Featured reviews
Annoying characters, ok animation, unoriginal plot. This feels like sparkplug entertainment made this mediocre, cringe worthy, ripoff of cars because all they do is just rip an idea out of another studios head and throw it at a screen and hope it sticks.
I watched all 8 movies when I was a child. And this copy really sucks. I dont recommend you to watch it.
Video Brinquedo have been branded The Asylum of animation for good reason. Their output is consistently awful, with the exact same flaws in everything they've done so far with no improvement whatsoever.
People may ask "why did you see them all or keep watching them?" The answer is very simple. Curiosity. There is something somewhat compulsive about their badness, but it compels anybody to see what else they've done and compare, also to see if they've made anything worthwhile. The answer is that none of them are, and while some are worse and more intelligence insulting than others the amateurish (and that's being kind) quality is consistent.
'Cars' may be one of Pixar's weaker films, being more a decent film than a masterpiece that Pixar has shown numerous times that they're capable of. Even with its faults, as said with 'Little and Big Monsters', it is a classic in comparison to the sheer awfulness and incompetence of its blatant rip off 'The Little Cars in the Great Race', one of the studio's worst. Some of what has been said in previous reviews for Video Brinquedo will be reiterated here, and it is hard not to do that because the flaws in all their animations are all exactly the same.
For starters, 'The Little Cars in the Great Race' is hideous to look at and looks like it was made in a few minutes if that. Again it is filled with forced character designs, incredibly flat colours(even badly coloured crayon pictures have more refinement) and backgrounds that are lacking in any kind of fluidity coming across as static and simplistic instead. Don't expect to be thrilled by the race sequences, one of the best things about 'Cars' but here some of the most inept animation, with goofs galore, slipshod editing and characters looking like they're not properly on the ground, can be found in the race sequences, which completely lacks thrills, suspense or energy. The music also sounds cheap and more suited to a low budget video game or a slots game, also never fitting and completely disconnected.
The writing once again is appalling, and doesn't even have unintentional humour value, with clunky and draggy exposition, nonsense and irrelevant chatter and unfunny and intelligence-insultingly stupid jokes, though thankfully none as racially offensive as some of those in 'Little and Big Monsters'. Adults will find it too juvenile and even kids will feel like it went well overboard trying to dumb down to them. Again a big problem when so dialogue-heavy.
'Little Cars in the Great Race' has a story that's interminably dull, with scenes that drag on and on and often serving no point at all, making a very short length feel twice (and perhaps even more) as long. Charm, fun, energy and heart are nowhere in sight here. Likewise with engaging characters or good voice acting, which for Video Brinquedo is not unexpected. The characters on top of being hideously animated are both bland and irritating, a few unintentionally creepy, anytime a character makes a mistake they don't ever seem to learn from it or care. The voice acting is lifeless, like they didn't even try or even want to be there, it was almost like they were bribed or would do anything to get some quick cash.
Overall, Video Brinquedo strikes again with one of the nadirs of a consistently terrible output. 1/10- rarely give out this rating these days but this one deserves it. Bethany Cox

While watching this movie, I felt the strange sensation I had already seen it somewhere but, at the same time, it made me feel something I've never felt before. The characters are all amazing, especially Tony Tunado, a race car who has the dream of winning the Great Race. He is a very humble guy, a great role model for our children. With this film, I think Vídeo Brinquedo confirmed his status as one of the main rivals of Pixar. This pleasant movie makes us appreciate friendship and can help children become less selfish and gain more responsibilities such as driving with caution when they grow up.
