Cars 2 Gets Summer 2011 Release Date

Wes Siler — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 12:40:00 EDT

Disney and Pixar have moved the release date for Cars 2 to Summer 2011 from 2012. While no reason was given for the change, we’re guessing the filmmakers' trend consultants forecasted cars in general going out of fashion the following year. Brad Lewis (Antz, Ratatouille) will be directing the film, which will take inspiration from cars that John Lasseter (Pixar’s chief creative officer) saw while doing the round-the-world promotional tour for the original film. Can’t wait 'till then for a taste of annoyingly cute anthropomorphic vehicles? There are a series of "Cars Toons" coming both to theaters and the Disney Channel in the near future.

Lightning McQueen and his crew of badass cars will be coming back in 2012, and in 3D to boot. So load up the kids, get ready for a nauseating movie that'll force you to wear funny glasses and prepare for a sequel that will further introduce children to the trials and tribulations of animated stock car racing.

Pixar Moving Ahead with 'Cars 2'?

Davey G. Johnson — Thu, 12 Jul 2007 16:15:00 EDT

We shamelessly loved last year's Cars, and while it wasn't Pixar's most commercially-successful venture, there was something for practically every gearhead in the flick. According to statements apparently made by Paul Newman at the Indianapolis 500, it sounds as if the Emeryville studio is looking at dropping the new film in 2009, with a Cars short appearing before next year's Wall*E. But if we may make a plea to the Pixars, please, please, please ditch Jack Johnson and give us more Randy Newman. That is all. More »
