Film review: Disney's Cars 3 in cinemas on 14 July 2017

  Disney’s Cars 3 is possibly the best Cars film released so far. My 10 year old son Diego has seen the animations Cars and Cars 2 at least 1000 times. When Cars was released, he was just two and Cars was the first film he had watched from start to finish without me doing a lot of explaining.

It is one of those attractions that require at least a full day to be able to visit everything. But you can return again and again and always find new artifacts and new fun activities to…
