Where to start with Cars

Three films in release order and a short series after them. There is nothing to untangle here, so the useful part of this page is what to leave out rather than what order to take.

  1. 1
    Cars (2006) Cars

    A racing car stuck in a town nobody visits any more, and it works completely on its own. Nothing before it.

  2. 2
    Cars 2 (2011) Cars 2

    Switches genre entirely into a spy film and follows Mater rather than Lightning, which is why it is the least liked. It still follows on directly.

  3. 3
    Cars 3 (2017) Cars 3

    Goes back to racing and to Lightning getting older, and it is the one that closes his story properly. It largely ignores the second film.

Then what? Cars on the Road is nine short episodes on Disney+ made by Pixar, set after the third film, and it is the only thing that continues the story. The two Planes films are not part of this and are covered below. The fifteen Cars Toons shorts carry nothing forward.

A suggested way in, not an official one. The full list is below — tick anything off in either place.

Sync & backup

Your progress is saved on this device automatically. To carry it to another device, move the code below.

The code holds only this franchise. The link opens the tracker with your progress already filled in — good for showing someone where you're at. The image is a picture you can keep anywhere: scan the code on it with a phone, or drag the file back in below.

Drag a SagaList image here, or .

This reads the progress stored inside the picture, so nothing has to be retyped. If the image has been through a messaging app it may have been re-encoded and lost that — scan the code on it instead, or copy the code printed along the bottom.

Restoring replaces the progress currently saved on this device for the franchise the code belongs to.
