Calling all “Cars” fans! Today, 9/5, we’re celebrating everyone’s favorite #95 racer on this honorary Lightning McQueen Day – led by the racer who loves going faster than fast! 

Get ready to switch gears as we celebrate with these amazing “Cars” must-haves: 

The Track Talkers Lightning McQueen Talking Toy Car says iconic phrases from “Cars,” recognizable to fans of all ages, such as Lightning McQueen’s famous line: “KA-CHOW!” Little ones will also love the Global Racers Cup Jumping Raceway Playset. This kid-powered, crisscrossed track with a cranking booster and jumping stunt comes with two vehicle racers including Lightning McQueen and Francesco Bernoulli.  

The recently debuted, newly designed Walmart exclusive NASCAR Die-Cast Vehicles from Mattel are inspired by Lightning McQueen, as well as real NASCAR drivers! Race them on any surface, or on Mattel’s NASCAR Lane Change Race Playset.  

The 2.5-foot track set is designed to look like the Los Angeles Raceway, which fans will recognize from the first “Cars” film. This kid-powered track playset allows racers to launch the vehicles across the track to try to take the lead and win the Piston Cup! It also includes two racers: Lightning McQueen and Carstin “Ace” Dillon, named after NASCAR driver Austin Dillon. 

Adult and kid “Cars” fans alike can sport their favorite movie with raceway-inspired apparel from BoxLunch! This Lightning McQueen T-Shirt for adults shows off #95, highlighting his Piston Cup wins and memorable Rust-eze sponsorship.  

The littlest racers will be ready to hop into the driver’s seat with the adorable Cars Racing Suit for infants, featuring embroidered and printed designs inspired by the movie. 

As a bonus, it’s September, which means it’s A Pixar Celebration! All month long, we’ll celebrate this JOY-ous occasion and spotlight Pixar’s characters and films, including this summer’s blockbuster hit, “Inside Out 2,” and, ahead of its 30^th anniversary next year, “Toy Story.” 

A personal favorite of mine, the “Toy Story” films tell the stories of some of Pixar’s most beloved characters. Fans can bring home a classic Roundup Fun Woody Action Figure and Action-Chop Buzz Lightyear – just like Andy’s! Both action figures, from Mattel, say more than 30 phrases from the “Toy Story” films, and Buzz has an impressive karate-style chopping action activated by the button on his back.  

Support your favorite Pixar eatery with this Toy Story Hat from Concept One, featuring the iconic Pizza Planet logo! It’s the perfect accessory to show off your “Toy Story” fandom!  

We’re still feeling all the emotions from the recent release of “Inside Out 2” – and the next few products are sure to bring you so much joy! 

The LEGO Disney Inside Out 2 Mood Cubes from the LEGO Group help kids learn to express their emotions in a fun way. It features two cubes for decorating, with changeable mood plates, and LEGO Disney mini-doll figures of Joy and Anxiety. Speaking of Anxiety, the Shaking with Anxiety Feature Plush from Just Play will help fans work through all the feels.  

Start your day in a refreshing way with the One of a Kind 3-Step Barrier Boost Routine skincare set from Bubble Skincare. Including a gel cleanser, hydration boosting serum, and cream moisturizer, this three-step skincare kit leaves your skin—and your mood!—feeling balanced and calm.
