    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+.

    7/10
    Pixar keep the good line
    I found this movie to be enjoyable enough: Even when it is true that it wasn't at the same level than some of previous Pixar films (Such as "Toy Story" and "The Incredibles") it was a good film anyway, with an entertaining story and likable characters.

    Despite the strangeness of the premise of a world inhabited by living cars, the execution is fairly convincing, with a neat character development and many funny and heartwarming moments.

    Without being perfect, it managed to be something totally worth-watching from beginning to end, and in many ways this could be easily considered one of the best animated films from the year 2006 (Which was a terrible year, in my opinion)

    7.5/10
