The next Pixar sequel, CARS 2, is scheduled to open in Germany on July 28, 2011. The first film’s box-office result – 461 million US dollars – and the return of the first instalment’s director, John Lasseter, give reason to hope for well-made entertainment. Brad Lewis acts as co-director after already serving as a producer on Ratatouille.
