Possibly the least highly rated of the Pixar movies?

The plot:
Young, brash, arrogant racing champion Lightning McQueen learns a few life lessons when he becomes lost in Radiator Springs, a town the world seems to have forgotten since a flyover was built. Having caused much damage to the towns' only road, Lightning must stay until everything is fixed and restored, perhaps to the towns' former glory, before returning to the limelight to compete in the biggest race of his life which, if he wins, will claim the much sought after Piston Cup.

Charming, funny, warm-hearted without being saccharine, Pixar have a knack for delivering high quality entertainment.
I must confess, I was a late convert, having seen Toy Story upon initial release and finding it too 'kiddy', the latter Pixar work seems a vast improvement.
With animation that will leave you speechless, this is family entertainment that anyone can enjoy.
Really, really liked it.
