Yesterday I posted the first image from Cars 2, Jamie brought you the first poster and now Disney Pixar have released the first trailer for the movie which we can expect in the UK July 22, 2011. They’ve also sent us a collection of new images to that feature within it.

The movie feature a voice cast which includes Owen Wilson, Tony Shalhoub, John Ratzenberger, Cheech Marin, Larry The Cable Guy, Bonnie Hunt and is directed by John Lasseter, Co-directed by Brad Lewis and produced by  Denise Ream. We also find out from this trailer that Sir Michael Caine is providing the voice of Finn McMissile! How cool!

Synopsis: Star racecar Lightning McQueen (voice of Owen Wilson) and the incomparable tow truck Mater (voice of Larry the Cable Guy) 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.  Torn between assisting Lightning McQueen in the high-profile race and towing the line in a top-secret spy mission, 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.  Adding to the fast-paced fun is a colorful new all-car cast that includes secret agents, menacing villains and international racing competitors.

John Lasseter returns to the driver’s seat to direct this follow-up to his 2006 Golden Globe®-winning “Cars.” “Cars 2” is co-directed by Brad Lewis, producer of the Oscar®-winning film “Ratatouille,” and produced by visual effects industry veteran Denise Ream (associate producer, “Up”; visual effects executive producer, “Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith”).
