Sheryl Crow Revs Up 'Cars: Lightning Racers' Ahead of 2027 Debut

Disney Jr. made a splash at the D23 Fan Expo weekend festivities in Anaheim, California. The event was a celebration of fun, educational, and safe entertainment for preschoolers. One of the highlights of the event was a surprise performance by singer Sheryl Crow.

Crow performed her new song 'Built to Last' from the upcoming Disney Jr. series 'Cars: Lightning Racers'. This is part of the 20th anniversary celebration of the original 'Cars' movie, and it marks Crow's return to the franchise after writing and performing new music for the series.

'Cars: Lightning Racers' will debut on Disney Jr. and stream on Disney+ in 2027. The series follows Lightning McQueen and his friends as they go on all-new racing adventures in Radiator Springs. Many of the original voice cast members from the 'Cars' movie will reprise their roles, including Owen Wilson as Lightning McQueen.

Additionally, Marvel's Spidey and his Amazing Friends has been greenlit for a historic seventh season on Disney Jr. and Disney+. This preschool megahit has been streamed nearly 1.3 billion hours globally on Disney+, making it Marvel's most-watched TV series on the platform.
