A Message from the Director
Hi, everyone! I’m John Lasseter, and I am so excited to share my next film, Cars 2, with you. This is the story of our friend Lightning McQueen, who gets invited to the World Grand Prix, taking him to Tokyo, the Italian Riviera, and London. But the big story is that Mater is mistaken for a spy. With fast cars, exotic locations, and international intrigue, this movie is so much fun! And you get to present these beloved characters, as well as some new models, to our audiences. You get to see the kids in the lobby jumping up and down with excitement.
I ask you to make Cars 2 look and sound the very best it can in your theater. Without your commitment to excellent presentation, the audience doesn’t see how hard we work to make a beautiful image or a dynamic soundtrack.
You are our gatekeepers of quality. Please take the time to run through the movie before your first screening to be sure the picture looks bright and vibrant, and the audio levels are properly set. I count on you to help me bring my film to the audience in the best way possible.
I thank you from the bottom of my heart for making the presentations of all Pixar films the very best they can be!
— John Lasseter
About Cars 2
Perfect Projection
Most movies take years to make: hundreds of people working countless hours to deliver an experience that audiences will not forget. In the end, all of that effort pours through the lens in the projection booth, and is shown to audiences on a giant movie screen. No amount of attention during production is more important than that of the projectionist, who, with care and precision, shows the movie to the theater’s waiting guests. Bad projection can spoil the years of work that were put into the making of the movie. Perfect Projection literally makes it shine, and causes audiences to come back for more.
We at Pixar recognize the essential part that technicians and projectionists play in presenting our movies to the public, and want to provide help to make it perfect.
