It seems that all your favorite animated automobiles will be back in theaters sooner than we thought. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Cars 2 will be driving up to theaters in 2011.
The sequel was originally slated for a 2012 release, but Pixar's John Lassetter said at a Disney event today that the film has been moved up a year. Lassetter also said that Brad Lewis, who produced Antz and Ratatouille, will make his direcotrial debut and that the film will be inspired by cars all over the world that Lassetter saw while doing press for Cars.
Lassetter also said that an animated series of cartoons dubbed Cars Toons will be airing on The Disney Channel, with the possibility of becoming a feature of its own. The first toon to air will be entitled Mater's Tall Tales, featuring the tow-truck character from the first film, voiced by Larry the Cable Guy.
It's probably been pushed back. This is going to get rather annoying, although it is brilliant for making money. I was talking to one of my friends who has a kid who hasn't even seen Cares yet but his birthday list (which is this weekend) is overflowing with things he wasn't from Cars. I'm not even sure if the DVD is included on the list, lol. At least I have a very easy idea of what to get him.

I agree-sequels of all movies tend to not be as good as the original, and (yeah, just my opinion I know )I think that shows a lot with the disney movies. I'd rather just see something unique rather than trying to recreate the magic.
Since Paul Newman passed away, I wonder if they'll have to eliminate Doc Hudson's character. Just like for Toy Story 3, they can't have the slinky dog cause Jim Varney died some years ago.
Disney Channel died when they stopped airing movies with Haley mills (Parent Trap and Pollyanna) and fun adventure movies like Swiss Family Robinson. R.I.P. the REAL Disney Channel. Date of Death: When the shows became teenie bopperish.
Very sad to hear that Newman had died-I hadn't even thought of his voicing Doc when I heard. He was one of my favourite characters, in my daughter's favourite movie

I was just about to come in here and say that, lol.
[quote"Disney-Fan"]I love Pixar, honestly, but can anyone else here say "unnecessary"? Of all the sequels to be made...
UNNECESSARY!
And I agree. Of all the sequels to be made...they picked Cars???
Where's my A Bug's Life 2, dammit?!?

They should.
I'm sure the filmmakers will retire the character out of respect for the actors.

Now I have a question (not sure if its been asked before but if so...and sorry if it's off topic a bit...
What will they/possibly do for the Voice Cast of Toy Story 3 for the voices of Slinky Dog and Wheezer (the squeeky toy penguin from Toy Story 2 ) since the actors of them passed away...??

That would make for a very emotional scene. By the end of the movie Doc Hudson became an inspiration for Lightning. If in the second movie they acknowledge that Doc Hudson passed away it would make for good character development. Lighting now has the teachings of his mentor to guide him on.
...But knowing Disney they will likely hire another actor to do the voice. Death doesn't stop corporations sadly . It depends on how well the Fillmore and Doc toys sold and see if they can bring them back.
I admit I am being morbid and cynical here (ironic, no?), Pixar could keep this in respect of the actors. But to the Disney side as long as there's someone out there that sounds like Paul Newman and George Carlin the characters are alive and well.

Perhaps it could be....like....Doc and Filmore's engine's gave out and was not able to be repaired or something to that effect...

A new voice for Doc would just totally turn me off the movie. It would be the final straw, the thing that meant that there would be no way I would buy.
