Cars is Pixar 's seventh feature film. It was released in theaters on June 9, A second sequel, Disney Pixar Cars 3 Disney Pixar Cars, was released in Disney Pixar Cars on June 16, This film is the final Pixar film produced independently before it was purchased by Disney. The story of Cars is set in an alternate universe where every character is a vehicle of various sorts, whether that be an automobile, an aircraft and a watercraft. The film focuses on a rookie race car named Lightning McQueen who discovers the lost town of Radiator Springs on his way to the biggest race of his life. The film opens in the last race Disney Pixar Cars the Piston Cup stock car racing season and championship in the Motor Speedway of the South. However, because of his refusal to make regular pit stops and get new tires, his rear worn tires burst into Disney Pixar Cars on the final lap, causing Disney Pixar Cars to skid and ultimately crawl to the finish line, barely managing to tie the King and Chick Hicks in a photo finish by sticking his tongue out at the edge of the finish line. Race officials announce that because the three racers are also tied in overall season points they will compete in one final tiebreaker race to be held at the Los Angeles International Speedway in one week to determine the champion. Route 66catching the attention of the local Radiator Springs Sheriff in the process. Lightning Disney Pixar Cars taken to traffic court, where the town's attorney Sally Carrera pleads against Lightning. He is sentenced to repave the road using " Bessie ", an asphalt-laying machine. Only interested in leaving and extremely furious, he makes an escape attempt before being hooked up, only to figure out his gas tank was siphoned. He leaves Doc in the dust at the starting line, but loses control on the loose dirt turn and crashes into a cactus patch. After Lightning completes a section of the road for the night, Mater asks if he would like to do something fun. He finds out that Mater was talking about a game called "Tractor Tipping. Mater shows him how to tip a tractor. He sneaks up to one sleeping and suddenly blares his horn causing the tractor to react and tip over backward and fart backfire. Lightning having a go Disney Pixar Cars a tractor with Mater urging him to do it. Lightning then roars engine waking ever tractor in the field with all of them tipping over and farting all at once. They have a laughing moment, but suddenly awake Frank, a red combine harvester with the personality of a bull who chases them out of the field by threaten to grind them up with his blade. He starts to befriend the town's residents and learn more about the town in the process: how Radiator Springs was once a thriving town until completion of the nearby interstate bypassed the little town, depriving it of its business traffic and visitors and ironically, depriving those passing visitors of the natural beauty found in the scenery along the old highway, how Sally left behind her Disney Pixar Cars but unhappy life as an urban lawyer, what tractor tipping is, and how Doc Hudson was once a famous racecar himself the Hudson Hornet and 3-time Piston Cup champion -- until a horrible crash in ended his racing career. Rather than immediately leaving for California as he had initially been eager to do, he Disney Pixar Cars the day touring the town's businesses, receiving a fresh coat of paint and new tires in the process, and participates in a cruise party that night. But he is suddenly found, then whisked away in his truck, Mack, without even a chance Disney Pixar Cars bid farewell to Radiator Disney Pixar Cars. The town's residents are sad to see him leave, and Sally is grumpy to learn that it was Doc who ultimately informed the media of Lightning's whereabouts. The final race among Lightning, the King, and Chick opens with what the race's commentators call the biggest race in history. To his surprise, Doc Hudson has arrived at the race, with Mater and a few others from Radiator Springs who will serve as his pit crew, Doc, once again wearing his original Hudson Hornet racing stripes, takes over as Lightning's crew chief. Lightning, fearing that the King's racing career will end in the same way as did the Hudson Hornet's, comes to a full stop right before the finish line, choosing to accept loss. This helps to revitalize the town and draw back visitors and tourists, with the once-abandoned Route 66 being reclassified as Historic Route While Pixar was wrapping up production on A Bug's Life in the Fall ofstory development artist Jorgen Klubien began writing a story for a brand-new animated feature. Some of the original drawings and characters were produced in Later, production resumed with major script changes, like giving Mater, Doc and a few other characters a bigger part. Inthe movie's working title was Route 66 after U. Route 66but inthe title was changed to prevent people from thinking it was related to the television series of the same Disney Pixar Cars. Also, Lightning McQueen's number was originally going to be 57 Lasseter's birth yearbut was changed to 95 the year Toy Story was releasedthe number seen in the movie today. Cars is the last film worked Disney Pixar Cars by Joe Ranftwho died in a car crash in The film was the second to be dedicated to his memory, after Corpse Bride. Unlike most anthropomorphic cars, Disney Pixar Cars eyes of the cars in this film were placed on the windshield which resembles