About Disney·Pixar’s Cars 2:
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. Mater finds
himself torn between assisting Lightning McQueen in the high-profile
race and towing the line in a top-secret mission orchestrated by master
British super spy Finn McMissile (voice of Michael Caine) and the
stunning spy-in-training Holley Shiftwell (voice of Emily Mortimer).
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. The fast-paced fun includes a colorful new all-car
cast, complete with menacing villains and international racing
competitors.
John Lasseter returns to the driver’s seat to direct this follow-up to his 2006 Golden Globe®-winning Cars. Cars 2 is co-directed by Brad Lewis, producer of the Oscar®-winning film Ratatouille, and produced by visual effects industry veteran Denise Ream (associate producer, Up; visual effects executive producer, Star Wars: Episode III — Revenge of the Sith). The film hits the track on June 24, 2011 and will be presented in Disney Digital 3D™ and IMAX® 3D in select theaters.
