There are many who are looking at next week’s release of “Cars 3” and shrugging indifference, and even questioning why Pixar is bothering with a threequel. Well, the answer is money — the property is the most lucrative merchandising brand in their roster. And while you might not care about the franchise or the movie, it’s a safe bet that it’s going to be another global hit for the animation house.
Owen Wilson, Cristela Alonzo, Chris Cooper, Nathan Fillion, Larry the Cable Guy, Armie Hammer, Tony Shalhoub, Bonnie Hunt, Kerry Washington, Bob Costas, Margo Martindale, Isiah Whitlock Jr., and John Ratzenberger are just some of the extensive voice cast for this movie, which will tell a story that almost every kid can relate to — a midlife crisis! Here’s the official synopsis:

Blindsided by a new generation of blazing-fast racers, the legendary Lightning McQueen (voice of Owen Wilson) is suddenly pushed out of the sport he loves. To get back in the game, he will need the help of an eager young race technician, Cruz Ramirez (voice of Cristela Alonzo), with her own plan to win, plus inspiration from the late Fabulous Hudson Hornet and a few unexpected turns. Proving that #95 isn’t through yet will test the heart of a champion on Piston Cup Racing’s biggest stage!
“Cars 3” opens on June 16th.
