touching, it's funny, it offers cautions about the modern pace of life, and it depends on a sense of rural Americana for its soul.

Tom Long, Detroit News

Its characters may be made of steel, but this movie is made of sturdier stuff: heart and art.

Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press

Cars idles at times. And it's not until its final laps that the movie gains the emotional traction we've come to expect from the Toy Story and Nemo crews.

Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post

No other outfit can match Pixar's knack for plucking heartstrings without tearing them off the frets.

Chris Vognar, Dallas Morning News

The short answer is: Pixar does it again.

Ty Burr, Boston Globe

At 116 minutes, it's a test not of speed but endurance.

J. R. Jones, Chicago Reader

It tells a bright and cheery story, and then has a little something profound lurking around the edges. In this case, it's a sense of loss.

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

None of the characters in Cars feel like flesh and blood. None of them feel like family. Instead, they're just a means to an end -- vehicles and nothing more.
