At the Cars 2 media event held in conjunction with the NY Toy Fair, John Lasseter could not make an in-person appearance due to his directing duties. However, he sent a videotaped message apologizing for missing the show. He also spoke in-depth about the origins of the Cars 2 story, explaining how Finn McMissile’s character actually existed behind the scenes of the original Cars. The Pixar Times attended the event, so we were able to view it last month. Now, Disney Living has posted the video on Youtube and we have embedded it below so you can view it as well!
