Cars 3 (U)

Hopefully the final spluttering entry into Pixar’s brand-tarnishing, if highly profitable, series about a world inhabited by talking automobiles,

Cars 3 finds ageing racer Lightning Mcqueen (voiced once more by Owen Wilson) forced to confront the fact that his own track days may be over now that new computer-enhanced supercars are transforming the sport he loves with skill-eliminating technology. Essentially fusing the plots of Rocky IV and Rocky Balboa, this chop-shopped family film is Pixar at its absolute worst. It’s time the studio got back to making original movies.■
