CARS 2 is opening in the US on June 24, 2011 … Internationally, it does not all open on June 24, 2011 but in the US, this date is firm and correct. Do not believe some random rumor based on incorrect info. Here is what happened. On a conference call last summer, Disney CEO Robert […]

“Andrew T.” sends us his nice finds from the only continent-country, Australia. The latest listed lenticulars have arrived in Australia … well, they are closer to the factories but maybe it’s the changing Earth’s magnetic fields (run for your lives! … or outrun everything in a tiny propeller plane like in the film, 2012). Another […]
