Our son (age 3) LOVES Cars 1, so we took a chance and bought Cars 2. The 2nd movie has a little faster-paced action, and a different feel than the original. Cars 1 is a sweet heartfelt story about a hot-shot rookie racecar learning some valuable life lessons and making true friends, by slowing down his pace in a historic Western small town along Route 66. Cars 2 is basically a James Bond-esque Spy movie, catapulting the main characters (Lightning McQueen and Tow Mater) into the role of accidental action heroes. The action is a little more intense, and I would not recommend it for very small children. They may enjoy the action and the characters still have much of the same heart; it is well written, with some really fun scenes and excellent voice acting. However the villains in the movie make it a little more sinister, putting the beloved characters in morbid danger, with guns and other weapons being fired, including direct threats / plots to "KILL" them. Our son watched it once, and he did enjoy it, but we have gone back to playing Cars 1 for him. It did not scare him badly, but we would prefer not to subject him to such intense plot-lines at such a young age, by repeating it. If your toddlers crave and are entertained by more intense, life-threatening danger, and cliffhanger action-hero theatrics, then by all means, play it for them. However, if you'd prefer a little tamer and more heartwarming of a story, this is not quite it. The movie does have some very funny moments, and is entertaining even for older children and adults, while also containing some excellently animated racing scenes. But the plot is not far off from some action spy movies (of course without any ultra-obvious / vivid death scenes), and it does contain many nicely crafted humorous moments which are liberally interjected, to "lighten it up." But the bullets are flying at various moments, and the frequent mortal peril, I'd suggest watching the more intense scenes involving the villains for yourselves -- then make the judgment call about subjecting your young toddler to the full movie. As with anything in life, this is totally a personal judgment call, and I respect parents who choose to allow their children to watch more intense action. It just wasn't (quite yet) what we wanted our 3yo son to be subjected to on a regular basis. We have the digital copy saved in our iTunes, for when he is ready, and we will play it for him again (someday). It's an entertaining action movie that warrants re-watching (and luckily, you shouldn't be too annoyed by it as a parent)!Read full review

Good, funny movie. Very underrated dare I say. No it wasnt as good as the first, but no sequels ever are. As far as sequels (to disney movies) this has to be on top of the list. Hilarious content and characters and good plot, overall great movie.

I never seen the other Cars movies, but a friend told me to watch them, as they are fun and good in 3D. I was very impressed and enjoyed the story line, jokes and the 3D effects.
