	Media	Author	Review
		Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"Entretenimiento familiar lleno de sorpresas (...) Lasseter le da una intensidad visual y vocal que resulta asombrosa (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"
		Mick LaSalle SFGATE	"'Cars' looks cool. But take it out for a spin for 2 hours and it runs out of gas."
		Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"It tells a bright and cheery story, and then has a little something profound lurking around the edges (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"
		Manohla Dargis The New York Times	"Both in its ingratiating vibe and bland execution, 'Cars' is nothing if not totally, disappointingly new-age Disney"
		James Berardinelli ReelViews	"The story may be soft for a Pixar film, but the animation in 'Cars' exceeds anything we have previously seen, and that's quite a statement (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"
		Brian Lowry Variety	"Despite another impressive technical achievement, it's the least visually interesting of the computer-animation boutique's movies, and drifts slowly through its semi-arid midsection"
		Paul Arendt BBC	"'Cars' is a marvel of technology, but underneath that shiny bonnet there is a serious shortage of horsepower (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Olly Richards Empire	"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 (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Leslie Felperin Radio Times	"The middle act is too sedate and the jokes are below par. But, on the plus side, the racing sequences are mini-masterpieces of editing and the animation is consistently impressive (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"There's nothing inherently wrong with 'Cars', but nothing very much right either (...) Smooth, but bland and forgettable (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
