Cars 2 might be the number one film of the weekend, but Paramount has next weekend in the bag. The reason is obvious. Still, what's a better way to pave the way for the final epic battle between the Autobots and Decepticons than getting more in depth about a world of talking cars who are not only interested in racing, but are also into saving the world from criminal masterminds. In this film, the villain, from the beginning of the film, is Prof. Z (voiced by Thomas Kretschmann) who, along with his cronies, wanting to sabotage the World Grand Prix sponsored by a new source of clean fuel created by Sir Miles Axelrod (voiced by Eddie Izzard) who also set out the race through Japan, Italy, and London. Lightning McQueen's (voiced by Owen Wilson) a competitor after Mater (voiced by Larry the Cable Guy) makes a phone call on a talk show declaring that his best buddy was faster than his future rival Francisco Bernoulli (voiced by John Turturro). Once in Japan, Mater's mistaken as an American secret agent thanks to Finn and his partner Holley Shiftwell (voiced by Emily Mortimer) setting off on more chases, hi-jinks, and adventure one tow truck never would have expected in his life.
Notice how in the poster, McQueen's shown off to be the main character where this is Mater's film. Sure, select people in the audience won't be laughing at his schtick of being funny, but it won't matter to the kids.
