Mater reveals himself by accident and rushes to warn his friend, but is captured along Finn and Holley before being able to do so. Mater is put to sleep by some sleeping gas inside a trailer. While he's asleep, he dreams about the past few days in Japan. Realizing that he was embarrassing Lightning, when he didn't know and that everyone was laughing at him.
Then he remembers causing Lightning to lose the first race in Japan. This makes him realize that his normal actions in Radiator Springs can make others around feel embarrassed in public when he doesn't know it. Mater wakes up finding himself tied up in London inside Big Bentley with Finn and Holley, also tied up, minutes away from being crushed by its gears.
The last race begins, and the criminals use the electromagnetic pulse device on Lightning. But surprisingly, nothing happens. Mater learns that a bomb was put into Lightning's pit crew area, set to explode when Lightning stops there. Mater then manages to escape to warn his friends. Finn and Holley succeed in freeing themselves as well. But they find that the bomb is actually on Mater, swapped with his air filter.
They warn him about the bomb just when he is about to rejoin the others. And Mater flees to protect them, with Lightning going after him unaware of the situation. Professor Z tries to detonate the bomb remotely, only to find that the device is out of the signal's range.
He then orders his thugs to corner Mater with his friends to have them explode together, but Finn, Holley, the army and police helped by Sheriff and Sarge intervene and have him arrested. Mater then figures out that the true mastermind behind the criminal acts is none other than Sir Axlerod himself, whose aim was to have the world relinquish the use of all alternative fuels in favor of the oil reserves in his possession.
Axlerod ends up confirming Mater's suspicion when he is confronted by him and forced to deactivate the bomb with a voice command to prevent it from killing himself. For exposing Axlerod as a criminal mastermind, Mater is knighted by the Queen and returns home with his friends where the cars from the Grand Prix take part into their own unofficial Radiator Springs Grand Prix.
Fillmore reveals that Sarge replaced Lightning's Allinol before the last race with his own organic fuel mixture, which is what prevented Lightning from being affected by the electromagnetism.
Finn and Holley pay a visit to Mater, and invite him to join them in another secret mission. But he declines, claiming that he is in the place he should be. During the credits, Lightning McQueen and Mater are shown to be driving through various locations around the world before finally returning to Radiator Springs.
Three voice actors of the original Cars film have died since the first film had been released. Joe Ranft , who voiced Red and Jerry Recycled Batteries , died in a car accident in August during production of the first film. Red appears in the movie, and does an inaudible cry. George Carlin , who voiced Fillmore, died of heart failure in June Lloyd Sherr provided the voice of Fillmore in the film.
Paul Newman , who voiced Doc Hudson , died in September after losing an ongoing cancer battle. Lasseter was at first adamant that Newman would return, even though he had announced his retirement from acting. After Newman's death, Lasseter said that they would see how the story goes with Doc Hudson. In international versions of Cars 2 , Jeff Gorvette is replaced in one scene by a different character, voiced by a regionally better known racer than Jeff Gordon: [15].
Notable voices in the international versions are Sophia Loren, who voices Mama Topolino in 21 non-English countries, [26] [27] and Jacques Villeneuve, who voices David Hobbscap in the French versions.
Cars 2 was originally scheduled for a release, but Pixar moved the release down a year. John Lasseter conceived the sequel's story while traveling around the world promoting the first film. He said, " I kept looking out thinking, 'What would Mater do in this situation,' you know? I could imagine him driving around on the wrong side of the road in the UK, going around in big, giant traveling circles in Paris , on the autobahn in Germany, dealing with the motor scooters in Italy, trying to figure out road signs in Japan.
The spy theme of Cars 2 emerged from a scene developed for Cars , which would have seen Lightning and Sally go to the drive-in movie theater , where they would have seen a spy film.

There, McQueen's best friend Mater finds himself involved in international espionage, and alongside two professional British spies attempts to uncover a secret plan led by a mysterious mastermind and his criminal gang, which threatens the lives of all competitors in the tournament.
Going where no car has gone before. Animation Adventure Comedy Family Sport. Did you know Edit. An early scene implies that Hudson has died.
However, Fillmore the Volkswagen van, voiced by George Carlin , who also died in , appears here, voiced by Lloyd Sherr. Red the fire truck, voiced by Joe Ranft , who died in , also appears, but doesn't have any dialogue or vocalizations. The incorrect car is used, as the "trails" seem to correspond to the car's country, and the trails with Spanish flag colors red and yellow have what seems to be Lightning McQueen on them.
Quotes Uncle Topolino : Chi trova un amico, trova un tesoro. Crazy credits In the beginning of the credits, the story of Mater and Lightning's trip around the world is told through pastel-like, mildly animated postcard pictures. Alternate versions In international versions of Cars 2, Jeff Gorvette is replaced in World Grand Prix welcome party in Tokyo by a completely different character, voiced by a regionally better known racer than Jeff Gordon.
However, they only replace him in the scene where Lightning meets him at the party in Tokyo as well as when that scene appears in Mater's nightmare. They don't replace him in the races or when the racers are shocked at Mater drinking from the water fountain after eating a lot of wasabi.
Most of these characters use the same body shape as Max Schnell. User reviews Review. Top review. I know I'm WAY late on this by over a year.
Overall I liked it. Loved a lot of the new characters, especially Finn McMissile and the arrogant Italian car guy whatever his name was. Liked Raoue Carole as well. I just had two major pet peeves with it: it focused on Mater. Mater already had his own little spin-off of "Mater's Tall Tales" which I love. A movie centered on him just didn't do it for me. Had it been on Lightning like the first one or any other character I would have been okay.
