Who directed Pixar’s 2017 film Cars 3?

The story behind the answer

Pixar’s 2017 film Cars 3 was directed by Brian Fee.

Cars 3 marked Fee’s feature-directing debut at Pixar. He had previously worked at the studio as a storyboard artist, contributing to films including Cars and Cars 2. His familiarity with the series helped shape the film’s focus on Lightning McQueen’s changing career.

The story follows McQueen as a younger generation of racers, led by Jackson Storm, begins to dominate professional racing. He turns to Cruz Ramirez, a trainer at the Rust-eze Racing Center, and eventually discovers a new role both on and off the track.

Cars 3 premiered in the United States on June 16, 2017. John Lasseter, who directed the first Cars, was among the film’s executive producers, but Brian Fee was the credited director.
