Cars 2 is a 2011 American computer-animated action comedy spy film produced by Pixar and released by Walt Disney Pictures. The film is the sequel to the 2006 film Cars and features the voices of Owen Wilson, Larry the Cable Guy, Michael Caine, Emily Mortimer, John Turturro, and Eddie Izzard. In the film, race car Lightning McQueen and tow truck Mater head to Japan and Europe to compete in the World Grand Prix, but Mater becomes sidetracked with international espionage.[3][4][5] The film is directed by John Lasseter, co-directed by Brad Lewis, written by Ben Queen, and produced by Denise Ream.[4][5][6]

Cars 2 was released in the United States on June 24, 2011 (five years after the first film). The film was presented in Disney Digital 3D and IMAX 3D, as well as traditional two-dimensional and IMAX formats.[7] The film was first announced in 2008, alongside Up, Newt, and Brave, and it is the 12th animated film from the studio.[8][9] Although the film received mixed reviews from critics, breaking the studio's streak of critical success, it ranked No. 1 on its opening weekend in the U.S. and Canada with $66,135,507 and topping international success of such previous Pixar works as Toy Story, A Bug's Life, Toy Story 2, Monsters, Inc., Cars, and WALL-E.[10]

Plot

Finn McMissile, a British spy infiltrates the world's largest untapped oil reserves owned by a group of lemon cars. After being discovered, he flees and fakes his death.

Lightning McQueen, now a 4-time Piston Cup champion, returns home to Radiator Springs, but when Italian formula race car Francesco Bernoulli challenges McQueen to the World Grand Prix led by Sir Miles Axelrod, he and his best friend Mater—along with Luigi, Guido, Fillmore, and Sarge—depart for Tokyo for the World Grand Prix.

Meanwhile, the lemons, who are led by unknown mastermind Professor Zündapp, secretly plot to secure their oil profits by using a extremely dangero camera (discovered by Finn on the oil platform) to trigger Allinol, a fuel created by Axlerod and a required fuel to race. McMissile and his partner Holley Shiftwell attempt to meet with American spy car Rod "Torque" Redline at a World Grand Prix promotional event in Tokyo, to receive information about the mastermind. However, Redline is then attacked by Zündapp's henchmen and passes his information to Mater before he is captured and Holley and Finn mistake Mater as their American contact. Before killing Redline, Professor Zündapp finds out it is Mater with hold of the information.

At the first race, several cars are ignited by the camera, and McQueen falls second in the race after Bernoulli, due to Mater accidentally giving him bad racing advice after evading Zündapp's henchmen with help from Holley and Finn. Mater then gets abducted by Finn and boards his plane, where Mater identifies some of the information. After traveling to France to get more information from Finn's old friend, they travel to Italy, where the next race is being held.

In Italy, Mater infiltrates the criminals' meeting, and the camera is used on a few more cars, causing a multi car pileup as McQueen finishes first. Due to the outcome of Allinol's effects, Sir Miles Axelrod does not require the final race to be run on Allinol, but McQueen decides to use it, in which the criminals plot to kill McQueen, blowing Mater's cover as he and Finn and Holley are abducted.

They are found to be tied up in Big Ben clock in London, where the final race is being held, and Mater discovers that the camera ignited on McQueen didn't function, but that there is a bomb in McQueen's pits, in which Mater escapes. Finn and Holley escape later, but they realize that the bomb is on Mater's air filter. Mater then flees on the race course where McQueen (who arrived at the pits) chases after him, and Finn apprehends Professor Zündapp. The other lemons arrive and outnumber Finn, Holley, Mater, and McQueen; but the Radiator Springs residents arrive and interfere. Mater then uses evidence to decode that Axelrod is the leader of this plot and placed the bomb on him. Axelrod is confronted by Mater, forced to deactivate the bomb, and he and the other lemons are taken into custody, foiling the operation.

In the end, Mater receives a honorary knighthood from the queen, and it is revealed the camera didn't trigger McQueen because Sarge replaced Allinol with gasoline. Finn and Holley ask if Mater can join them on another mission, but he turns it down. The final scene ends with the World Grand Prix competitors racing each other at Radiator Springs.

Voice cast

Main article: List of Cars characters

Much of the cast from the original Cars remained intact for the sequel, but three voice actors of the original film have died since its release. Joe Ranft (who voiced Red) died in an automobile accident on August 16, 2005, ten months before Cars was released. The first film was dedicated in memoriam to him. Red appears in this film, but he does not speak or vocalize. George Carlin (who voiced Fillmore) died of heart failure on June 22, 2008; Fillmore also shows up in Cars 2, and he was voiced by Lloyd Sherr (who also voices Tony Trihull). Paul Newman (who voiced Doc Hudson) died of cancer on September 26, 2008. After Newman's death, Lasseter said they would "see how the story goes with Doc Hudson."[11] Doc was eventually written out,[12] with a few references to the character, where he is thought to have died before the events of the movie, as Mater says that he would have been proud for McQueen's Piston Cups, which have been renamed after Doc; also, in the Tokyo race, one of the announcers says that Doc was one of the best dirt racers ever.

