'Radiator Springs 500 1/2' Will Air on the Disney Channel Tonight

In case you missed Pixar's latest Cars Toon when it premiered on Disney Movies Anywhere last May, you can catch Radiator Springs 500 1/2 tonight on the Disney Channel at 7:55 P.M. (Eastern Standard Time). Here's a clip that was just released by Pixar's YouTube channel from the short film.

The official synopsis reads: A 'leisurely drive' planned in honor of Radiator Springs’ town founder, Stanley, turns precarious as Baja pros descend on the town and challenge Lightning McQueen to an off-road race. Meanwhile, the townsfolk, led by a Stanley-costumed Mater, enjoy the planned 'leisurely drive' to retrace Stanley’s original frontier route. Thinking they’re on the same course, a wrong turn sends McQueen and the Baja pros on a treacherously wild bid for survival. The misunderstanding leaves the racing professionals in awe of the 'legend' of Stanley: the Original Off-Road Racer. "RS 500 1/2" is directed by Rob Gibbs, who was a story artist for several other Cars Toons and movies including Toy Story 2 and Monsters Inc.

Watch it tonight on the Disney Channel!

The next Cars Toon from the Tales from Radiator Springs series is called To Protect and Serve (@ThePixarTimes). It will be out sometime later this year.
