‘Full of va-va-vroom’ – News Of The World
From The Winning Team of Disney and Pixar
CARS
Racing onto Disney DVD from November 27th in time for Christmas
The high-octane Disney/Pixar team announces the Disney DVD debut of the smash hit animated film of the year, CARS - out to own on Disney DVD from November 27th. From Pixar’s Academy Award® winning director John Lasseter (Toy Story, A Bug’s Life, Toy Story 2) and the creative team that thrilled audiences with unforgettable hits like “The Incredibles” and “Finding Nemo,” CARS is a comedy-adventure box office favourite about a hotshot rookie race car who, with a fun cast of car-acters goes on the ride of his life.
Starring Owen Wilson (“Wedding Crashers”), the legendary Paul Newman (Oscar® winner Best Actor “The Color of Money” 1986) and an all-star cast, CARS takes audiences of all ages on an incredible adventure that blends a heartfelt story, great music and breathtaking animation.
Loaded with a full tank of electrifying DVD bonus features, the CARS Disney DVD includes an exclusive all new animated short “Mater and The Ghostlight,” starring Mater, the rusty but trusty tow truck. This exclusive bonus feature was produced by the creative and technical teams who developed CARS.
The story is set in the town of Radiator Springs and tells the legend of the Ghostlight – a mysterious blue light that haunts the town and its residents. Also included for the first time on a Disney DVD is Pixar’s Academy Award®- nominated “One Man Band” (Best Animated Short 2005) which played with the film in cinemas. This spins the hilarious tale of two competing street musicians vying for a little girl’s attention. Rounding up the DVD bonus features is the fascinating behind-the-scenes “Inspiration for Cars,” an exciting journey with John Lasseter that explores how the story of CARS was born, as well as deleted scenes and a special sneak peek at the highly anticipated next Disney/Pixar feature Ratatouille.
CARS is currently on release in cinemas throughout the UK. Box office takings to date stand at £15.8million and with no competition in the family market until October, Cars will still be going strong at the cinema through to half term.
After taking film-goers magically into the realm of toys, bugs, monsters, fish, and superheroes, the masterful storytellers and technical wizards at Pixar Animation Studios and Academy Award®-winning director John Lasseter, hit the road with this fast-paced comedy adventure set inside the world of cars.
In addition to Owen Wilson and Paul Newman, CARS includes an all-star vocal cast including Bonnie Hunt (as Sally, a snazzy Porsche), Larry The Cable Guy (as Mater, a wise-cracking, rusty but trusty tow truck), George Carlin (as Fillmore, the town’s resident hippie van), Paul Dooley (as Sarge, the no-nonsense Army Jeep) and Cheech Marin (as Ramone, the low-riding, car painting Impala). As well, the fast-action film favourite includes the voice of Jenifer Lewis (as Flo, the sassy, no-nonsense 50’s big-fin show car), Tony Shalhoub (as Luigi, the excitable, tyre-brokering Italian import), Michael Wallis (as Sheriff, the Mercury Police Cruiser), Michael Keaton (as Chick Hicks, Lightning McQueen’s nemesis), Richard Petty (as The King, the classiest champ on the race-car circuit) and John Ratzenberger (as Mack, the big-hearted Super-liner who ferries McQueen across the country). Ratzenberger is the only actor to appear in all of Pixar’s feature films.
