Cars 3 Movie Wiki (2024)

FAQs

Is Cars 4 coming out in 2024? ›

While there have been talks about the possibility of a new Cars movie, including ideas of reinventing the series, nothing concrete has been announced, and a release date before 2028-2029 seems unlikely at this point.

This is the shortest Cars film in the franchise, having a run time of 102 minutes. This is the first Pixar film to be directed by Brian Fee.

The film's story takes place during the 2016-2017 Piston Cup seasons. Long-time champion Lightning McQueen is beginning to struggle with new next-generation competitors, including the co*cky Jackson Storm. Following a large crash, McQueen turns to racing trainer and technician Cruz Ramirez for help with recovery.

Cars 3 is an enjoyable and uplifting movie about learning to accept help from others and having the courage to try something new. Lightning's problems with a new and faster opponent highlight the inevitable situation of anyone who's growing older, which is likely to be appreciated by adult viewers.

Anticipation for Cars 4 is high, but Disney has not addressed any details for the movie. Producers have shown openness to expanding the franchise, with potential for a new lightning McQueen narrative. Story details remain a mystery, focusing on potential Cruz Ramirez involvement and moving away from McQueen.

Disney will release Pixar's Toy Story 5 on June 19, 2026, the studio announced Friday. Disney CEO Bob Iger first announced Toy Story 5 in February 2023, with the sequel an attempt to return to form for the franchise after the disappointing performance of the 2022 spinoff, Lightyear, which voice starred Chris Evans.

It is unknown why Holley did not appear in Cars 3, but it is possible that the nature of her work meant that she was busy with her job around the time of the third film.

Pretty much yeah. Pixar doesn't like acknowledging the majority of Cars 2 besides the World Grand Prix and I guess the dent being connected to Mater meant it was connected to the spy part of the movie (despite him getting it in Radiator Springs) and might've just took it out to ignore the film even more.

It is implied that Doc died prior to the events of Cars 2, and he appears in flashback sequences in Cars 3. Doc is voiced by Paul Newman in Cars, Cars 3 (the latter via archive audio recordings) and Cars: the Video Game, and Corey Burton in all other media.

Mater returns in Cars 3 but in a smaller role compared to the first two films. In the first scene he is next to McQueen and tells everyone around to keep quiet so McQueen is ready for the race.

What car is Jackson Storm in real life? ›

Jackson Storm – 2002 Cadillac Cien Concept

Voiced by actor Armie Hammer, Jackson Storm is the quick, co*cky, and friendless rival for McQueen. In the movie he's younger, fitter, and faster than the lead. In the movie he's called a 2017 Custom-built “Next-Gen” Piston Cup Racer.

How Old is Lightning McQueen? In the original Cars movie, McQueen is in his early-to-mid twenties, and reaches the apex of his career in his late thirties in Cars 2 , before approaching obsolescence and retirement in his early forties through Cars 3 .

While another sequel to Cars was still not needed, Cars 3 is at least closer to the quality of the original. With more of a focus on Lightning McQueen and his internal struggle, the story has a lot more depth than Cars 2.

In the season's final race at Los Angeles, Lightning starts falling behind Storm after both of them pitted. He tries to keep up, but in doing so, stalls his engine and suffers a violent crash, leaving him badly damaged and ending his worst season on record prematurely, while Storm goes on to win the Piston Cup.

Jackson Storm is the main antagonist of the 2017 Disney/Pixar animated feature film Cars 3.
