The world of animated movies has given us some unforgettable characters and stories over the years, but few have left as big a tire track on our hearts as Pixar’s “Cars” franchise.

With three films under its hood, it has left a huge impact. In this article, we’ll talk about the background of the “Cars” series, and the story so far, and explore the potential release of “Cars 4.”

What We Know About Cars 4 Right Now

The Story So Far:

Kids and adults alike are patiently waiting for Cars 4, the series has been developed so well that the anticipation is killing all of us. The journey of self-discovery and the pursuit of our dreams are timeless themes that resonate with audiences of all ages.

The “Cars” franchise made its debut in 2006 with the release of the first film, aptly titled “Cars.” Directed by John Lasseter, the movie introduced us to Lightning McQueen, a hotshot race car voiced by Owen Wilson, who ends up in a forgotten town called Radiator Springs.

The cocky race car eventually falls in love with the small town after spending time with its residents and gets humbled. He learns the value of friendship and community, setting the tone for the heart-warming and visually stunning series that was to come.

In 2011, “Cars 2” took Lightning McQueen and his trusty friend, Mater, on a globe-trotting adventure filled with espionage and international intrigue. It shifted the focus from the small town to the international stage of the World Grand Prix. Despite the shifted focus, the theme of the movie remained the same, friendship, self-discovery, and the idea that being true to oneself is more important than trying to fit in.

Lightning McQueen finds himself competing against the world’s fastest cars in a series of races set in Tokyo, Porto Corsa, and London. The movie may not have reached the same heights as its predecessor in terms of critical acclaim, but it offers a different kind of adventure. “Cars 2” is an entertaining detour that offers fun and action-packed rides for kids and adults.

Finally, “Cars 3” brought the series back to its roots, focusing on McQueen’s journey to prove that he still had what it takes to compete with the new generation of high-tech racers. The series introduced a new character, Cruz Ramirez who instantly became a fan favorite. Her character development and the dynamic between her and McQueen provided the emotional core of the film.

Lightning’s journey of self-discovery and mentorship is both touching and relatable. The film consisted of top-notch cinematography and storytelling and of course, the emotional scene of McQueen passing the torch to the new gen of racers.

The Latest News About Cars 4:

After the release of Cars on the Road, many people have been waiting to hear news about Cars 4 release date, but so far not much is known about it. There has been no recent news about the Cars 4 release date, however, Owen Wilson did comment during a press tour for Cars 3, that he’d be up for another entry.

Despite the fact that the series has been a huge success for Pixar, it doesn’t make sense why they aren’t releasing Cars 4, it doesn’t do the franchise justice that no news has come out since Car 3’s release. However, fans should keep in mind that with the release of Cars on the Road, and other shorts and spinoffs, there is some hope that Cars 4 will come out eventually. Nothing has been officially confirmed on Cars 4.

Another important piece of news is that the producer from Pixar commented that the company is focusing on developing original projects. Considering with Cars 3, Lightning McQueen’s racing career came to an end, there is a possibility that it was the last movie and there won’t be a Cars 4.

Cars 4 – Story & Details:

Considering that there is no recent news about the Cars 4 release date, it’s hard for us to know when it might be released or if it might be released. But let us talk about the potential story and details of the movie. When Cars 3 was released, the producers started talking about Cars 4, and there had been a string of potential theories about the storyline of Cars 4.

Back in 2017, the producers commented on the potential sequel of Cars, and said, “As long as there’s a good story to tell it’s worth investing, we do love these characters, we love them as much as the public does”. With that said, Owen Wilson has also talked about a possible return for the protagonist Lightning McQueen.

The Pixar movie Cars rank very high, and the Cars toys and merchandise profits are among the studio’s highest. With fans tweeting constantly at Pixar to produce Cars 4, we need not worry. Pixar knows that Cars 4 will do great in the box office.

So, if Cars 4 does come out, what will be the story? Here’s our best guess, considering in the end of Cars 3, Lightning McQueen passed the mantel to Cruz Ramirez, and she took the spot in the final race, this does prove that McQueen’s racing career has ended.

So, maybe in Cars 4, we’ll see him take the role of a coach. And maybe we’ll see him and Mater (Lightning McQueen’s best friend) explore the verse of Cars and go on a journey.

Right now, it is impossible to say which route the writers will take as there is no official information about the sequel. So, fingers crossed, but we do hope that Cars 4 will be released soon as it’s a fan favorite.

Final Thoughts:

With Cars 4’s release unconfirmed the best thing the fans can do is tweet at Pixar and comment on other posts for the production of the sequel. It’s a fan-favorite series, that is liked by audiences of all ages. In the meantime, if you are missing the series a lot, you can rewatch the movies and there is a newly released show “Cars on the Road” that will keep you company till Cars 4 gets released.

If you like movies like Cars, there are spin-offs you can watch, Planes and Planes: Fire & Rescue. Despite the fact that there is no recent news about the release of Cars 4, Pixar has hinted in the past about the storyline continuing after Cars 3. However, whether Cars 4 updates ever arrive, it does seem that Pixar is continuously releasing new movies to keep their audiences company.
