This is going to be pretty short and to the point: If you saw the poster, you know what this film is about. Unlike Cars 2, which had just about nothing to do with the first one, Cars 3 is as natural of a continuation of the first movie as you can get. It's all about Lightning McQueen learning to be more like Doc Hudson. I think one of the great things about this movie is that Lightning is actually far more mature than he was when we first met him in 2006, and you can see how he applies a lot of that humility and loyalty and team-player spirit throughout his daily life. Yet, there is one more lesson left for him to learn.

And boy, in learning that lesson, they call back Doc Hudson. The people at Pixar really held Paul Newman in high reverence.

Other than that, I have nothing to say that's suited for review. You know how it's going to look, how it's going to be directed, and that it will have a classic Randy Newman score (Yay! I love it when Pixar uses their OG composer!). All I have to left to talk about is the story, which is hard to discuss in a review. I think that it's pretty good, and pretty fitting. Of course, it's a bit predictable, but so was the first film. The point is that throughout the journey, and all the way to the very end, there's this very fulfilling emotion in your stomach.

This is a pretty good sequel, and a good sports movie. What's more, it makes me love the original even more, and now I want to go back and watch Paul Newman's last major role one more time.
