Cars 3 2017

Cars 3 is a 2017 American animated sports comedy film directed by Brian Fee and written by Kiel Murray, Bob Peterson, and Mike Rich. Produced by Pixar Animation Studios for Walt Disney Pictures, it is the third film in the Cars franchise, and the sequel to Cars 2 (2011). Owen Wilson, Larry the Cable Guy, Bonnie Hunt, Tony Shalhoub, Guido Quaroni, Cheech Marin, Jenifer Lewis, Paul Dooley, Lloyd Sherr, Michael Wallis, Katherine Helmond and John Ratzenberger reprise their roles from previous films, with Cristela Alonzo, Chris Cooper, Armie Hammer, Nathan Fillion, Lea DeLaria and Kerry Washington joining the cast. In the film, Lightning McQueen (Wilson), now a veteran race car and racing legend, must prove that he is still competitive against the next generation of technologically advanced racers, with the help of young technician Cruz Ramirez (Alonzo), to prevent a forced retirement from the Piston Cup. Development of a third Cars film began in late 2011 after the release of its predecessor, and entered production in 2014, with Pixar's then-CCO John Lasseter stating that it would be a "very emotional story", and go back to the first film's themes.
