Racer Lightning McQueen and tow truck Mater are back for a new adventure in Japan in Disney Pixar's CARS 2. Owen Wilson, Cheech Marin, Larry the Cable Guy, and Michael Caine are back as the voices of the talking cars. The sequel introduces new characters and CineMovie has a sneak peek of the new crew joining the cast.
Lightning McQueen and Mater head overseas to to compete in the first-ever World Grand Prix to determine the world’s fastest car. But the road to the championship is filled with plenty of potholes, detours and hilarious surprises when Mater gets caught up in an intriguing adventure of his own: international espionage. Torn between assisting Lightning McQueen in the high-profile race and towing the line in a top-secret spy mission, Mater’s action-packed journey leads him on an explosive chase through the streets of Japan and Europe, trailed by his friends and watched by the whole world. Adding to the fast-paced fun is a colorful new all-car cast that includes secret agents, menacing villains and international racing competitors.
That's where Finn McMissile and Holley Shiftwell come in. Finn is a master British spy with an arsenal of ultra-cool gadgets and weaponry, including front and rear grappling hooks, a missile launcher, deployable magnetic explosives and a holographic disguise emitter. Holley Shiftwell is a beautiful young British desk agent, turned spy-in-training who’s stationed in Tokyo. When seasoned international spy Finn McMissile requires Holley’s technical expertise for his latest top-secret field operation, she finds herself pursuing a rendezvous with the most unlikely candidate—Mater, an innocent caught up in the intrigue, who is mesmerized by the beauty of his newest friend. CARS 2 is in theaters June 24, 2011.
