Disney Pixar CARS: Will the 'To Protect & Serve' CARS Toon Finally Air in 2026??

Completed and scheduled in 2015, it never made it to air ... though we got die casts from both Mattel and Disney Stores back in 2015 ... will it finally air in 2026??

Since "Mike" is scheduled for release ...

"When Sheriff takes a mandatory vacation, two overzealous rookies from County take over his duties in

Radiator Springs. Bent on making a good impression to score commendations, the rookies over-do every

aspect of their jobs, finding “crimes” at every turn and turning the quiet little town into a hotbed of taped-off

crime scenes. No one is safe and everyone’s a suspect until Sheriff senses an imbalance and returns home

to right the “justice” that’s been served."

We got a great box set from Mattel back in the day ...

The Disney Store box set included a hilarious "Crime Scene" Mater we never got from Mattel ...

While the book is likely out of print, you can still pick up a copy at Amazon.

As an added bonus from the book ... the CARS with trailers are canon ... 😀

And we are definitely missing the Sheriff with Pool Noodles (while on vacation) ... customizers, start your 3D printers! 🤣

Note - while Didi is not on the poster, neither is Glow Wingo so maybe??

*No reason was ever given for the locked-in-vault status but it's presumed because of the spate of police misconduct issues at the time. and this Toon about the abuse of police power might raise issues for a CARS Toon ... so we'll see ...
