The latest slew of Cars 2 character images and descriptions were just the tip of the iceberg…
Disney/Pixar marketing will attempt to replicate the Toy Story 3 campaign, in which new characters were teased at using silhouettes, for Cars 2. The upcoming film’s official Facebook page recently made the "Cars Showcase" tab available, featuring a sneak peek at the new cast.
The Pixar Times blog has done a fantastic job compiling the character silhouettes, so definitely head on over there to check those out. We’ve seen some of these characters in the trailer, such as Siddeley the jet, but a good majority is still shrouded in secrecy.
Keep a tab on the… Facebook tab, and on this blog, for all the latest on the new Cars 2 character reveals!
Thoughts?

I’ve seen the images already, and only about 3 or 4 of them have been seen in the trailers. The rest are going to be pretty new.
The first three characters were visible this morning.
Curiously I see that now they are no more there.
I can give a description :
The first one is Carla Veloso.
The second was named Raoul Çaroule, visibly a french.
I don’t remember the name of the third. Its a japanese.
Actually, the silhouette reveal didn’t originate with TS3.
Back when Cars was nearing its release date, Disney did the same thing on the Cars website. They did a slow rollout of their vehicle cast.
Anon— We posted those and took them down at Pixar’s request. Thanks anyway! 🙂
uruseiranma— Wow! I can vaguely remember that. What I was getting at was the whole blog rollout thing that they did with TS3. I think that was the first time Pixar ever did that.
This is like Toy Story 3 where they reveal a new character each week!
