I’m really getting into the Cars ad campaign. If you haven’t been paying attention, each week Disney has been releasing two cool computer desktop images, each featuring a character from the upcoming Pixar/Disney film and a car related countdown image. This week its fuzzy dice and Cars is only 7 weeks away. Of course, the pips on the dice count six, but who’s really paying attention? I mean, they’re Pixar rendered fuzzy dice!!!
This week’s new characters are sure to be fan favorites: Chick Hicks (voiced by Michael Keaton, who played a NASCAR racer in Herbie: Fully Loaded) and “The King” (voiced by Richard Petty who played a NASCAR racer in real life). I guarantee there will be women drooling over this image of The King just like the real thing.
Also released this week are images of the real Lightning McQueen and Sally, from Disney’s promotional Road Tour 2006. It’s life imitating art! For a list of Road Tour 2006 is heading, see our list below.
Check our image gallery to meet the new cars, see the real cars, or catch up on the past few week’s images.
