Who says TOY STORY is the only Pixar film worthy of sequels? Next summer we’ll get a Part 2 to the Disney/Pixar smash hit CARS, which takes the beloved wheeled heroes on an international adventure – appropriately titled CARS 2. Owen Wilson and Larry the Cable Guy are back, along with John Ratzenberger and (so far just rumored on IMDB) Bonnie Hunt. They’ll be joined by Michael Caine, which is fitting since the first film featured a classic acting legend in the form of the late, great Paul Newman. John Lasseter is co-directing with Brad Lewis, and the film is set for a June 2011 release. Are you excited to see the CARS characters return?
Plot synopsis:
Star racecar Lightning McQueen (voice of Owen Wilson) and the incomparable tow truck Mater (voice of Larry the Cable Guy) take their friendship to exciting new places in “Cars 2” when they head overseas to compete in the first-ever World Grand Prix to determine the world’s fastest car. But the road to the championship is filled with plenty of potholes, detours and hilarious surprises when Mater gets caught up in an intriguing adventure of his own: international espionage. Torn between assisting Lightning McQueen in the high-profile race and towing the line in a top-secret spy mission, Mater’s action-packed journey leads him on an explosive chase through the streets of Japan and Europe, trailed by his friends and watched by the whole world. Adding to the fast-paced fun is a colorful new all-car cast that includes secret agents, menacing villains and international racing competitors.
