Lightning Love: Our Favourite Characters from Disney/Pixar’s Cars 3

From popular stalwarts to all new additions, the characters in Disney/Pixar’s Cars 3 are sure to rev your little one’s engine, mama!

As you’ve probably read mama, we are all revved up to watch Disney/Pixar’s Cars 3! Packed with new gen cars and unexpected twists on Piston Cup Racing’s biggest stage ever, this is a story about fighting against all odds. A blockbuster in the making, Disney/Pixar’s Cars 3 promises super-fast cars, gripping race sequences and fab characters – both new and old! We took a look at the roster of stars in this threequel and have picked out our faves; browse through the gallery and tell us if you agree!

The world-champion racer and a firm favourite with toddlers, Lightning McQueen had to make it to the top of our list! With five Piston Cup wins under his hood, he now finds himself facing a new generation of racers who are fast, super-cool and threatening his number one spot. Watch as #95 races back to attempt to claim his champion title, with more than a little help from his friends!

PSSST! With adorable backpacks, lunch kits and bedding sets, there’s plenty of fun Lightning McQueen merchandise available in Singapore to satisfy even the biggest little fans!

We love that Disney/Pixar has introduced a female tech-savvy technician – what a great role model for our little girls, mama! Cruz Ramirez is an unconventional trainer at the Rust-eze Racing Centre who expertly arms the team’s rookies with cutting-edge tools to get ahead in the racing game. Tasked with getting Lightning McQueen back on track, Cruz uses technology, enthusiasm and a bit of tough love to help the ageing racer secure his spot as champion again.

Need proof of Cruz’s powers? The Demolition Derby Cars 3 game (amongst other fun options) will have you rooting for her soon enough!

Fast, sleek and ready to win, this next-gen racer is a frontrunner who exudes quiet confidence and a rather brash demeanor. Trained on high-tech simulators that are programmed to perfect technique and velocity, Jackson Storm knows he is built to be unbeatable! We can’t wait to watch him as the villain whose unmatched speed threatens to take over the leading spot from Lightning McQueen.

Junior racer in the making? Get your little ones to try the Cars: Lightning League App and see how they whizz through the race track collecting new speedsters like Jackson Storm and Cruz Ramirez!

Disney/Pixar’s Cars 3 welcomes back Lightning’s best buddy, Tow Mater, the lovable, rusty and trustworthy tow truck who’s always there for his best buddy. Whether he’s helping McQueen recover from a crash or helping out with Jackson Storm and his new speed record, Tow is around to provide several ‘aww’ moments of bestie fun!

Miss Tow Mater and his cute antics? There are a few games featuring Mater himself, including the super-engaging Mater’s Memory Game that your kiddos can enjoy online.

Remember crowd favourite Sally Carrera — the beautiful baby-blue Porsche from Los Angeles who fell in love with the life in Radiator Springs? Charming and witty, she then became the town attorney and also Lightning McQueen’s girlfriend. Sally returns in Disney/Pixar’s Cars 3 and cheers Lightning through the races along with best bud Mater. She also becomes the voice of motivation for him when he is depressed after his crash – the best nudge a guy can get!

Get some off-screen time with Cars characters too. Print out one of the many fun colouring sheets including one of Sally and let your kids colour away!

Can’t wait any longer? Race now to the closest cinema to watch Disney/Pixar’s Cars 3 with your little ones, mama!
