Disney confirms 'The Incredibles 2' and 'Cars 3'

At a Shareholders conference call this morning in Portland, Oregon, Disney CEO Bob Iger affirmed that 'The Incredibles 2' and 'Cars 3' are currently in the works. Not much information was said about either film, except that Pixar director Brad Bird is writing a story for 'The Incredibles' sequel. 'The Incredibles' will also be released in theaters in 3D.

'Cars 3' was first reported last august when Michael Wallis (voice of the sheriff in 'Cars') said this in an interview; "Cars 3 we're coming back to the road. And we're coming back to 66 into 99. The 6 is upside down, that's the road the runs right through central California."

Because there are so many upcoming films for Pixar, 'The Incredibles 2' and 'Cars 3' may not be in theaters until 2018.

The Radiator Springs 500 ½

The next Cars Toon will be called 'Radiator Springs 500 ½.' Entertainment Weekly revealed details on the new six-minute short film saying that 'The gang is enjoying a Founders Day celebration to honor Stanley when a gang of Baja racers descend on the town and challenge Lightning to a race. While McQueen and the Baja pros see who’s the fastest, Mater leads the rest of the gang through a leisurely Founders Day tour of Stanley’s original frontier route.'

The director of the film Rob Gibbs said “We kind of played it up like a western. These off-road racers come to town, like gunslingers looking for the hottest gunslinger in Radiator Springs, Lightning McQueen. They challenge him to a race, like someone would challenge someone to a duel.  It’s kind of a contrast between how much fun the tour is and how scary and painful the racers’ journey is, because they take a right where Mater told them to take a left."

Gibbs also talked about the new characters in 'The Radiator Springs 500 ½:'  "There’s four of them: a Baja Bug, a Class-1 dune buggy, a Meyers Manx dune buggy, and a trophy truck. The big money ones, with huge suspension and huge wheels.”

The film will be part of Pixar’s 'Tales from Radiator Springs' series. The next Cars Toon will be 'To Protect and Serve.' (@ThePixarTimes) RS 500 ½ will premiere later this spring on Disney Movies Anywhere.
