Since the mid-1990s, Disney film company Pixar has been providing animation fans with fantastic movie highlights: ‘Toy Story’, ‘Monsters Inc’, ‘Finding Nemo’, the list of Pixar hits is long. Many of the successful films have since received a sequel or prequel – including the 2006 animated hit ‘Cars’. This was followed in 2011 by ‘Cars 2’, a quirky spy film for agents in the car cosmos, while ‘Cars 3: Evolution’ then the racing aspects of the animation spectacle were again central.
While the franchise isn’t one of Pixar’s most popular films among cinephiles, the animated cars weren’t just impressive at the box office. In particular, merchandise related to Lightning McQueen and his lackluster friends is selling well, even without a new movie.
While the once-popular franchise has been on hiatus in theaters since 2017, it continues to buzz in many children’s rooms. But will Lightning McQueen make the tires smoke in theaters again? How does the career of protégé Cruz Ramirez, the fast speedster trained by Lightning McQueen at the end of “Cars 3: Evolution,” progress? Questions to questions that have not yet been answered. But now the time has come Jay Wardcreative director of the ‘Cars’ franchise, commented on the status quo of the series.
“Cars 4”? In a few years at the earliest
As part of the Porsche Rennsport Reunion 7, Jay Ward set off across the street (through ) shows that we are currently working hard on the further development of the franchise:
“There’s more Cars stuff we’re working on right now. I can’t say more yet. ‘Cars’ has a life that will continue. I’m working on some really fun projects now that you’ll see in a few years.
Whether this will be ‘Cars 4’, a spin-off or a few more short films or another series remains to be seen. What is certain is that Pixar has not forgotten the ‘Cars’ series and plans to use motorized heroes in the future – even though the projects are apparently still in a very early stage of development.
Anyone who is really in the mood for the ‘Cars’ movies and wants to spend these delayed days together with Lightning McQueen (voice in the original: Owen Wilson), Hook (Larry the Cable Guy) and their motorized colleagues. in time for the new year to be in full swing, you can currently find this and all the other Pixar films in the Disney+ streaming catalog.
