Cars 2

Went to see the latest Pixar film today, and enjoyed it (and particularly the Toy Story short film that was on before it...)
Cars 2 is a sequel to the film that introduced us to Lightning McQueen and Mater.
This time they are drawn into a James Bond style plot involving biofuels.
They visit Japan, Italy and France to take part in three races, and Mater ends up being roped in to help British agent Finn McMissile (voiced by Michael Caine) and Holley Shiftwell and visits Paris too.

The poster has a satisfyingly "global" look to it, and there are various cultural references throughout the film relating to the places that are visited.
The rendering of the cities, particularly London was predictably excellent.

My son liked the Japanese toilet episode.

I imagine the Finn McMissile toy will be popular this Christmas.
