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.

Finn McMissile (voiced by Michael Caine) and Holley Shiftwell (voiced by Emily Mortimer) are in line to be two of the new standout characters in the film. View the images and descriptions below:

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.

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.
