I'm surprised that Cars holds ~75% on Metacritic and Rotten Tomatos, while Inside Out and Toy Story and others have >95%.

I see Cars as a film that appeals to children primarily, while the others are "family" movies in the best sense.

It always seemed to me that Cars was intended to be a more child-oriented movie, but I don't know that it should suffer for that critically.

Maybe it w as hoped to be a film on the same level as those others, but I can't imagine anybody read the script and thought it would be.

They're not family movies, they're movies that parents want their kids to be interested in but the reality is kids prefer Cars, Frozen, Shrek and Minions.

I'm 54 and Cars is one of my favorite Pixar films (no, I'm not a NASCAR kind of guy). I never understood why it received such poor ratings.
