Disney is doing a nice job slowly rolling out new photos and information for their upcoming 2011 slate. Today we’ve seen the official reveal of the Pirates of the Caribbean teaser poster and now we get the first image, poster and the complete synopsis for Pixar’s next adventure, Cars 2.
As you can tell from the above image, Cars 2 is going to be a dramatic shift from the first film, which we can also gather from the following new synopsis:
Star racecar Lightning McQueen (voice of Owen Wilson) and the incomparable tow truck Mater (voice of Larry the Cable Guy) take their friendship to exciting new places in Cars 2 when they head overseas 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.
Then we have our first teaser poster for the film, and on top of all this tomorrow morning at 8 AM Pacific time the official trailer for the film will make its worldwide debut and I will do my very best to have it online for you as soon as possible.
Cars 2 hits theaters on June 24, 2011. For more information and images, including slightly larger looks at the image above and the poster below, click here.
