First Official 'Cars 3' Poster Released

Right on the heels of the chilling teaser trailer last week, Yahoo! Movies has premiered the first official poster for Pixar's upcoming Cars 3.


Sporting the film's tagline "From this moment, everything will change," the striking poster captures the intense moment from the trailer that shook the world and traumatized children. Like the trailer, this poster is visually stunning and seems to serve as a powerful metaphor for the trials McQueen will face in the next chapter of his life.

Pixar Planet France also stumbled across a more vibrant international poster for the film, featuring McQueen—no longer in mortal danger—speeding across a beach.

McQueen Is a Wreck in 'Cars 3' Teaser Trailer


The first teaser trailer for Cars 3 was finally released on Monday. Those expecting more of the lighthearted antics of McQueen and Mater that have become a staple of the franchise may be in for a bit of a shock, however....



Looks like McQueen is in for a rough time in this threequel.

Unlike most of Pixar's teasers, which are usually pretty jovial, this one is bleak and humorless. The colors are muted. There is no dialogue, no jokes. Only a (gorgeously animated) race, which echoes the opening scene of the original Cars, and a very intense crash, which also harks back to Doc and the King's accidents in the first film.

One thing is certain; this teaser did its job because it has everyone talking about Pixar's next movie. Though the Cars franchise is often shunned and labelled as the inferior runt of the studio's prestigious library of films, the new 50-second teaser has set the internet ablaze, amassing over 4 million views in its first 24 hours and nabbing the #1 spot on YouTube's trends.

Cars 3 races into theaters next summer on June 16.
