Prehistoric family sticking together while their whole world reshapes
The difference: Plays it more sincere — fewer pirates, more father-daughter feelings

A nervous hero dragged out of his comfort zone into the countryside
The difference: Three loosely stitched storylines instead of one journey

High-speed delivery chaos with a mismatched duo learning to care
The difference: Frantic modern gag pacing — no prehistoric charm or old friends

The difference: Rapid-fire British wit that may sail over the kids' heads

Whimsical where it counts, witty underneath
The difference: Reviewed even better

A beloved crew shipped abroad for a louder, plot-heavy adventure
The difference: Spy-caper detours crowd out the friendship that made Cars work
