The North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) announced today that Pixar Animation Studios will host a press conference on Sunday afternoon 8 January 2017 to preview an upcoming summer film – Cars 3.
Pixar will debut of a life-size version of one of the film’s stars. Pixar will also create a special “Cars 3” display on the show floor for the thousands of journalists and nearly a million individuals that will visit during the run of show.
“With every film that we make at Pixar, we do our best to create worlds and characters that ring true to our audiences, “said “Cars 3” director Brian Fee. “A huge part of doing this successfully lies in the extensive research that we do on each film. ‘Cars 3’ is a love letter to racing and its roots, so we could not be more excited to be a part of the North American International Auto Show to share a little bit of our film with our fellow car enthusiasts.”
About Cars 3
Blindsided by a new generation of blazing-fast racers, the legendary Lightning McQueen (voice of Owen Wilson) is suddenly pushed out of the sport he loves. To get back in the game, he will need the help of an eager young race technician, Cruz Ramirez, with her own plan to win, plus inspiration from the late Fabulous Hudson Hornet, and a few unexpected turns. Proving that #95 isn’t through yet will test the heart of a champion on Piston Cup Racing’s biggest stage!
