Cars 2 3D concept art

While Disney is busy cranking out the marketing materials for “Tron: Legacy” in less than two months and the studio’s Nov. 24 3D animated film “Tangled,” its sister company Pixar is already beginning to disseminate concept art for “Cars 2” that is still 9 months from being released in Disney Digital 3D and select IMAX 3D on June 24, 2011.

First stop on the World Grand Prix for Lightning McQueen in Cars 2 is Japan.

The movie to be directed again by Pixar founder John Lasseter finds the stars of the original, Lightning McQueen (voice of Owen Wilson) and the tow truck Mater (voice of Larry the Cable Guy) heading overseas for a World Grand Prix that takes them to Japan (above), Paris, London, Italy, and elsewhere as Mater gets caught up in an international spy plot.
