Pixar’s Cars was the studio’s what numbered feature film?

Pixar’s Cars was the studio’s seventh feature film.

Cars was released in 2006, following Toy Story, A Bug’s Life, Toy Story 2, Monsters, Inc., Finding Nemo, and The Incredibles. That sequence places Cars as Pixar’s seventh feature-length animated production.

The film was also the final Pixar feature released under the original distribution arrangement with Disney before the companies’ acquisition agreement was completed. By the time Cars arrived, Pixar had established a strong record of commercially successful computer-animated films and distinctive original characters.

Cars introduced an entire world populated by vehicles, including Lightning McQueen, Mater, Doc Hudson, and Sally Carrera. Its success expanded into sequels, short films, merchandise, theme-park attractions, and a broader franchise. The numbered position refers to Pixar feature films, not every short, television project, or production associated with the studio.
