At one point or another, many boys and girls dream about a life lived behind the wheel of a race car. While Mom might have some car safety tips and car travel tips in mind that could quickly put an end to these plans, little kids continue to be fascinated by automobiles designed for speed and fun. Here are some of the best kids' movies about cars.

On his way to the Piston Cup, Lightning finds himself stranded in the dusty, desert town of Radiator Springs due to damage he caused to the main road. While he works to correct his mistake in time for the race, he also discovers some new friendships in the local automobiles, according to IMDB.

Amid shady corporate intrigue and the past death of his older brother, the titular Speed Racer attempts to win a deadly cross-country car rally known as The Crucible, IMDB reports.
