As clearly shown, Pixar's film Cars (2006) is more than just a movie made with the intention of being for children. There are underlying messages that the movie conveys, which allow for an examination of how religion is portrayed in the film. Through the journey of Lightning McQueen, the story helps explore how individuals can grow spiritually and morally, showing lessons that closely mirror religious teachings and practices. The use of symbols in this movie serves not only to advance the movie's plot, but also to represent how McQueen's character evolves. By comparing the differences that Cars has with respect to religion, it clearly shows how concepts found in religion, such as humility and compassion, can be communicated through media in ways that are accessible to people of all ages.