Disney's own Susie the Little Blue Couperather than within the headlights. According to production designer Bob Pauley, "From the very beginning of this project, John Lasseter had it Disney Pixar Cars his mind to have the eyes be in the windshield. For one thing, it separates our characters from the more common approach where you have little cartoon eyes in the headlights. For another, he thought that having the eyes down near the mouth at the front end of the car made the character feel more like a snake. With the eyes set in the windshield, the point of view is more human-like, and made it feel like the whole car could be involved in the animation of the character. The characters also use their tires as hands, Disney Pixar Cars exceptions being the various tow truck characters who sometimes uses their tow hooks, and the Disney Pixar Cars forklift characters, who use their forks. The lighting team had major challenges throughout the production of Carsas the characters needed to have photo-realistic paint, including shine, sparkle, and reflection. In order to do this more efficiently, Pixar's simulation department developed "Ray Tracing" capabilities that were added to the Renderman software, which allowed the lighting department to determine the path of the different beams of light and thus have more accurate paint Disney Pixar Cars. This was done manually from this point on until the beginning of production of Monsters University inin which time upgrades to Renderman automated most lighting functions. The landscape in the distance behind Radiator Springs is made up of rock formations intentionally reminiscent of Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo, Texas. The road map shown in the montage history of the town calls the area, "Cadillac Range. A landmark, called Radiator Cap, overlooks the town, and has two white letters "R" and "S" written upon it. The style and relative positioning of these letters on the landmark closely resemble the "RS" badge used on the first-generation "Rally Sport" Camaros. Radiator Springs is loosely based on Amboy, California in the Mojave Desert -- a town that showed a decline in almost all traffic when I Disney Pixar Cars in Sally references this in the film. Nearby "Ornament Valley" a reference to Monument Valley is made Disney Pixar Cars rock formations that project from the valley walls or rise from the valley floor and resemble the front ends of late s to early s American automobiles. This logo also appeared on Ford V8 in the sixties as well as Disney Pixar Cars Ford Explorers. The track on which the opening race Motor Speedway of the South takes place is actually based on and an enlarged version of the real life Bristol Motor Speedway. Many characters and places in the movie are directly inspired on the real Route 66 places and people. The Cars Soundtrack has two versions of the classic Nat King Cole jazz standard 'Route 66' song, one by Chuck Berry and a new version which also has an extended version recorded specifically for the first song of the film's end credits performed by John Mayer. In the United States, the film held onto the 1 spot for two weeks before being surpassed by Click and then by Superman Returns the Disney Pixar Cars weekend. It was the highest-grossing animated film of in the U. Critics stated that Cars did not do as well critically as the other films. Theatrical and home video releases include One Man Bandreleased ina year before this movie is released.

In his story, Mater often finds himself in an inescapable predicament. You was there too! The cartoons end with Mater leaving the scene, often followed by characters or references to the story that was being told, suggesting the story might be real.

The film was accompanied Disney Pixar Cars the short One Man Band for its theatrical and home media releases. In a world populated by anthropomorphic talking vehicles, the final race Disney Pixar Cars the Piston Cup season ends in a three-way tie for Disney Pixar Cars place between retiring veteran Strip "The King" Weathersfrequent runner-up Chick Hicksand brash rookie sensation Lightning McQueen ; the tiebreaker race is scheduled for one week later at the Los Angeles International Speedway. McQueen is desperate to win the race, not only to be the first rookie to win the Piston Cup, Disney Pixar Cars also because it would allow him to leave the unglamorous sponsorship of Rust-Eze, a bumper ointment company, and take The King's place on the prestigious and lucrative Dinoco team. However, he struggles to work with others due to his selfishness, which has caused him to fire three crew chiefs Disney Pixar Cars having his pit crew quit after the race. Eager to get to California as soon as possible, he pushes his big rigMackto travel all night long. While McQueen is sleeping, Mack nods off and is startled awake, causing McQueen to fall out the back of the trailer and onto the road. McQueen wakes up in the middle of traffic and speeds off the highway Disney Pixar Cars search of Mack, but instead ends up in the rundown desert town of Radiator Springswhere he inadvertently damages the pavement of the main road. The next day, McQueen is ordered by the town judge Disney Pixar Cars medical doctor, Doc Hudsonto leave town immediately, but the local lawyer, Sallyrequests that McQueen should instead be assigned community service to repave the road, to which Doc reluctantly agrees. Still in a rush to leave