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

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

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"
