What Parents Need to Know
About Cars
Parents need to know that the car characters do some pretty raucous racing, careening off walls, trees, and each other. A group of The Fast and the Furious-style vehicles briefly threaten another car. Cars argue with one another, lose their tempers, and look sad or lonely. There's some innocent flirtation between boy and girl cars. Some mild language -- at least one use of "hell." At 116 minutes, it's on the long side for animation and may be too much for some really little kids. But stick around for the closing credits!

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the relationship between the old cars and the newer ones. They have different values. How does the film set up a choice between the current era (selfishness, commercial and celebrity culture run rampant) and a more ethical-seeming past (Doc embodies patience, skill, and dedication to community)? How does Lightning learn to appreciate and also, conveniently, enhance that simpler life?

My son's favorite movie, of course, by also my GIRLS' FAVORITE
Only iffy words I heard were "stupid" and "moron". Depends on your rules. Some homes may accept their children using these words, but some children aren't allowed to say them, much less call someone by one of these names. We choose to address the issue if they begin to use the words, because it is a GREAT MOVIE.

My least favourite pixar movie, it was a chore to sit though this one. Why so popular? It's about talking cars for crying out loud! How can you care for those types of characters?! Can't believe they're making a sequel.
