In Pixar's Cars, who directed Lightning McQueen's first feature film adventure?

John Lasseter directed Pixar's Cars, Lightning McQueen's first feature film adventure.

Lasseter directed the film with Joe Ranft and co-directed it with Dan Fogelman. He was a major creative leader at Pixar and had previously directed Toy Story, A Bug's Life, and Toy Story 2. Cars marked his move into a story centered on anthropomorphic vehicles and American road culture.

The film follows Lightning McQueen after he becomes separated from his transport truck and accidentally reaches Radiator Springs. His rivalry with Chick Hicks and friendship with the town's residents shape the plot around the Piston Cup championship.

Brad Bird directed The Incredibles and Ratatouille, Pete Docter directed Monsters, Inc. and Up, and Andrew Stanton directed Finding Nemo and WALL-E. Those filmmakers are all associated with Pixar, but none directed Cars.