Main characters

Supporting

In international versions of the film, the character Jeff Gorvette is replaced with race car drivers better known in the specific countries in his dialogue scenes (however, he still appears as a competitor).[14]

In Brazil, Gorvette is replaced by Carla Veloso in his dialogue scenes (Carla appears in all other versions of the film, but with no lines); Carla is voiced by Brazilian singer Claudia Leitte. Sportspeople still appear, with Lewis Hamilton becoming Formula One champion Emerson Fittipaldi, while Brent Mustangburger and David Hobbscap were done by sports announcers José Trajano and Luciano do Valle.[18]

Cars is the second Pixar film, after Toy Story, to have a sequel as well as becoming a franchise.[19] John Lasseter, the director of the film, said that he was convinced of the sequel's story while traveling around the world promoting the first film. He said:

Cars 2 was originally scheduled for a summer 2012 release, but Pixar moved the release up by a year.[11]

In 2009, Disney registered several domain names, hinting to audiences that the title and theme of the film would be in relation to a World Grand Prix.[21]

In March 2011, Jake Mandeville-Anthony, a U.K. screenwriter, sued Disney and Pixar alleging copyright infringement and breach of implied contract. In his complaint he alleged that Cars and Cars 2 are based in part on work that he had submitted early in the 1990s and he sought an injunction to stop the release of Cars 2 and requested actual or statutory damages. On May 13, 2011, Disney responded to the lawsuit, denying "each and every one of Plaintiff's legal claims concerning the purported copyright infringement and substantial similarity of the parties' respective works."[22] On July 27, 2011, the lawsuit was dismissed by a district court judge who, in her ruling, wrote that the "Defendants have sufficiently shown that the Parties' respective works are not substantially similar in their protectable elements as a matter of law".[23]

Casting

In November 2010, Owen Wilson, Larry the Cable Guy, Michael Caine, Emily Mortimer, Jason Isaacs, Joe Mantegna, Peter Jacobson, Bonnie Hunt, Tony Shalhoub, Cheech Marin, and Thomas Kretschmann were confirmed as the voice talent featured in the film.[24] From November 2010 until May 2011, Disney released information about the other voice talent, including Jenifer Lewis, Katherine Helmond, Michael Wallis, Darrell Waltrip, Franco Nero, Vanessa Redgrave, Bruce Campbell, Sig Hansen, Michel Michelis, Jeff Gordon, Lewis Hamilton, Brent Musburger, David Hobbs, John Turturro, and Eddie Izzard.[25]

Release

During the Summer of 2008, John Lasseter announced that Cars 2 would be pushed forward and released in the summer of 2011, one year earlier than its original 2012 release date.[27] The US release date was later confirmed to be June 24, 2011, with a UK release date set for July 22, 2011.[28] The world premiere of the film took place at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood on June 18, 2011.[29] Cars 2 was released in 4,115 theaters in the USA and Canada[30] setting a record-high for a G-rated film[31] and for Pixar. The latter was surpassed by Brave (4,164 theaters).[32]

Short film

Main article: Hawaiian Vacation

The film was preceded by a short film titled Hawaiian Vacation, directed by Gary Rydstrom and starring the characters of the Toy Story franchise.

Home media

The film was released on DVD, Blu-ray, Blu-ray 3D, and Movie Download on November 1, 2011. This release was produced in four different physical packages: a 1-disc DVD, a 2-disc combo pack (DVD and Blu-ray), a 5-disc combo pack (DVD, Blu-ray, Blu-ray 3D, and Digital Copy), and an 11-disc three movie collector's set, which features Cars, Cars 2, and Cars Toons: Mater's Tall Tales). The film was also released as a Movie Download edition in both standard and high definition.[33]

The Movie Download release includes four bonus features: Cars Toons "Air Mater", the Toy Story Toon "Hawaiian Vacation", "World Tour Interactive Feature", and "Bringing Cars 2 to the World". The 1-disc DVD and 2-disc Blu-ray/DVD combo pack releases include the shorts "Air Mater" and "Hawaiian Vacation", plus the Director John Lasseter Commentary. The 5-disc combo pack includes all of the same bonus features as the 1-disc DVD and 2-disc Blu-ray/DVD combo pack versions, in addition to "World Tour Interactive Feature" and "Sneak Peek: The Nuts and Bolts of Cars Land." The 11-disc three movie collection comes packaged with Cars (DVD, Blu-ray, and Digital Copy), Cars 2 (DVD, Blu-ray, Blu-ray 3D,nand Digital Copy), and Mater's Tall Tales (DVD, Blu-ray, and Digital Copy).[33]

Cars 2 sold a total of 1,983,374 DVD units during its opening week,[34] generating $31.24 million and claiming first place.[35] It also finished on the top spot on the Blu-ray chart during its first week, selling 1.76 million units and generating $44.57 million. Its Blu-ray share of home media was 47%, indicating an unexpectedly major shift of sales from DVD to Blu-ray.[36] Blu-ray 3D contributed to this, accounting for 17% of total disc sales.[37]

