Critics Consensus

Cars 3 has an unexpectedly poignant story to go with its dazzling animation, suggesting Pixar's most middle-of-the-road franchise may have a surprising amount of tread left.

Cars 3 | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Kristen Lopez Culturess Cars 3 is a decent reconstituted Rocky with a bizarre faux feminist subplot and beautiful animation. Nov 20, 2017 Full Review Cars 3 | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Tara Brady Irish Times Cars 3, which picks up where the first, perfectly adequate, film left off, is by far the best instalment in the series. Rated: 3/5 Aug 11, 2017 Full Review Cars 3 | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Simran Hans Observer (UK) It's a colourful, spry enough ride, but it doesn't exactly reinvent the wheel. Rated: 2/5 Jul 16, 2017 Full Review Cars 3 | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Fletcher Powell KMUW - Wichita Public Radio Cars 3 is every sports movie you’ve ever seen. May 12, 2023 Full Review Cars 3 | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Cars 3 has a well-worn, delivers-what's-expected quality that lacks vitality. Rated: 2.5/4 Mar 23, 2022 Full Review Cars 3 | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Cory Woodroof Curnblog The Cars films are the Arnold Palmer of the Pixar universe there is nothing overtly clever, revolutionary or daring about mixing sweet tea and lemonade, but the beverage goes down like a song as long as you dont mess up the batch.
