...Pixar's world where cars do the talking and the racing is turned upside down when Lightning McQueen is lost in Radiator Springs.
The plot of this film is , in my opinion, unsurprising, but it does bring together a diverse mix of characters. As with many [all?] Pixar productions, this is ultimately a feel-good movie.
There are elements of the film that will please different age groups at different levels; I enjoyed the film as an adult, and my children took different elements of enjoyment from it.
Finally, as with all PIxar movies in my experience, the animation, music score, and voice acting is impeccale good.
In summary, this is a feel-good movie aimed at older pre-teens, that has something that younger children can enjoy, and is so easy to watch that teens and above would find this a relaxing and fun film....
