Cars seems to be one of those Pixar hits that you either love or hate. It might have something to do with my son’s obsession with it and the joy I feel through watching him watch it, but I am on the love side.
However when I heard they were making a sequel I wasn’t sure what to make of it and held out until I heard a plot synopsis. Well now we got one!
Former producer Brad Lewis is directing the sequel, which will see Lightning McQueen, his pit team and new pit boss Mater, heading around the world for the Race of Champions, to take place in five different countries and involve the champions of different disciplines like Formula One and rally driving. Apparently “Mater gets involved in a ‘Hitchcockian’ case of mistaken identity, saves the life of a British secret agent called Finn McMissile (who looks a lot like an Aston Martin) and becomes embroiled in a huge spy thriller. Only no-one believes him. That too comes to a head at Buckingham Palace
I was wondering what they might do with a Cars sequel, and I think I really looking forward to seeing that play out.
Now if they only had Timothy Dalton voice Finn McMissle…