town, McQueen repaves the road shoddily, and is ordered to repave it again. During this time, he begins to warm to the town, and befriends several of its residents. He learns that Radiator Springs was once a popular stop along U. Route 66 until it was bypassed with the construction of Interstate 40 and mostly Disney Pixar Cars, and that Doc was the Fabulous Hudson Horneta three-time Piston Cup champion whose career ended from a devastating crash in He bonds with Sally, who found happiness when she gave up a fast life in Los Angeles to live in Radiator Springs, and now dreams of putting the town back on the map. McQueen finishes repaving the road, reinvigorating the town's residents, and decides to spend an extra day in Radiator Springs with his new friends, but his time there is cut short when Mack and the media descend on the town. McQueen reluctantly Disney Pixar Cars to reach California in time for the race while Disney Pixar Cars expresses her disappointment with Doc upon discovering that he was responsible for tipping off the media to McQueen's whereabouts. At the race, McQueen races Disney Pixar Cars and soon falls into last place. He is then surprised to discover that Doc, having a change of heart, has taken over as his crew chief and several of his other friends from Radiator Springs are helping in the pit. Inspired and recalling tricks he learned from Doc and his friends, McQueen vaults into Disney Pixar Cars lead. On the final lap, Chick sideswipes and sends The King into a dangerous crash. Recalling Doc's fate, McQueen stops Disney Pixar Cars short of the finish line, handing Chick the victory, and drives back to push The King over the finish line. As a result, the angered crowd and media condemn Chick's victory but praise McQueen's sportsmanship. McQueen is offered the Dinoco sponsorship, but declines and insists on staying with Rust-Eze out of loyalty for their past support. Back at Radiator Springs, McQueen reunites with Sally and announces that he will be setting up his racing headquarters there, putting Radiator Springs back on the Disney Pixar Cars. In a post-credits Disney Pixar CarsMinny and Van, a couple who were trying to find the Interstate, are Disney Pixar Cars lost in the middle of the desert. The memorial showed the roles he had done in the other films directed by John Lasseter during the credits. The genesis of the film came Disney Pixar Cars as Pixar began wrapping up production on A Bug's Life. At that time, Jorgen Klubien began writing a new script called The Yellow Carwhich was about an electric car Disney Pixar Cars in a gas-guzzling world inspired by The Ugly Ducklingan idea triggered by the poor Disney Pixar Cars his fellow countrymen gave the Mini-El car. John Lasseter said that inspiration for the film's story came after he took a cross-country road trip with his wife and five sons in Wallis then led eleven Pixar animators in rented white Cadillacs on two different road trips across the route to research the film. Route 66but the title was changed to Cars in order to avoid confusion with the s television series of the same name. InLasseter spoke about the inspiration for the film, saying: "I have always loved cars. In one vein, I have Disney blood, and in the other, there's motor oil. The notion of combining these two great passions in my life—cars and animation—was irresistible. When Joe Ranft and I first started talking about this film inwe knew we wanted to do something with cars as characters. Around that same time, we watched a documentary called 'Divided Highways,' which dealt with the interstate Disney Pixar Cars and how it affected the small towns along the way. We were so moved by it and began thinking about what it must have been like in these small towns that got bypassed. That's when we started really researching Route 66, but we still hadn't quite figured out what the story for the film was Disney Pixar Cars to be. I used to travel that highway with my family as a child when we visited our family in St. Years later inKlubien said the film was both his best and most bitter experience because he was fired before it premiered and because he feels Lasseter wrote him out of the story of how the film got made. InLasseter spoke about how they worked hard to make the animation believable, saying: "It took many months of trial and error, and practicing test animation, to Disney Pixar Cars out how each car moves and how their world works. Our supervising animators, Disney Pixar Cars Sweetland and Scott Clark, and the directing animators, Bobby Podesta and James Ford Murphy, did an amazing job working with the animation team to determine the unique movements for each character based on its age and the type of Disney Pixar Cars it was. Some cars are like sports cars and they're much tighter in their suspension. Others are older '50s cars that are a lot looser and have more bounce to them. We wanted to get that authenticity in there but also to make sure each car had a unique personality. We also wanted each animator to be able to put some of themself in the character and give it their own spin. Every day in dailies, it was so much fun because we would see things that we had never seen in our lives. The world of cars came alive in a believable and unexpected way. Unlike most anthropomorphic cars, the eyes of the cars in this film were placed on the windshield which resembles the Tonka Talking Trucks, the Disney Pixar Cars from Tex