Who directed Pixar's Cars 3, released in 2017?

Brian Fee directed Pixar's Cars 3, released in 2017.

Cars 3 marked Fee's feature-directing debut. He had previously worked at Pixar as a storyboard artist, contributing to films including Cars, Cars 2, and WALL-E. His experience with the series helped shape a story about Lightning McQueen confronting a younger generation of high-performance racers.

The film premiered in the United States on June 16, 2017. Jackson Storm, a technologically advanced rookie, becomes McQueen's main rival, while Cruz Ramirez serves as a trainer who develops into an important racing partner.

Cars 3 returns to the more personal, racing-centered approach of the original film after the globe-trotting spy story of Cars 2. The voice cast includes Owen Wilson, Cristela Alonzo, Armie Hammer, and Bonnie Hunt. Brian Fee later directed animated projects outside the Cars series, but Cars 3 remains his first feature film as director.
