Disney+ released Pixar's Cars on the Road.
The animated series premiered on Disney+ on September 8, 2022. It follows Lightning McQueen and Mater on a road trip across the United States as they travel east to attend Mater's sister's wedding. Each episode uses a different genre or premise, allowing the series to move beyond the traditional Piston Cup storyline.
Owen Wilson and Larry the Cable Guy returned as the voices of McQueen and Mater. The series consists of nine short episodes, and its anthology structure includes settings and situations such as prehistoric imagery, haunted attractions, and monster-truck competition. Cars on the Road is a Pixar production made for streaming, rather than a theatrical feature film. Its release on Disney+ also aligned with Disney's annual Disney+ Day event in 2022.
