Disney and Pixar\u2019s Cars<\/em> will return to theaters on September 4 to celebrate the film\u2019s 20th anniversary.<\/p>\n

The date coincides with Lightning McQueen Day, observed on September 5 each year by those who celebrate in recognition of the character\u2019s racing number, 95. Disney is marking the anniversary with a year-long slate of promotions, including Route 66 screenings, museum exhibitions, motorsports activations, branded simulator experiences, and integrations across several games.<\/p>\n

John Lasseter directed the film with Joe Ranft, and Darla K. Anderson produced it, with original music by Pixar favorite Randy Newman. It earned two Academy Award nominations and launched a long-running Pixar franchise.<\/p>\n
