We are a huge Disney family, so of course we saw Cars 3 in theaters. It immediately became of my favorite Disney movies. The lesson that it teaches is incredible – and an important one for kids. Cars 3 is sure to touch your heart. You will laugh, and in true Disney fashion, you might even cry. I know I did. The blu-ray just hit stores today, but I was lucky enough to get an advance copy. I think that every single bonus feature is a must watch!

Three Reasons To Watch Cars 3

Before I go into detail about the bonus features, I want to give you three reasons to watch Cars 3 – just in case you haven’t already. The first is the cast. We already know that Owen Wilson is fantastic as Lightning McQueen, but all of the new characters are incredible as well. Cruz Ramirez is probably my favorite new character in the film – and Cristela Alonzo voices her perfectly. I really hope we see more of her in the future – Cars 4 anyone?

Next up is the humor. For me, there wasn’t as much in this one as the previous two – however, it was the perfect amount. There are a couple of things in there that are just for adults, as well. This movie had my whole family laughing! Lastly, it is the lessons. Kids will learn to be themselves, to try and never give up, and also to support one another. They will learn that it is not always best to judge a book by its cover. These are all very important lessons, that I think every child needs to learn. I refuse to give spoilers – so this is the best you are going to get from me. Trust me, once you see the film these will all make sense.

Bonus Features

The Cars 3 blu-ray combo pack has lots of extras that are all worth watching! The exclusive new mini-movie, Miss Fritter’s Racing Skool is a favorite in our house and has been watched time and time again. My personal favorites are the deleted scenes. I always like seeing what didn’t make it in to the film. Here is a complete list of bonus features:

About Cars 3

In Cars 3, the legendary Lightning McQueen is suddenly pushed out of the sport he loves.

Proving that #95 isn’t through yet will test the heart of a champion on Piston Cup Racing’s biggest stage!
