It's never a good sign when the funniest, most entertaining part of a movie are the closing credits.

There's a lot of heart and soul--complemented by some of the most eye-popping visuals the computer-animation pioneer has ever devised.

Cars is not Pixar at its very best but it's immaculately drawn, full of surprises and beautifully voiced. It also moves at an astonishing speed.

This isn't a bad story, but it's a bit hokey, and not nearly as imaginative as Pixar's previous triumphs.

There's sure to be a dud somewhere in its future, but right now, the Disney/Pixar combination is the film industry's only sure-fire, guar-an-teed, git-'er-done hitmaker.

An average Pixar movie remains markedly better than the best from any other animation studio.

Smooth, but bland and forgettable.

Beneath those whiz-bang, state-of-the-art graphics lies a paean to nostalgia we've all heard before.

Judged against previous form, this is not Pixar firing on all cylinders, lacking the sophisticated comedy we’ve come to expect. Judged against fare from other studios, however, it’s a triumph.

The animation is as gorgeous as always, but when you find yourself admiring the beautifully rendered scenery in a cartoon you have to wonder whether the film itself is really working.
