  How does 6A work? Does "no runtime" give OS somehow?

    Yeah, it's meant to be "Pixar movie with no runtime" = "0s (zero seconds) Cars." Admittedly a bit stretchy since it's cluing the entire wordplay as one thing, rather than breaking it up into O + S + CARS.

  for 5A, where is the "I" and "MAW" coming from?

    "the first" = I (as in James I, etc.), "Big Mouth" = MAW (synonyms)
