As the Associated Press puts it: "If you didn't know Cars 2 is coming out from Disney/Pixar June 24, you will when you walk through the toy aisles beginning this spring." (via Bloomberg)
Lasseter made clear that he doesn't see Cars 2 as a parody of the espionage genre. "This is not a parody of a spy movie. This is a spy movie," he was quoted as saying.
Cast members Emily Mortimer (Holley Shiftwell) and Sir Michael Caine (Finn McMissile) took part in an on-stage discussion about the film, while director John Lasseter sent a taped message.

Caine and Mortimer both raved about the experience of working with Pixar and the effort the studio puts into the films. Caine also revealed that he was recently at Pixar Canada in Vancouver—a possible hint that Finn McMissile will be showing up in future Cars Toons.
One of the biggest draws at the show was a life-size replica of McMissile that will tour the U.S. later this year. You can see it in the B-roll of footage from the show embedded above via Trailer Addict.

You don't need to post this comment - just wanted to point out that beside Emily Mortimer's name you wrote EMILY Shiftwell by mistake, rather than HOLLY.
Honest typing error. ;)
Those kids playing with the toys at the end were pretty cute! Their imaginations were probably really active then.
Nice video. This is really cool. Little boys really love toy cars.
