Mild yay. Movies that contemplate mortality in a non-fatalistic tone (so especially in family-oriented context) will always get to me on some level. The majority of Cars 3 might be the most formulaic Pixar has ever been, not much in the way of studio's usual stray pleasures (even Cars 2 which I liked less still has that) but that underlying emotion, coupled with the affecting third act, still make this a pretty good note for the franchise to go out on if it so chooses. 6.5/10

6/10, even at the bottom, is still too high for Cars 2.
