I was a major fan of the criminally under rated first Cars movie by Disney Pixar although I was surprised when they announced there would be a sequel.

I felt the sequel was a little unneeded but that said, this is still an enjoyable Pixar movie.

While it was mildly fun in places but falling flat in others, your opinion of this movie will depend on your opinion of the character Mater. While in the original Cars movie his 'fish out of water' routine was reigned in, in this release it's unleashed and after a while, it really starts to grate on the viewer.

The voice work by Eddie Izzard is once again brilliant, after his performance in Igor, as is the voice work by Michael Caine.

The picture and sound quality are on a par with all the other Pixar releases in that they look and sound incredibly clear and beautiful.

However, another disappointing part of this release is the distinct lack of extras.

There are two exclusive short cartoons, which while funny don't really add anything to the release.

While I would recommend it for families with little ones, as my little boy liked it, I can't really recommend it that highly. I'd personally check out the other Disney Pixar movies that are better such as Wall-E or even the original Cars movie.
