How great has Pixar been over the years? So great that I consider
Cars
to be their least satisfying film, and it's still pretty damn good. The first official still shot from the anticipated sequel has been released, and judging by the looks of it, Lightning McQueen and Tow Mater are in for one heck of an adventure. Maybe it's me but I'm a little creeped out by the plane. Something about the eyes.
I snagged the photo from our friends over at
BleedingCool, so thanks to them! Cars 2 is set to drive into theaters on June 24th, 2011.
The story sees Lightning McQueen (Owen Wilson), his pit team and new pit boss Mater (Larry the Cable Guy) head around the world for the Race of Champions, to take place in five different countries and involve the champions of different disciplines like Formula One and rally driving. First up is a race in Tokyo, starting at Mount Fuji and heading downtown; then there's a German race through the Black Forest; then "Porto Corsa" in Italy, which is based partly on the Monte Carlo Grand Prix; then a 24-hour race around Paris and finally a thrilling climax in London, approaching Buckingham Palace (where the guards appear to be Land Rovers). However, Mater, involved in a case of mistaken identity, saves the life of a British secret agent named Finn McMissile and finds himself embroiled in the world of international espionage.
