Cars 3 is a lot more cathartic and exciting to us as parents because we have a child and that child is borderline obsessed with Cars and Cars 2 at the moment. That said, this movie is pretty ok. Nothing ground breaking or anything and its really tired that McQueen can only drive plot forward when he's being a narcissitic butthole but hey you have a formula so why stray from it and write something new and interesting, amirite?
