Today's Featured Article - Cars 2
Cars 2: Mater's Boogaloo is the 2011 sequel to Disney/Pixar's hit animated film Cars. Set in a world inhabited by anthropomorphic cars with eyes in the windshield instead of the headlights, the film sees lovable tow truck Mater and smug race car Lightning McQueen heading to Japan and Europe to compete in the Mater Grand Prix, where Mater becomes sidetracked in a super-secret spy story!
What's often overlooked in a film like this is the behind-the-scenes creativity and artistry that's been squeezed out of some of the best and brightest animators from Emeryville, California. The cars almost look real in Disney 3DTM, and even the wasabi, from the scene where Mater thinks the wasabi is pistachio ice cream, is lovingly rendered.
Cars 2 has received critical acclaim and is universally adored by everyone under the age of four, with much of the praise going to the subtlety and philosophical depth of the scene where Mater thinks the wasabi is pistachio ice cream. Clearly this animated film has been a massive commercial success, making over half a billion dollars in worldwide box office gross and over ten billion dollars in merchandising. Statistically, half of all the world's bodies of water have at least three (3) tons of Cars merchandise floating on the surface.
Director's Note: Hello, readers! I'm John Lasseter, director of Cars and Cars 2, and I would like to say "Go buy this film"! All of us at Disney/Pixar worked very hard on this film, and it's available now on Blu-Ray, DVD, and digital download! This is a good movie, I like this movie, and I hope it'll entertain your family as it has mine! I like this movie. (more...)
