This seems to be a bit of uninspired commercial exploitation. I also dare to put the stamp "crime film for 4-year-olds" on it. As far as I'm concerned it already goes wrong in the first scene, a car that vertically drives up a ship and climbs walls, and shakes off its pursuer by dumping oil causing the pursuer to end up in the sea and drown... the first car-dead as far as I'm concerned.

The plot is not clear to an adult, especially at the beginning, let alone to the target audience. I don't think there are little kids who understand that an electric car is running a criminal organization that wants to give biodiesel a bad name in order to sell oil itself, and does this by promoting biodiesel and then labeling it as dangerous [ /spoiler]. I call that complicated, except for the 4-year-olds who know all about organized crime, front companies, conspiracy theories, espionage, biodiesel and electric cars, of course. Who the bad guy is is also easy for a 4-year-old who knows the origin of car parts and can tell the brand from a nut.

Pixar seems to have lost sight of who the target audience is here. Furthermore, the identity of the characters is completely lost here, and we are treated to a common thread that we have already seen in part 1 and is repeated here exactly, namely a McQueen who again goes wrong by his friend Mater dump it again, and the two of them will be fine again. Let me guess... the makers think that's a great plot for part 3?

Worst Pixar. 1,5* for the effort, and for the beautiful backgrounds/racing scenarios, which appealed to me as a (former) F1 fan. Very nicely made, indeed.

"Whoever finds a friend, finds a treasure."

Reasonable second Cars adventure. All the characters are back, and therein lies the great strength of this franchise. Story-wise, it is all disappointing, and it seems as if the makers were forced to make a sequel. Messy, childish and also in terms of humor it doesn't stop there. The characters and the voice actors keep it all together a bit.
