Which studio animated Pixar's Cars movies?

Pixar Animation Studios animated Pixar's Cars movies.

Pixar developed the Cars franchise in partnership with Walt Disney Pictures, which distributed the theatrical films. The original Cars was released in 2006, followed by Cars 2 in 2011 and Cars 3 in 2017. Pixar also produced Cars on the Road for Disney+.

The franchise is distinctive within Pixar's catalog because its characters are anthropomorphic vehicles rather than people, animals, or toys. Its world contains racing cars, tow trucks, buses, tractors, and other vehicles, while people are absent from the stories. The films use computer-generated animation to create reflective metal surfaces, glass, headlights, and large racing environments.

Pixar began as a computer-graphics division associated with Lucasfilm before becoming an independent company and later a Disney subsidiary. The studio's earlier films, including Toy Story and Finding Nemo, established its reputation for combining technical innovation with emotionally focused storytelling. Cars extended that approach into automotive design and American road culture.
