To Protect and Serve is the cancelled sixteenth short in the Cars Toons series, and the fifth in the Tales from Radiator Springs sub-series. While Pixar stated that it would air sometime in 2015 (ten years ago),[1] and co-director Rob Gibbs has passed away since the announcement of the short, (five years ago in 2020) because of these reasons, the short has most likely been cancelled. Despite this, merchandise (including die-cast models and books) relating to the short have been released and were on store shelves.
