Disney Cars – Jared's Little Corner

I absolutely love Cars! Mum + dad has been buying me diecast Cars ever since I was a little tot in hopes of completing each and every character from the film and its sequel. So far, I already have a handful of them, including Lightning McQueen, his mate, Mater, Sarge, Fillmore, Luigi + Guido, Red, Sheriff, Finn McMissile, Holly Shiftwell, + Italian racer Francesco Bernoulli.

For last Christmas, my parents got me another Cars diecast to add to my collection ~ Doc Hudson.

Here’s a short background about Doc Hudson from Wikipedia:

Doc Hudson {voiced by Paul Newman in his last non-documentary film role} is Radiator Springs’ local physician. His license plate read 51HHMD, which is a reference to his year and track number (51), model {Hudson Hornet} and profession {medical doctor}. A racer-turned-mechanic, the character has Newman’s blue eyes.

Did you know that Doc Hudson is based on the real-life Fabulous Hudson Hornet in NASCAR competition? It was introduced in 1951 and manufactured until 1954.

Cars 3 Trailer

I was overly excited when mum told me about the new trailer for Cars 3! If you are a regular reader of our blog, you probably know by now that I am a big fan of Lightning McQueen + have probably seen his first 2 films about a hundred times! 😀

I have never seen any of Lightning McQueen’s films on the big screen so I am really looking forward to watching Cars 3 at the cinema when it opens next year! 😀 Mum said we’d watch it on IMAX, but I have second thoughts about wearing a cool glasses while watching a film, so I am going to think about that first.

We have no idea on what Lightning’s new adventure will be, apart from what’s been shared on this trailer, but here’s a brief about the new film we got from Wikipedia:

Blindsided by a new generation of blazing-fast racers, the legendary Lightning McQueen is suddenly pushed out of the sport he loves. To get back in the game he will need the help of eager young female race technician Cruz Ramirez, with her own plan to win, plus inspiration from the late Doc Hudson. Proving that #95 isn’t through yet, he will test the heart of a champion on Piston Cup Racing’s biggest stage against his new rival, Jackson Storm.

Cars 3, the 3rd film in the Cars franchise will be shown on 16 June, 2017, so we only have 6 months to wait until we get to see Lightning McQueen and his gang. Are you also excited about the new Cars film? Which character is your favorite?

There are a number of other films to look forward to in 2017, among them are a number of my favorites. Will be sharing them here next, as soon as mum is done reading all about the cool presonus faderport.
