Cars 3 Trailer (2017)

Trailer for Cars 3.

Blindsided by a new generation of blazing-fast racers, the legendary Lightning McQueen is suddenly pushed out of the sport he loves. To get back in the game he will need the help of eager young female race technician Cruz Ramirez. Proving that #95 isn’t through yet, he will test the heart of a champion on Piston Cup Racing’s biggest stage against his new rival, Jackson Storm.

The third film in the Cars franchise got an early start. Way back on August 17, 2013, the film was first confirmed by Michael Wallis (voice of Sheriff in the films). It was during a radio interview that he told listeners that Cars 3 would go back to Route 66 and will also include Route 99. Then seven months later, during a Disney stockholder meeting on March 18, 2014, Disney CEO Bob Iger announced that Pixar had in fact begun pre-production on Cars 3.

Cars 3 will not hit theaters until June 16, 2017 which means that this film will have taken over 3 years from pre-production to a theater near you.

Cars 3 is being Directed by Brian Fee who was actually a storyboard animator on both Cars (2006) and Cars 2 (2011).

I loved the first Cars film. It had a great story line with great comedy and great characters.

We get to see a little more here than we did in the first Teaser Trailer. The first half of this trailer is the same as the teaser trailer but it then goes into some new footage. We get to see Lightning's new competitor, Storm, in action and how the tables have turned since the first film where Lightning was the rookie...now he is the "old guy" and the one facing retirement.

I thought the second Cars film was pretty good and have a pretty good story line to follow, but it was not nearly as good as the first. And then they tried to come out with Planes, which was a complete let down for me. I am hoping they can return the franchise back to standards of the first film with this installment, but I have my doubts. However, I will still catch this when it comes out.
