    So I have a couple questions... Why does Lightning McQueen have a tongue? How does money work in this world? Cars can be seen using men and women’s restrooms. What are they doing in the bathroom? Why are they gendered? Are cars built or born? How do they become…

    In my junior year of high school we had to watch this movie in health class and write a paper on Lightning McQueen's character growth and how he forms healthy relationships with the people around him over the course of the movie. So that was fun

    Sexiest movie ever made. Nothing more sensual than metal on metal, broom broom goes the engine baby and I'm revving for more. Gestural and sensual and everything cinema can and should be.

    I miss when Pixar created full-scale human-like worlds out of anthropomorphic beings. Toys, cars, sea life, and bugs. Elemental is probably the most recent release with an anthropomorphic atmosphere, and I loved it compared to Soul, Turning Red, Luca, Lightyear, Onward, and so on. That said, I love…

    Astonishing character development by an animated car that makes the film feel realistic and diverts your attention from the strangeness of talking cars (9.1/10)

By relying too much on snappy dialogue and by adhering to the philosophy that steel should feel like steel and glass should feel like glass, the filmmakers have bridled their imaginations and created a movie about toys that are too blubbery and not rubbery enough.

The Pixar people have an extreme talent for conjuring imagery that is both soaring in its majesty but also resonant -- it's a stylization but acute enough to carry emotional meaning.

It doesn't make Cars a bad picture -- the visual inventions are worth the price of admission -- but it constitutes conduct unbecoming to a maker of magic.
