Disney Cruise Line passengers are among the first to see ‘Cars,’ the latest film from Disney and Pixar. The animated movie features the voices of Paul Newman and Owen Wilson.

Both Disney Magic and Disney Wonder held a screening just after the stroke of midnight today, the official release date of the film. There will be additional showings on board.

Passengers sailing on both ships will get commemorative buttons and trading cards for two weeks after the release of ‘Cars’ and will have the opportunity to win prizes by participating in activities themed to the film.

During the June 10 Disney Magic cruise, Bobby Podesta, a Pixar animator who worked on ‘Cars,’ will give presentations and will introduce a showing of the film.
