Pixar's Cars on the Road consists of nine short episodes.
The Disney+ series follows Lightning McQueen and Mater as they travel across the United States to attend Mater's sister's wedding. Each installment presents a separate encounter, and the episodes vary in genre and visual approach while maintaining the franchise's vehicle-based world.
Cars on the Road premiered on September 8, 2022. It was created by Steve Purcell and produced by Pixar Animation Studios. The series brought Owen Wilson and Larry the Cable Guy back as the English-language voices of Lightning McQueen and Mater.
The episode count is sometimes confused with the number of feature films in the franchise or with later streaming-series totals from other Pixar properties. Cars on the Road is a collection of nine short-form episodes, rather than a theatrical movie divided into chapters. Its structure allows the characters to visit several unusual settings without requiring one continuous feature-length plot.
