A Glimpse At Three New Cars 2 Characters [UPDATE]

January 24, 2011 by Samad Rizvi 2 Comments

Disney/Pixar has just posted images of three brand new characters that will be seen on the racetrack in Cars 2. From the looks of it, they will probably be competing against Lightning McQueen in the different races located around the world.

The images are not hi-res and the characters do not have descriptions just yet. The Cars Showcase on the Cars 2 Facebook page, which was the source of these images, has blank fields where the character descriptions normally reside. If I had to call it, we will probably see high-resolution images and descriptions for these three later today. Stay tuned.

Update 1 (3:30 PM): Due to a glitch on the Cars 2 Facebook page, the images were released before they were meant to be. Out of respect for Disney/Pixar, I have removed the images. I am sure we will see them again soon!

Update 2 (8:00 PM): Disney/Pixar has unveiled brand new character Carla Veloso. Click here to view hi-res image and video.

Cars 2 Characters Teased on Facebook

Cars 2 Characters Teased on Facebook

In the trailer that was released for Cars 2, we saw the appearance of many new characters. During the past several weeks, Disney has unveiled character images and descriptions for the returning cast, as well as for a few brand new characters, Finn McMissile and Holley Shiftwell. Disney/Pixar has been doing an incredible job connecting with fans, as the animation studio is very active on popular social networking sites, Twitter and Facebook.

On the Cars 2 Facebook page, a tab labeled “Cars Showcase” was recently added. It shows off images and descriptions for all of the characters that have been unveiled so far. However, clicking through to the end shows silhouettes of 20 characters that will likely be revealed in the coming weeks. Most of them were likely present in the trailer, but it will be interesting to see if there any previously unknown characters present amongst the silhouettes.  Below is a gallery of all the character teases:

Video: Holley Shiftwell Turntable

January 20, 2011 by Samad Rizvi Leave a Comment

The focus of promotional images and videos for Cars 2 has recently shifted towards the new characters, as just a few days ago, we saw the release of some great new images of Finn McMissile and Holley Shiftwell. We’ve already seen the turntable video for Finn, and now Disney/Pixar has given us a look at Holley in motion. View it below:

In a keynote speech at AutoWeek, co-director Brad Lewis said Holley could be characterized as a Bond girl, as there is a spy theme to the sequel film. From the video, there already looks to be an interesting (and mysterious) quality to her character.

We will know more when Cars 2 hits theaters in June later this year!

New Image From Cars 2 Shows Off Japan

New Image From Cars 2 Shows Off Japan

You would think that after pulling off a win at the Golden Globes last night, Disney/Pixar would take a break. Guess they did not get the memo, as Disney has released a brand new image from Cars 2 (click to view in hi-res):

Wow, is all I can muster after viewing that. With each successive film, Pixar seems to pull off higher quality animation, and Cars 2 seems to be holding true to that. The colors alone look fantastic here. I can only imagine what Lightning & Co.’s stay in Japan will look like in motion within the final product.

Thanks to Christian from the German Pixar Blog (a very nice Pixar blog, if I may add) for alerting me about the image’s release.

More Cars 2 Character Images, Descriptions, Video

Disney has just released character images and descriptions for the returning characters in Cars 2. All the favorites are back – Mater, Sally, Flo, Sheriff, and more! Be advised that the character descriptions (which are courtesy of HeyUGuys) discuss the plot in a small way, so if you want to remain completely in the dark, consider this your chance to run away.

Picture of the Day: Bulgarian Cars 2 Poster

Picture of the Day: Bulgarian Cars 2 Poster

Living in North America, I don’t always get to see the great international posters that are devised for Pixar films. Today, however, a Cars 2 Bulgarian poster showed up on the Internet Movie Poster Awards Gallery that I had to share. It’s a fun take on the film that instantly tells you there’s going to be a lot of traveling around the world taking place.

Yesterday, the Disney Awards website was updated to include 11 more Toy Story 3 ‘for your consideration’ ads, and boy are they fun to look at.

Very tongue-in-cheek! Check out the gallery of images below.
