BURBANK, Calif., August 18, 2011 - Disney*Pixar's fast-action summer hit "Cars 2" comes home
on Blu-ray Combo Pack, Blu-ray 3D, Movie Download and DVD -- November 1, 2011. Celebrating
the 25th anniversary of Pixar Animation Studios, the high octane in-home release invites families and
fans of all ages to come along on a journey around the world with the #1 animated film of the year and
introduces an exclusive all-new animated short "Air Mater," featuring the fan favorite character
spinning his tales in an exciting adventure high above Radiator Springs. The must-own animated
release also includes fascinating commentary from award-winning director John Lasseter and
"Hawaiian Vacation," the delightful animated short that accompanied the film in theatres.
The immersive "Cars 2" bonus features include an one-of-a-kind interactive "World Tour" map that
takes viewers through nine different locations, including those featured in the film and more. A global
thrill-ride, it allows viewers to go behind-the-scenes with the Pixar artists and filmmakers as they circle
the globe finding inspiration for the most international of all Pixar films to date. "Cars 2" is also the
first Pixar film to be released in spectacular Blu-ray 3D.
Academy Award®-winning filmmaker John Lasseter, chief creative officer for Walt Disney and Pixar
Animation Studios, returns to the driver's seat as director. "Cars 2" is produced by visual effects industry
veteran Denise Ream (associate producer, "Up"; visual effects executive producer, "Star Wars: Episode III
- Revenge of the Sith"). Oscar®-winning composer Michael Giacchino ("The Incredibles," "Up") provides
the electrifying score with a surf-rock-meets-spy-thriller flavor and a variety of global accents, evoking a
sense of thrills, mystery and emotion. Brad Paisley, Robbie Williams, Weezer, French singer Bénabar and
Japanese girl band Perfume lend their diverse musical talents to the film's soundtrack.
The film features an all-star vocal cast including Owen Wilson who reprises his role as hotshot racecar
Lightning McQueen. Larry the Cable Guy provides the voice of Mater (proprietor of Tow Mater Towing
and Salvage), Lightning McQueen's best friend and the heart and soul of Radiator Springs. Bonnie Hunt
is back as Sally, the baby-blue Porsche 911 Carrera whose motor races for Lightning. Acclaimed actor
Michael Caine makes his Pixar debut as Finn McMissile, a top British spy who mistakes Mater for an
undercover American agent with a genius disguise. Emily Mortimer brings charm, cleverness and cachet
as Holley Shiftwell, a rookie field spy who knows every trick in the manual. Versatile actor John Turturro
gives a free-wheeling performance as Francesco Bernoulli, the world-renowned Italian racing champ who
is Lightning's chief rival. Tony Shalhoub, Joe Mantegna, Peter Jacobson, Jason Isaacs, Eddie Izzard, Paul
Dooley, Cheech Marin, John Ratzenberger, Franco Nero and Vanessa Redgrave also lend their vocal
talents. Real-life Formula 1 racing champ Lewis Hamilton and NASCAR racer Jeff Gordon add a touch of
authenticity with their cameos in the film.
