Disney Cars Launchers

Need For Speed -The Disney Cars Launchers

Disney Cars Launchers
The Disney Cars Launchers are yet another great addition to any Disney Cars Diecast Collection or to be collected separately . The launchers are made out of sturdy plastic and would fit most cars that are part of the Launcher series. Just place your favorite car in the dock , pull….release and your vehicle is on its way. The rubber bands are strong and should hold for continuous use , but if torn can be easily replaced by regular household rubber bands and it works the same.
There are 2 lines of Launchers : Race-Off & Lightyear which comes with a racing wheel like Carrying Case.

Lego To Replace Mega Block’s in Cars 2 Construction Toys

By David | Published February 1, 2010

Lego has signed a deal with Disney to license block toys for the next two blockbuster children’s movies – Toys Story 3 & Cars 2

In one of the most exciting License deals Lego has joined forces with Disney to bring the Disney world to life for millions of Lego fans. Beginning in 2010 we will see Lego and Lego Duplo sets for Toy Story, Cars and the new Disney/Jerry Bruckheimer film Prince of Persia: Sands of Time.
Mostly because Disney Cars would come out only in Duplo (Aimed for younger users) it looks like it’s time to say goodbye to Mega Bloks … which actualy did a great job a large number of sets and toys from the Mega Bloks Cars Series.
Danish toy giant Lego is threatening to chip away at the very foundation upon which Canada’s Mega Brands was built a quarter century ago by setting its sights on the preschool construction category.

“We will become a much more significant share of that preschool market in the years to come,” Lego Americas president Soren Torp Laursen boldly predicted. In addition to regular blocks based on Disney licences, Lego will also adapt them to its Duplo line of larger blocks that cater to toddlers. All tie in with its traditional building blocks.
Mega Brands has high hopes for its licences with Nickelodeon and Thomas the Tank, the world’s most popular boys preschool line in the world.
In fact, Mega and Lego switched key licences this year with Mega picking up Thomas and shedding Disney.

First Release Of Disney Cars 2 Concept Art Image

By David | Published January 27, 2010

Disney has just released the first Conecpt Art Image from the Cars 2 Movie

Cars 2 Title

Next year , June 24th 2011 to be exact, Pixar would be releasing the Cars Movie Sequel – Cars 2 , World Grand Prix. With more than 15 months ahead , Pixar has released the first concept art image from their storyboard giving us a glimpse of what’s in stored for us and what they’re already been doing for quite some time .

The new colored concept art image, found on Disney’s Annual Shareholder report , shows McQueen racing in front of Mt Fuji in Japan
Disney Cars 2 World Grand Prix Concept Art
As revealed last year that Cars 2 will see Lightning McQueen, his pit team and pit boss Mater, heading around the world for the Race of Champions taking place in five different countries with champions from different disciplines like Formula One and rally driving. Apparently “Mater gets involved in a ‘Hitchcockian’ case of mistaken identity, saves the life of a British secret agent called Finn McMissile (who looks a lot like an Aston Martin) and becomes embroiled in a huge spy thriller. Only no-one believes him. That too comes to a head at Buckingham Palace.” Former Pixar producer Brad Lewis is making his directorial debut on Cars 2.
In the next video , John Lasseter , Cars director and today’s chief creative officer at Pixar and Disney, is breaking out the story of how he came up with the idea for the new Cars movie . “the idea for this came to me as I was traveling around Europe doing publicity for the for movie ‘Cars.’ I kept finding myself thinking what would Mater do, driving on the opposite side of the road … and getting stuck in giant roundabouts in Paris … and in Italy with all the scooters … if I get the opportunity to do a sequel for ‘Cars’ I’d love to take them here to Europe”

Disney Cars Lenticulars

Disney Cars Lenticular – what’s available and how’s it’s done

Disney’s Lenticular Cars

Disney Cars Lenticulars
The Lenticular Series adds another level of personalty and fun to already amazing collection of Disney Diecast Cars . The new Disney Cars animated sensation continues with the Cars Character Cars Assortment featuring character vehicles with changing lenticular eyes that really bring the characters to life! These 1:55 scale die-cast cars are big on personality and detail. There are currently 2 releases of Disney Cars Lenticulars referred as Series 1 & 2 offering different and attractive designs.

Lenticular Printing

The Cars Character With Lenticular Eyes use the Lenticular Printing Technology.
Lenticular printing is a technology in which a lenticular lens is used to produce images with an illusion of depth, or the ability to change or move as the image is viewed from different angles. The lenticular printing include Disney Cars that showed flip and animation effects such as winking eyes, and modern airport advertising graphics that change their message depending on the viewing angle. This technology was created in the 1940s but has evolved in recent years to show more motion and increased depth. Originally used mostly in novelty items, lenticular prints are now being used as a marketing tool to show products in motion.

How does Lenticular Printing work?

Lenticular Printing Production
Images are interlaced on the substrate.
This process takes a batch of images and prints alternating strips of each image on the back of a transparent plastic sheet. The plastic sheet has a series of curved ridges. Each curved ridge is a lenticule. When light passes through the plastic sheet, it is reflected from smooth white paper under the plastic sheet. The end result is that a single eye or camera looking at the print sees a single whole image, but an eye or camera with a different angle of view will see a different image.
