Cars
Ahhh... it's got that new movie smell.
Directed by John Lasseter
Produced by Pixar
A heartwarming family adventure about a self-centered racer learning humility and the value of community through unexpected friendships in a forgotten small town.
Lightning McQueen, a hotshot rookie race car driven to succeed, discovers that life is about the journey, not the finish line, when he finds himself unexpectedly detoured in the sleepy Route 66 town of Radiator Springs. On route across the country to the big Piston Cup Championship in California to compete against two seasoned pros, McQueen gets to know the town's offbeat characters.
