Who directed Pixar's Cars 3, the 2017 animated sequel?

Brian Fee directed Pixar's Cars 3, the 2017 animated sequel.

Cars 3 was Fee's feature-directing debut after he worked as a storyboard artist on earlier Pixar productions, including the first two Cars films. His experience with the characters helped shape a story focused on Lightning McQueen's aging career and his response to a new generation of racers.

The film introduces Cruz Ramirez as McQueen's trainer and Jackson Storm as his technologically advanced rival. Its tone is closer to a sports drama than the international spy adventure of Cars 2.

Fee directed the film from a screenplay by Kiel Murray, Bob Peterson, and Mike Rich. Cars 3 was produced by Kevin Reher and released in June 2017, continuing Pixar's exploration of mentorship and changing ideas of success.
