Cars is a typical Disney-Pixar animated movie in that it deals with an anthropomorphic character (here, a car) and the heartwarming values of family and friendship. (Alas, we'll have to wait a little while longer for the company to take on greed and selfishness.) The accompanying soundtrack is equally typical in that it's split between catchy pop songs and a score by Randy Newman. The clear highlight of the pop tracks is Sheryl Crow's boisterous, huge-sounding "Real Gone" (her best song in ages). Rascal Flatts also cover Tom Cochrane's 1991 hit "Life Is a Highway," while John Mayer rocks out on "Route 66" (Chuck Berry's elegantly lean version is included as well). For his part, Newman continues his distinguished association with quality animation by supplying a nimble score. It's fun to hear him deploy riffs that wouldn't be out of place on a Quiet Riot album on the bombastic "Opening Race," while the bluesy "Bessie" does George Thorogood with a tuba. The CD's overall Southern flavor is emphasized by the frequent use of banjo and slide guitar, as well as by score tracks cantering about, like "McQueen and Sally." And, as usual, Newman delivers a nostalgic, misty-eyed song--in this case "Our Town," performed by that master of sensitive laid-back charm, James Taylor. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Rating: - Like the movie, even entertaining for adults
Perhaps your child is obsessed with the movie.Perhaps he has countless Cars characters that race around the house, Cars books, even Cars underwear.Now the obsession can carry over into car rides!Perhaps your child will even get to the point where they tell you what is happening in the movie while a certain song is playing.
Thank goodness it's such a listenable CD!
Rating: - Another Disney hit CD
My three y/o likes the movie, as well as the rest of the family. We love the music CD even more. Great mix of music. We play the CD often at home and while traveling.
Rating: - Great
Great CD. Kids soooooo love the first half, the songs. They recall the parts of the movie to the songs. The second half, the score, is good listening. The kids don't get it, but mom and dad know what part they are from.
Rating: - If you love the movie ...
Cars is one of my all-time favorite movies and ther are a bunch of great tunes in the movie. So if you like them, get this CD. Only unfortunate thing is that there are a ton of tunes from the movie that are a bit boring and they of course are also on the CD.
Rating: - For Your Cars' Fans
I really have not listened very closely to this CD, but any CD that can get my 4 year old son singing "Life is a Highway" is worth it.He is just so cute and will not stay this way for long.

Great for the Cars fan.
