Trailer Time: Cars 2

It's already been a pretty great year for animated features. Gnomeo & Juliet, Rio, and Rango were all excellent, which should make awards season pretty interesting. All that and we still haven't had our yearly Pixar offering, which is of course Cars 2.  There's been a ton of clips and spotlights on the batch of new characters in the sequel, which has Lightning McQueen(Owen Wilson) and his redneck buddy Mater(Larry the Cable Guy) swept up in some international espionage as they try to compete in the World Grand Prix. 

It feels like Cars 2 is getting lost in the shuffle a little bit, but Pixar's released a brand new trailer to jog our memories. Check it out below...




Cars 2 opens in theaters on June 24th!

PLOT
Star racecar Lightning McQueen and the incomparable tow truck Mater 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.
