FILM NOTES

Cars 2 was released by Walt Disney Pictures and Pixar Animation Studios in June 2011, directed by John Lasseter. A sequel to the beloved 2006 original, it marked Pixar's first direct follow-up to one of their properties and represented the studio's continued dominance in theatrical animation during the early 2010s. The film performed strongly at the box office and remains a notable chapter in the Pixar catalog.
