Cars

A fast-paced comedy adventure set inside the world of automobiles. 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. En 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- including Doc Hudson (a 1951 Hudson Hornet with a mysterious past), Sally (a snazzy 2002 Porsche) and Mater (a rusty but trusty tow truck)- who help him realize that there are more important things than trophies, fame and sponsorship.
