Star racecar Lightning McQueen and the incomparable tow truck Mater take their friendship to exciting new places in “Cars 2” when they head overseas to compete in the first-ever World Grand Prix to determine the world’s fastest car. But the road to the championship is filled with plenty of potholes, detours and hilarious surprises when Mater gets caught up in an intriguing adventure of his own: international espionage. Mater finds himself torn between assisting Lightning McQueen in the high-profile race and towing the line in a top-secret mission orchestrated by master British super spy Finn McMissile and the stunning rookie field spy Holley Shiftwell. Mater’s action-packed journey leads him on an explosive chase through the streets of Japan and Europe, trailed by his friends and watched by the whole world. The fast-paced fun includes a colorful new all-car cast, complete with menacing villains and international racing competitors.
My girls LOVE Cars and were super excited to get Cars 2. Of course they had to watch it immediately and were easily drawn in by it’s magic. I love how they are entertained and at the same time learn lessons that help them in life. I know sounds silly, but as a mom I’m always looking for ways for them to learn and when movies like this can teach them about different parts of the world. They loved how the cars were in Japan and Europe. They have no clue where they are, but because my husband travels over seas, they are always interested in learning where he goes. So we pulled out the world atlas and showed them where Japan and Europe were and we talked about the things that were different there.
My oldest daughter remembered seeing a film about Japan on our recent trip to Disney’s Epcot so that tied it all together for her. Like I said, it’s cool when fun things for them, turn into something educational. That’s a win/win for mom and dad!
