And the decision to give a new female character a pink car seems baffling - particularly as the series has been criticized for gender stereotyping in the past. Any sense of realism needs to be left at the door - a round-the-world race takes only a few minutes to complete. That's not to say some of the franchise's existing issues are overcome.

She also steals, cheats, and puts other competitors in danger in order to win the race. Cheetah (voiced by Addison Holley) is depicted as vain and jealous. But there remains some gender stereotyping with some female characters lazily portrayed in pink. There are a number of positive messages to be taken from the movie, such as teamwork, helpfulness, and believing in oneself.
