Disney and Pixar are bringing the animated classic 'Cars' back to theaters on September 4, 2026, to celebrate its 20th anniversary.
The re-release is timed perfectly to honor 'Lightning McQueen Day' on September 5, a fun nod to the main character's iconic number 95.
First released in 2006, 'Cars' was the final film produced by Pixar before its acquisition by Disney.
It quickly became a cultural phenomenon, introducing us to lovable characters like Lightning McQueen, voiced by Owen Wilson, and Mater, played by Larry the Cable Guy.
Beyond the film, the franchise has left a lasting legacy with immersive attractions like Cars Land and successful spin-offs.
The 20th-anniversary celebration is global, featuring motorsports collaborations at major events, special screenings along the historic Route 66, and touring exhibits featuring a real-life 'Sally' Porsche.
Whether you are a lifelong fan or watching it for the first time, this theatrical event is a fantastic way to celebrate a beloved piece of cinematic history.
Start your engines and head to the cinema to relive the magic on the big screen!
