Cars is the second franchise created by Pixar and distributed by Disney, after Toy Story. Cars was released on June 9, 2006, and Cars 2 was released on June 24, 2011.
Cars I is the seventh of twelve films made by Pixar. The story is about rookie racecar, Lightning McQueen, who gets lost on the way to a tiebreaker race in the Piston Cup and ends up in a little town called Radiator Springs on Route 66, that had since been forgotten because the Interstate
was built.

| Lightning McQueen |
He accidentally wrecks the road and is sentenced to fix it.
During his time, he goes tractor tipping with his new best friend Tow
Mater and goes on a drive with his future girlfriend Sally Carrera. After McQueen fixes the road, Doc Hudson
no longer wants him in town, so he calls the news crew to take McQueen
to Los Angeles, but it doesn't take long for Doc to realize how much
he's helped Radiator Springs, so he goes back to being the Hudson Hornet
and becomes McQueen's crew chief, while most of the Radiator Springs
folks become his pit crew. McQueen is about to win the race, but helps
The King cross the finish line after Chick Hicks
crashes him and wins the Piston Cup after being in third on the last
lap, but is booed by everyone as comeuppance. Despite his loss,
Lightning is offered to be the new face of Dinoco, but he decides to
stay with Rusteze. He does, however, arrange for Mater to ride in the
Dinoco helicopter just like McQueen promised. The film ends with McQueen
setting up his racing headquarters in Radiator Springs, thereby putting
it back on the map.
