A New Cars YouTube Series Is Coming for the Film's 20th Anniversary

Pixar is celebrating the 20th anniversary of Cars with an exciting new documentary-style YouTube series inspired by the real-life Route 66. During a special presentation at the Walt Disney Family Museum, Cars Creative Director Jay Ward revealed that Pixar recently traveled the entire length of Historic Route 66 to film a new series. Rather than focusing only on the movie, the project explores the real people, places, and stories that inspired Radiator Springs and helped shape the world of Cars.

The series will highlight iconic Route 66 landmarks, local communities, and the passionate individuals who continue to preserve the history and spirit of America's most famous highway. According to Jay Ward, the goal is to reconnect fans with the authentic locations and personalities that influenced the original film.

The YouTube series is expected to premiere in September 2026, making it one of the major celebrations of the film's 20th anniversary.

For Cars fans, this promises to be a fascinating behind-the-scenes journey into the real world that inspired Lightning McQueen, Mater, Radiator Springs, and many other beloved characters.
