The announcement came on June 9, exactly 20 years after Cars first raced into theaters in 2006. Pixar shared the news on social media alongside a nostalgic video celebrating the characters, memorable moments, and iconic locations that helped turn Radiator Springs into one of animation’s most beloved destinations. From Lightning McQueen and Mater to Sally and Doc Hudson, the film introduced a cast of characters that continues to fuel a passionate fanbase two decades later.
