Certainly a talent such as Hunt deserves more to do, but it’s nice to have Sally back in the action, even in a limited capacity. The picture also makes a visit to Radiator Springs to see the old gang, with Sally returning to a position of support for McQueen. Instead of continuing Mater’s spy game from “Cars 2,” the new film gently pushes the buck-toothed tow truck to the background, returning him to the supporting character he was originally intended to be.
Think of “Cars 3” as the “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade” to “Cars’” “Raiders of the Lost Ark.” Not quality-wise, of course, but as producer backtracking after a wild franchise experiment that didn’t go as well as planned, with the creators scrambling to reclaim what was lost by returning to the creative elements that made the original effort so beloved.

However, the road to redemption isn’t easy, with McQueen learning his true place in professional racing, confronting his age and his experience on the track. Hoping to return to his life, McQueen works on his focus, trying to summon the legacy of Doc Hudson (Paul Newman) to inspire his return to racing. McQueen is paired with Cruz Ramirez (Cristela Alonzo), a racing trainer who has faith in her client, but can’t get him up to speed. After enduring a massive car wreck that almost ends his career, McQueen pulls back to rehabilitate, sent to the Rust-eze Racing Center to work on his fundamentals. Coming out of nowhere to make McQueen feel obsolete is next-gen racer Jackson Storm (Armie Hammer), whose arrogance matches his incredible speed. Director Brian Fee (taking over for John Lasseter) knows exactly what he want from the second sequel, keeping the picture stuffed with likable characters, mild tests of integrity, and a sustained examination of aging, preserving a circular arc of maturity that picks up where “Cars” left off.Įnjoying his time as a hero of the racing circuit, Lightning McQueen (Owen Wilson) is happy to share his fame with his Radiator Springs pals, including girlfriend Sally (Bonnie Hunt) and best friend, Mater (Larry the Cable Guy). Recognizing a swing and a miss, Pixar rebounds with “Cars 3,” which eliminates the gratuitous violence and slapstick antics of bumbling tow truck Mater to return to the essentials of Lightning McQueen race world anxiety. Not that 2006’s “Cars” was an amazing achievement in animated entertainment, but “Cars 2” was built almost entirely out of bad ideas, with Pixar so concerned with taking the franchise in a fresh direction, it forgot what was modestly appealing about the material to begin with. “Cars 3” is the apology for “Cars 2” we all deserve.