Reception

Critical response

Cars 2 holds a 39% approval rating on aggregate review site Rotten Tomatoes, based on 205 reviews, with an average score of 5.5/10, making it the first Pixar film to garner a "rotten" certification. Its consensus reads, "Cars 2 is as visually appealing as any other Pixar production, but all that dazzle can't disguise the rusty storytelling under the hood."[38] Another review aggregator, Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average score out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, calculated an average score of 57/100 based on 38 reviews, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[39] "The original Cars was not greeted with exceptional warmth," said The New York Times, "but the sequel generated Pixar's first truly negative response."[40] Critics generally criticized the G-rating, the focus on Mater and felt the film lacked warmth and charm, while also feeling the film was made as an exercise in target marketing.[41][42][43][44] Reviewing the film for The Wall Street Journal, Joe Morgenstern wrote, “This frenzied sequel seldom gets beyond mediocrity."[45] Entertainment Weekly critic Owen Gleiberman said, "Cars 2 is a movie so stuffed with "fun" that it went right off the rails. What on earth was the gifted director-mogul John Lasseter thinking – that he wanted kids to come out of this movie was [sic] more ADD?"[46] Although Leonard Maltin on IndieWire claimed that he had "such high regard for Pixar and its creative team led by John Lasseter" he said he found the plot "confusing" and felt that Tow Mater's voice annoying saying that he'd "rather listen to chalk on a blackboard than spend nearly two hours with Tow Mater."[47] Considering the low reviews given to the Pixar production, critic Kyle Smith of the New York Post said, "They said it couldn't be done. But Pixar proved the yaysayers wrong when it made its first bad movie, Cars. Now it has worsted itself with the even more awful Cars 2."[48]

Conversely, Peter Travers of Rolling Stone gave the movie 3½ stars out of four, and said that "the sequel is a tire-burning burst of action and fun with a beating heart under its hood." He also praised its "fluid script" and called it a "winner".[49] Roger Ebert was the most effusive of the more positive reviews, writing, “At a time when some ‘grown-up’ action films are relentlessly shallow and stupid, here is a movie with such complexity that even the cars sometimes have to pause and explain it to themselves.”[50] Justin Chang of Variety commented, “The rare sequel that not only improves on but retroactively justifies its predecessor.”[51] Ticket buyers also gave the film an A– in exit polls, on par with other Pixar titles.[40] A central current of the negative reviews was the theory that Cars 2 was forced out of Pixar by its corporate parent, the Walt Disney Company, out of greed to drive merchandising sales.[45][52] Lasseter vehemently denied these claims, which he attributed to "people who don’t know the facts, rushing to judge."[40] Some theorized that the vitriol was less about the film but more about Pixar's broadened focus to sequels. The New York Times reported that although one negatively reviewed film would not be enough to scratch the studio, "the commentary did dent morale at the studio, which until then had enjoyed an unbroken and perhaps unprecedented run of critical acclaim."[40]

Box office

Cars 2 grossed $191,452,396 in the USA and Canada, and $368,400,000 in other territories for a worldwide total of $559,852,396.[2] Worldwide on its opening weekend it grossed $109.0 million, marking the largest opening weekend for a 2011 animated title.[53] Overall, Cars 2 became seventh biggest Pixar film in worldwide box office among the fourteen released.

Cars 2 made $25.7 million on its debut Friday (June 24, 2011), marking the third-largest opening day for a Pixar film after Toy Story 3's $41.1 million. At the time, though, it was the third least-attended opening day for a Pixar film, only ahead of Up and Ratatouille.[54] It also scored the sixth largest opening day for an animated feature.[55] On its opening weekend as a whole, Cars 2 debuted at No.1 with $66.1 million,[30] marking the largest opening weekend for a 2011 animated feature, the seventh largest opening for Pixar,[56] the eighth largest among films released in June,[57] and the fourth largest for a G-rated film.[58] In its second weekend, however, the film dropped 60.3%, the largest second weekend drop ever for a Pixar film, and grossed $26.2 million.[59] It is the only Pixar film that missed the $200-million mark since A Bug's Life[60][61][62] and it is also the least attended Pixar film ever.[63]

Outside North America, it grossed $42.9 million during its first weekend from 3,129 theaters in 18 countries, topping the box office.[64] It performed especially well in Russia where it grossed $9.42 million,[65] marking the best opening weekend for a Disney or Pixar animated feature and surpassing the entire runs of Cars and Toy Story 3.[66] In Mexico, it made $8.24 million during its first weekend,[67] while in Brazil, it topped the box office with $5.19 million ($7.08 million with previews).[68] It also premeiered at No.1 with $5.16 million in Australia,[69] where it debuted simultaneously with Kung Fu Panda 2 and out-grossed it.[64] It is the highest-grossing film of 2011 in Lithuania ($477,117),[70] Argentina ($11,996,480).[71] It is the highest-grossing animated film of 2011 in Estonia ($442,707),[72] Finland ($3,230,314),[73] Norway ($5,762,653).[74]
