Pixar animated feature about Lightning McQueen (with the voice of Owen Wilson), a cocky, ambitious rookie race car that crashes into the sleepy Route 66 town of Radiator Springs, destroying the main street. Sentenced to community service, the hotshot gets to know the town's offbeat characters and learns that there's pleasure in the journey, not just getting there. Also with the voices of Paul Newman, Bonnie Hunt, Cheech Marin and Larry the Cable Guy. Directed by John Lasseter & Joe Ranft. [1:56]

► A car drives off a road, breaks through barbed wire, crashes into a statue, wraps it up in the wire and drags it, the statue is caught in telephone cables, it is flung back, and the car hangs upside down from the cables and we see that a road has been completely torn up.
► A car bumps into another car during a race, it then bumps another car causing it to blow a tire, another car runs into a wall, another spins out onto grass, and another one is knocked off the road (we see this car completely crumpled).
► Cars race along a speedway, one car skids off the side of the track, another is pushed against a wall, several others crash and spin out, one flips, another one flips and lands on the roof of another, and one jumps over the others (we see several cars crumpled up after the crashes).
