Actors lending their voices to the stereoscopic 3D animation include: Owen Wilson, John Ratzenberger, Tony Shalhoub, Cheech Marin, Bonnie Hunt and Larry The Cable Guy. John Lasseter directs along with Brad Lewis as co-director and Denise Ream producing.
Pixar chooses themes that resonate with the world so well... Aging (UP), Toys (TOY STORY) and of course CARS to name a few. The opportunities are boundless to transcend the original stories with allow us to grow with the characters. Again TOY STORY comes to mind. As cars are toys for big boys - I think it is safe to assume that the appeal is going to be amazing!
Here's the official storyline:
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.
CARS 2 wheels into theaters on June 24, 2011. If you haven't seen the teaser trailer yet, check it out here.
