What is the running time of Pixar's Cars, rounded to the nearest minute?

Pixar's Cars has a running time of 117 minutes.

The film runs for 1 hour and 57 minutes, making it one of Pixar's longer early features. Its length accommodates several connected storylines: Lightning McQueen's race for the Piston Cup, his forced stay in Radiator Springs, the town's history, and his growing relationship with Sally Carrera and Doc Hudson.

Cars was directed by John Lasseter and released in 2006. The production required extensive digital environments for roads, desert landscapes, racing venues, and the detailed town of Radiator Springs. The film's visual design also depended on animating expressive anthropomorphic vehicles without human characters.

Running times can vary slightly in listings because of rounding or differences in how credits are counted. The standard published runtime for Cars is 117 minutes. This is not the same as Cars 2, which runs for 106 minutes, or Cars 3, which runs for 102 minutes.
