He also revealed that the idea for a sequel came to him as he was traveling the world doing publicity for the original movie. So the idea that cars will be shifted different environments is something that the creators are trying to come up with. The sequel will follow Mater the tow truck who gets his passport and takes a worldwide trip with Lightning McQueen.

A series of short interstitial Cars based cartoon titled Car toons will begin to air on the Disney Channel.One or two might even be shown theatrical before Disney released films. The shorts are structured as a Mater’s Tall Tales, and each new short will feature a new outrageous story. The first short in the series was shown. Mater explained to Lightning how he use to be a fire truck, and even saved McQueen from a burning building. There will be several other shorts in development. But this will be big news for many of the fans of the cartoon who have been waiting announcements of their favorite Pixar cartoons.
