Overall, this is a great pick for car fans of all ages. But the characters learn key life lessons, and there are positive messages about the importance of finding wise, supportive mentors (like the dearly departed Doc Hudson) the idea that no matter how old you are, you always have more to learn and the fact that regardless of your gender or what you look like, you should be allowed to compete and reach for your dreams. That said, while language, romance, and drinking and smoking are all minimal, be ready for a couple of intense crash/demolition derby scenes in which main characters are damaged, in danger, or afraid of aggressive vehicles (one even deploys spinning saws). The star-studded voice cast, led by Owen Wilson, returns for a threequel that's much more diverse and uplifting (not to mention less violent) than the last installment, Cars 2.
Parents need to know that Cars 3 is part of Pixar's popular movie franchise about a world of talking, human-like vehicles.
