Don't tell the kids, but Santa Claus isn't real and Pixar is fallible.June 24, 2011
...by Pixar's outrageous standards of Oscar shoo-in virtuosity, this sequel is a disappointment at best.January 02, 2013
Unlike the duller than duller "Cars," this is better than the toys they sell along with it.October 02, 2012

Undoubtedly flawed, this animated film is still (barely) worth seeing.January 29, 2012
Cars 2 is a very messy concoction, but it does prove entertaining every once in a while.July 19, 2011
Time, perhaps, for the franchise to be towed off to the scrapyard. Sorry, Pixar.June 24, 2011
