A spy theme with menacing villains, a colorful cast of cars, boats, planes and trains, characterize CARS 2, Pixar’s 12th full length animated action adventure feature, directed by Academy Award winner John Lasseter.
Lively and humorous, it is the most technically challenging Pixar movie to date, with detailed state of the art, eye popping visuals, and front-row car racing views at the World Grand Prix.
Race car star Lighting McQueen (voice of Owen Wilson) and his best friend tow truck Mater (voice of Larry the Cable Guy) are ensnared in an intriguing international espionage orchestrated by master British spy Finn McMissile (voice of Michael Caine) and the rookie field spy Holley Shiftwell (voice of Emily Mortimer). The action packed journey leads Mater to an explosive spy chase through the streets of Japan, Italy, France and England.
Among the returning cast are Larry the Cable Guy, whose character Mater takes center stage in CARS 2, and Owen Wilson who displays his trademark drawl and personality. John Turturro, as the fierce race competitor Francesco Bernoulli, gives the character just the right amount of Italian bravado, while the film's coolest spy car, Fin McMissile, transforms itself into a hydrofoil and a submarine, and climbs up steel walls through its wheels' steel magnets.
Fans would particularly like the cameo appearances of real life Formula 1 racing champions Lewis Hamilton and NASCAR racer Jeff Gordon who add a touch of authenticity.
With Michael Giacchino's swift score, CARS 2 carries a message about friendship, it is fun and beautiful to watch.
