Cars - 7/10
I've seen every Pixar release except The Incredibles, and I think Cars, while visually stunning, is the worst of them. There just isn't that much at stake. We are told pretty early that Lightning's quest for the Piston Cup is a rather shallow goal, so then what? This isn't a "father searches the ocean for his son" or "ants bond together to thwart the evil grasshoppers" type of story. Plus they really dropped the ball in underusing the talents of George Carlin, Cheech Marin, etc.
