            Pixar is no stranger to putting some darker and sad imagery within their films in the past, but to have it outright in a teaser trailer? Well, that’s exactly what the juggernaut studio has done with the first teaser for Cars 3. The visuals look stunning but is this teaser too heavy for younger children? I say no but many of you may have other opinions as this is a Disney property.

            Cars 3 stars the legendary Lightning McQueen (voiced by Owen Wilson) in a new challenge he’s never faced before. He’s quickly getting pushed out of the sport he loves and needs help from an eager young technician, Cruz Ramirez plus the late Fabulous Hudson Hornet to get him reinvigorated and ready for another run at the Piston Cup. This is a bold but fantastic teaser by Disney and Pixar. I’m a fan of the first film in the franchise but everyone knows that Cars 2 is by far the worst Pixar movie ever made. Having said that, this makes me very excited to see the third movie in the trilogy.
