Route 66 News reports on Michael Wallis being named a consultant for Cars Land, an attraction in the making for Disneyland in Anaheim, Calif.
"Disney Imagineering decided to enlist Wallis in the Cars Land project after talking to “Cars” director John Lasseter." says the article. "In March, Wallis says will guide Disney Imagineering’s creative team in a trip down Route 66 from the Texas-Oklahoma border area and west to the Arizona-California border. The team will research the terrain and architecture of the Mother Road. The trip will be reminiscent of when he guided Pixar’s creative team down Route 66 in 2001 and 2002."
You may remember Wallis as the author of Route 66: The Mother Road and the voice of Sheriff in Cars. Ron from R66N adds that Wallis still has no knowledge of a sequel to Cars.
