Mattel Disney Pixar Diecast CARS: CARS2 Small News

Slight update and info in regards to CARS2 … from Digital Spy.

“For Cars 2, the whole Radiator Springs gang will hit the open road.

“It’s Radiator Springs, and then the characters go to other places as well,” Lasseter said.”

As for the character of Doc Hudson?

“Lasseter is faced with the dilemma of repurposing earlier recordings of Newman to keep him in the sequel or just letting him go out of respect.

“We haven’t really [addressed it yet],” Lasseter said in a group interview today in Beverly Hills, Calif., after a press conference for the upcoming animated release Ponyo. “We’re still working on that.”

And from the first press conference?

“Racing star Lightning McQueen teams up with his best friend Mater for an international adventure as they go up against the world’s fastest cars.”

June 24, 2011.

In Disney 3D.

Thanks for the heads up & link, “Jeaks.”

    I wonder if they’ll re-release Cars in 3D like they’re doing to Toy Story?

  • collectormom says:

    Will there be a non 3-D version of this movie released at the same time? My kids don’t sit too well for 3-D; they don’t like wearing the glasses (they’re too big?). It would be nice if they made kid size 3-D glasses for a kids movie

    • Ensign Eddie says:

      So far, all of the Disney 3D movies have also been released to non-3D theaters (that’s how I saw both “Bolt” and “Up”).

      (MET: Yes, CARS2 is in 3D and they are going back to 3D all the Toy Story movies (re-releases begin soon) but no word if CARS1 will get the “re-do” treatment … maybe when CARS 3 comes out in 2014 πŸ™‚ ).

    if you have enough time on your hands to troll through all the Youtube garbage spouting to be Cars 2 trailers there is one that holds my interest. I’m not sure what one it is but it does have lots of screenshots from Cars 1.(they all do and that’s what makes them rubbish). HOWEVER, there is 1 that has some screenshots mixed in of other Cars I have never seen that look awesome. There is a yellow lambourgini thing and a funny looking hot rod too.

  • Samuel says:

    Funny enough, we’ve had this discussion in our family before and although you can’t replace Paul Newman’s voice (or love of racing, etc) for voice alone I think Sam Elliott could provide a decent substitute if they decided to go that route.

    • John in Missouri says:

      They could always cut and paste his spoken words from all of his movies to create his lines for Cars 2.

      • 5oclockshadow says:

        maybe they will start the movie with a pan of Radiator Springs, and there beside Stanley’s statue are 3 new statues……. the Screamin Banshee came to town, and it wasn’t pretty…..

        • indy says:

          Speaking about Stanley!
          Now there is one story I would love to have told about how he met Lizzie and founded Radiator Springs!
          Really thought this would be one of the storytellers stories but no!Maybe in the future?
          With offcourse the end result A diecast Stanley!I want!!!
          About the Banshee maybe in the Disneystore line like Frank!
          Nothing bad about the one available with the mini Mater but full size diecast would be more like it!
          About our past away Cars I think it is very difficult to bring up the subject of death in A childrens movie,I think they really have A hard time how to deal with this at Pixar!
          Especially their personal emotions on this after all Joe Ranft(Red)was one off the founders of Pixar!I wish them strength and my love!
          Wonder if they have A cemetery at Radiator Springs!

  • indy says:

    I love Doc and Paul Newman is Holy but did everyone forget about Fillmore and Red(not that he really says much) what will happen with their voices?
    These 2 Gods also passed away sadly enough!

  • Ace Diamondrunner says:

    Hopefully Doc will hold the Radiator Springs fort down while the others are away, otherwise it might seem like “Weekend at Doc’s”

    Or maybe they can get Robert Redford.

  • Gary says:

    My sister is law works for a big clothing company who sell Disney licenced stuff. She had a meeting at Disney last week. She claims to have seen the trailer of Princes and the frog and CARS 2! So if the trailer is ready, maybe we can expect to be teased sometime soon…

  • jestrjef says:

    I think it will be very interesting to see how the whole Doc thing plays out. I guess if he has a limited roll, it would be easy to piece together a few things for him, otherwise . . . who knows.

    • Steve AKA: Poppa says:

      Well, the studio can splice together sentences from word fragments from Cars I. If the crew takes off for Europe, Doc Hudson can transform into Herr Doktor with a German accent.

    • John in Missouri says:

      Didn’t Paul Newman record additional material for Pixar? Or would that have just been for “Mater and the Ghostlight”?

  • John in Missouri says:

    Maybe they will actually count the number of racers this time and release them all!

  • kevin roche says:

    this means a new set of race cars..how many this time..
    start saving now, its going to be a big one.
