However, new pictures – featuring Armie Hammer’s villainous Jackson Storm – look slightly more bubbly, reverting back to the style of the first two films.
Earlier this year, Pixar released yet another sequel, Finding Dory, the follow-up to the 2003 film Finding Nemo.
Following the release of Cars 3, Incredibles 2, and Toy Story 4, Pixar promises to begin focussing on original films once more.
Late last year, the debut trailer for Cars 3 teased a grittier tone, hinting Pixar may finally be trying to make a decent film based on McQueen’s adventures.
