Pixar’s great animated comedy is directly inspired by real-life places and people along Route 66. “Cars” is a family film featuring the vocal talents of Owen Wilson, Paul Newman and George Carlin, and follows the journey of “Lightning McQueen” - a Nascar competitor who finds himself lost and charmed by the inhabitants of the fictional Route 66 town of “Radiator Springs”.
The soundtrack features the brilliant Rascal Flatts cover of “Life is a Highway”.
