Cars 2 3D Blu-ray (2011) [Region Free]

[TWright]

OK, so maybe it's a little premature to talk about a 3D BD release, but here's hoping I watched the 3D trailer for it at the beginning of another movie (I think it was Tangled?) and WOW, it sure looks nice. I'm not sure if any of you are gearheads, but if so you may remember Dave Deal. He was a prolific artist whose caricatures of cars were featured in many of the 60's & 70's "CARtoons" magazines as well as many hot rodding magazines. Even today if you thumb through Motor Trend you're likely to find his work in an ad or two. He also designed the Deal's Wheels car models of the 60's & 70's. He was a good friend of mine and he passed away not too long ago of cancer. What you might not know is that he generated the character designs for Cars and Cars 2 (in sketch form) and worked with Pixar to tweak them into the animated versions. It's a shame he wasn't able to see this 2nd movie in completed form, especially in full 3D glory I'm looking forward to its release at the theaters this summer, and hopefully a home 3D release later this year, fingers crossed