Avery 's One Cab's Family short and Disney's own Susie the Little Blue Couperather than within the headlights. For one thing, it separates our characters from the more common approach where you have little cartoon eyes in the headlights. For another, he thought that having the eyes down near the mouth at the front end of the car feels more like a snake. With the eyes set in the windshield, the point of view is more human-like, and made it feel like the whole car could be involved in the animation of the character. Insupervising animator Disney Pixar Cars the film Scott Clark, spoke about the challenges of animating car Disney Pixar Cars, saying: "Getting a full range of performance and emotion from these characters and making them still seem like cars was a tough assignment, but that's what animation does best. You use your imagination, and you make the movements and gestures fit with the design. Our car characters may not have arms and Disney Pixar Cars, but we can lean the tires in or Disney Pixar Cars to suggest hands opening up or closing in. We can use steering to point a certain direction. We also designed a special eyelid and an eyebrow for the windshield that lets us communicate an expressiveness that cars don't have. With The Incrediblesthe animator could get reference for the characters by shooting himself and watching the footage. Disney Pixar Cars with Carsit Disney Pixar Cars completely from any reference. Yes they're cars, Disney Pixar Cars no car can do what Disney Pixar Cars characters do. It's pure fantasy. It took a lot of trial and error to get them to look right. Lasseter also explained that the film started with pencil and paper designs, saying: "Truth to materials. Starting with pencil-and- paper designs from production designer Bob Pauley, and continuing through the modeling, articulation, and shading of the characters, and finally into animation, the production team worked hard to have the car characters remain true to their origins. He insisted on truth to materials. Disney Pixar Cars was a huge thing for him. He told us that steel needs to feel like steel. Glass should feel like glass. These cars need to feel heavy. They weigh three or four thousand pounds. When they move Disney Pixar Cars, they need to have that feel. They shouldn't appear light or overly bouncy to the point where the audience might see them as rubber toys. John kept reminding us that these characters are made of metal and they weigh several thousand pounds. They can't stretch. He showed us examples of very loose animation to illustrate what not to do. Character shading supervisor on the film Thomas Jordan explained that chrome and car paint were the main challenges on the film, saying: "Chrome and car paint were our two main challenges on this film. We started out by learning as much as we could. At the local body shop, we watched them paint a car, and we saw the way they mixed the paint and applied the various coats. We tried to dissect what goes into the real paint and recreated it in the computer. We figured out that we needed a base paint, which is where the color comes from, and the clearcoat, which provides the reflection. We were then able to add in things like metallic flake to give it a glittery sparkle, a pearlescent quality that might change color depending on the angle, and even a layer of pin-striping for characters like Ramone. Rendering lead Jessica McMackin spoke about the use of ray tracing on the film, saying: "In addition to creating accurate reflections, we used ray tracing to achieve other effects. Disney Pixar Cars were able to use this approach to create accurate shadows, like when there are multiple light sources and you want to get a feathering of shadows at the edges. Or occlusion, which is the absence of ambient light between two surfaces, like a crease in a shirt. A fourth use is irradiance. An example of this would be if you had a piece of red paper and held it up to a white wall, the light would be colored by the paper and cast a red glow on the wall. In the past, characters have never known about their environment in any way. A simulation pass was required if you wanted to make something like that happen. On Carsthis system is built into the models themselves, and as you move the car around, the vehicle sticks to the ground. It was one of those things that we do at Pixar where we knew going in that it had to be done, but we had no idea how to do it. Technical director Lisa Forsell explained that to enhance the richness and beauty of the Disney Pixar Cars landscapes surrounding Radiator Springs, the filmmakers created a department responsible for matte paintings and sky flats, saying: "Digital matte paintings are a way to get a lot of visual complexity without necessarily having to build complex geometry, and write complex shaders. We spent a lot time working on the clouds and their different formations. They tend to be on several layers and Disney Pixar Cars move relative to each other. The clouds do in fact have some character and personality. The notion was that just as people see themselves in the clouds, cars see various car-shaped clouds. The fact that so much attention is put on the Disney Pixar Cars speaks to the visual level of the film. Is there a story point? Not really. There is no pixel on the Disney Pixar Cars that does not have an extraordinary level of scrutiny and care applied to it. There is nothing that is just throw-away.
