The Facts and Stats on the Cars 2 Triptych


Soon after the spectacular Cars 2 triptych poster was released on Thursday, there was a set of facts all about the miraculous piece of art. I had wondered, since it was so incredibly detailed, how long it had taken to make. Turns out, the the triptych took 5 months to complete! That's nearly half a year!
