Ohhh, Look…'Cars 2' Vintage Grand Prix Posters
Looks like we’re nearing the end of the Pixar marketing campaign but they seem to have save some of the best for last. That said, here’s some awesome looking Grand Prix posters for locations in Cars 2 and I’m just a sucker for this type of artwork. They speak for themselves and really capture that vintage feel of old racing advertisements from the 1950’s. Anyway I’ll keep this post short but check out this slick looking canvas below (click the image for a hi-rez version). This should be the last bit of Cars 2 promo stuff we’ll post because if you aren’t as psyched as we are by now then…

Sweet Trailer (& New Screenshots!!)…'Cars 2'
Well, I know we’ve posted a few trailers of Cars 2 this year but man, each one is just so enjoyable to watch. It’s hard not to consume as much of this content as we do (as I’d like to leave some surprises for the theater) but I can’t help myself…it’s all so awesome looking. For those of you who still can’t get enough teases of McQueen and Mater’s upcoming international adventure, have a look… I’m guessing everyone already knows the plot so how about we jump to these ultra slick looking photos?? (click each one to see the gorgeous ultra hi rez version)

Ohhh, Look…Toy Story Short "Hawaiian Vacation" Clip
Last year Toy Story 3 was a huge hit. And by huge I mean it was a billion dollar hit (that’s billions with a B!). Riding high on their success, Buzz, Woody and the Toy Box gang are going to be featured in the next Pixar short which precedes the upcoming Cars 2. In a way it’s fitting that are gong to help usher in the only other Pixar franchise that’s gotten a sequel. But it also seems funny that after taking home the Oscar last month for Best Animated film, our beloved characters are playing second fiddle as the opening band for Lightning McQueen, Mater and the bunch. Anyway…

Ohhh, Look…New 'Cars 2' Characters
There’s one automobile related film I’m excited about this year and it ain’t Drive Angry. No, it’s Pixar’s Cars 2 and today we have our first look at 4 of the newest characters which not only look stunning but are backed with some high-profile voice talent. Over the past few weeks we’ve gotten to see all the new models for Cars 2 via the “Turntable Series” (click here to check them all out). This is week 8 of the new model reveals and each one really is better looking than the last. Have a look at the next round of Cars 2 characters:

Sweet Trailer…’Cars 2′ Daytona 500 Spot
A few weeks ago, film fans watching the Super Bowl were treated to some great teaser trailers for the most anticipate films of 2011. The commercials were jam packed with trailers big and small but Cars 2 was oddly missing from that impressive line up. Well Pixar’s sequel about the continuing adventures of Lightning McQueen and his pal Mater got their due with this spot during the Daytona 500. Yeah, that event seemed better suited to them anyways. So while we’ve posted Cars 2 photos and videos in the past, I’ll take all I can get as I’m super excited for this sequel… Dag gum! Now if that’s not enough to see…

While You Were Out…1/31 – 2/4
Yup, the Super Bowl is almost upon us and it’s pretty effen snow, cold, icy and more here in lovely Dallas. If it’s any consolation, fans of both the Packers and Steelers should feel right at home. Hey boys, don’t say the Big D never did anything for you:P This week we had some good trailers, news bits and if you missed any of it, here’s some of the more noteworthy items. So if you’re snowed in like us (yes Castor, 3 inches can debilitate an entire city if you don’t have the man power or utilities to clear the roads) please allow yourself the time to catch you up on this…

Sweet (Teaser) Trailer…'Cars 2'
Vrroom, vroom!! It looks like we’re getting a truckload of Pixar magic this week and the latest offering form everyone’s favorite stateside animation house comes in the form of animated cars. Yesterday we had a post featuring a gorgeous screen shot and a teaser poster which was awesome enough. Today we get an oh so sweet teaser trailer and it really makes me smile (FYI, the trailer released about a month ago that was more like an “announcement” trailer). So enough stalling, let’s hit the gas shall we? In this sequel to 2006’s Cars, we follow Lightning McQueen and his best friend Mater as they set out on an international adventure…
