Disney Cars 2
Exciting International Spy Thriller

The 12th Pixar feature film is a sequel to the 2006 hit Cars. Disney Cars 2 brings back familiar characters but puts them into an exciting global environment. Throw in a thrilling spy plot complete with villains and secret weapons and you've got a sequel that will keep you on your seat!

Disney Cars 2

John Lasseter Returns

Pixar's main helmsman returns to help direct his pet project. John Lasseter is a gear head in love with all things cars and he was inspired to create Disney Cars 2 when traveling the world promoting the first Cars movie.

Lasseter kept imagining how Mater would react in the different places he visited from the opposite driving of the UK to dealing with all the scooters in Italy.

Joining John Lasseter is co-director Brad Lewis, who directed Ratatouille. Additionally, Oscar award-winning Michael Giacchino, who scored Up, composes the music for Cars 2.

All in the Details

The greatest compliment this film receives is the phenomenal attention to detail in the scenery. Improved technology has shown the photorealism of water, the reflections of the lights on the cars characters and the lush details of the scenery.

Meticulous attention to the smallest things being "Car-ified" is truly a sight to behold. Big Ben in London becomes Big Bentley with grills and hood ornaments adorning the famous clock tower. "Cargoyles" ring the Notre Dame in Paris and the other ways the world has been reconstructed to accommodate a world of cars is impressive.



Disney Cars 2 Synopsis

Lightning McQueen and Mater make a trip around the globe for the "Race of Champions" to determine the world's fastest car. This big exciting race takes place in the bright neon lights of Tokyo, Japan, regal London, UK, and beautiful Italian Riviera. The imagery is stunning with meticulous attention to scenery detail.

Amidst all this, Mater inadvertently finds himself embroiled in the secret agent spy world of international espionage. Read all the details here along with some awesome screen shots from the movie:

I absolutely love all the new characters in Disney Cars 2. Newcomers Finn McMissile and Holley Shiftwell steal the show. The Lemons are fantastic and SO bad! Learn about all the Cars 2 characters along with some awesome toys you're going to love.

Here's the official trailer for Cars 2:




What About the Short Film for Cars 2?

With regard to the Pixar short film to be released with Cars 2, Toy Story 3 director Lee Unkrich has previously said, "We have announced we're going to do a short film in front of 'Cars 2' that uses the 'Toy Story' characters. We're going to keep them alive; they're not going away forever."

Pixar doesn't want to let the characters of Toy Story 3 to fade away and it's been planned to do a series of shorts over the coming years. The short film shown before Disney Cars 2 is called Toy Story Toons: Hawaiian Vacation, featuring Ken and Barbie. It's about the Toy Story gang coming together to make a vacation special for Ken and Barbie, in an unexpected way.
