Afterwards, he held a press conference to talk about the next Disney Pixar slate of films including a lot more details regarding CARS2. Here’s what we’ve got […]

During SDCC, John Lasseter accidentially was pushed into the TakeFive gypsy cab and was forced to answer trivia questions such as – what’s up with A113 thing? John Lasseter Q&A What Does A113 Mean? Uploaded by disneypixar Okay, that’s not entirely true 🙂 (aka: not true at all 🙂  ). The truth actually is … […]

The Pixar “Incredibles” release contained the CARS “preview trailer” on the DVD. On the surface of it, it seems quite non-canonical with “McQueen” sporting a Corrosion Seal sponsor and wearing the #57 … Plus a lot of oddball sponsors: Papa Rivera’s Low Fat Lard (Blue CAR) (Thanks, “BMW”) Corrosion Seal #57 (Red CAR) Jumbo Pretzels […]
