    Storyline

    • Trivia
      This was Paul Newman's last American feature film before his death of lung cancer in 2008. It turned out to be the highest-grossing movie of his career. George Carlin died of heart failure three months earlier. This was the highest-grossing film of his career as well.
    • Goofs
      After Mater tips two tractors, McQueen attempts to follow suit. When the camera pulls back to show all of the tractors tipping, the two Mater tipped initially are nowhere to be seen. Mater has not moved appreciably, so the tractors he tipped should have been on-screen right next to him.
    • Quotes

      Lightning McQueen: He's won three Piston Cups!

      Mater: [spits out fuel] He did WHAT in his cup?

    • Crazy credits
      The credits contain a dedication and retrospective of characters voiced by Joe Ranft, a Pixar writer who died in 2005.
    • Alternate versions
      The UK version features Top Gear (1978) host Jeremy Clarkson as the voice of Harv instead of Jeremy Piven. This version is also available worldwide as an audio track on Disney+.

    Pixar does it again
    Pixar just keeps hitting them out of the park. Larry the cable guy was a great cast as Mater. Owen Wilson as Lightining was another great decision for the makers of Cars. There is never a dull moment while watching this film. I guess that is obvious by the overwhelming success at the box office. Working at a movie theater I get to see the reactions of our patrons after seeing each film we show; Cars is a must see this summer. There are very few genuine family movies released now a days, this is a clean movie that families can come together and enjoy without worrying about having to screen the film before bringing the kids. I recommend everyone go see this film and then go see it again.
