Pixar's Cars turns 20 today, marking two decades since Lightning McQueen crashed into Radiator Springs after the film's June 9, 2006 release. Backstage Studios published a video retrospective, and cinemas, creators, and artists have added anniversary screenings, retrospectives, fan art, and personal tributes honoring the film. The milestone matters because Cars spawned two sequels, extensive merchandise and a theme park land, and helped foreground Americana and small-town themes in family animation.
