Disney Pixar CARS 3: Blu Ray DVD Out Today
The Disney Pixar CARS 3 Blu Ray DVD is coming out today.
There’s a fun behind the scenes look at the graphic design elements of the sponsors in CARS World
And an ad for Miss Fritter’s Driving School
Our previous Behind the Scenes post.
Why are they no longer producing Cars shorts? Mater Tales? Protect and Serve would have been very welcome on that DVD/BluRay/Digital. What is happening with all this?… I would not have been surprised if the surprise was to find a short about Road Trip to explain the story behind that mysterious release (incomplete by the way) last year… What a curious parallel universe Cars is would say Doc Brown…
I know what the best Cars3 diecast is going to be: end credits mater covered with Rust-Eze red and gold foil
No 3D version again???
In the bonus BlueRay, make sure to view the clip titled “Cars to die(cast) for” if it is included in your version. There’s a special appearance, I won’t say more……
I was expecting like a bunch of new cars items into an aisle display or end cap to underline the movie… no…. nothing.
The Walmart exclusive may be the only way to get the Radiator Springs 500½ short on DVD other than the large scale McQueen model released in 2014.

So I believe if you buy it from Target today you get a free book with the DVD, I don’t believe anyone else has any ‘extras’ like that?
I remember when Cars 1 was released, I had bought the Walmart 2-pack to get the Rascal Flatts DVD with it, and Best Buy had the neat 4 Car diecast packaging and a lenticular poster (which I still have).
