To counterbalance this, the writing team wanted to show that McQueen was at risk of losing thing he cherished most and hoped to show the audience what it was about the sport that McQueen truly valued. Up come these new guys and itвЂ™s more about technique and winning and you sense kind of a warmth sliding out of the sport and thatвЂ™s why you feel a little unnerved when all these rookies start replacing him. вЂњYou see these older guys and they are having fun together and thereвЂ™s camaraderie. вЂњItвЂ™s interesting because itвЂ™s a mirror but his generation is colder,вЂќ said Peterson.

Rich said it was a great opportunity for the team to create a mirror image of Lightening McQueen as he appeared in the original CARS film вЂ“ a young, brash cocky rookie race car. As the antagonist often helps to propel the story forward and aid the hero, in this case McQueen, to complete his journey, itвЂ™s a very special role. In addition to figuring out what McQueenвЂ™s problem would be, the writing team had to decide who the antagonist in the film would be. Do you crumple or do you rise up and change?вЂќ In this case, it was what do you do when youвЂ™re not as fast any more and you have people behind you that are faster. In all these films we look for a universal truth that everyone can sort of identify with whether itвЂ™s toys or fish or whatever as long as there is something we can all learn from, a parable that is being told about life in a universal way. вЂњBut then they have to figure out when they start to become obsolete, what do you do? We found that a very interesting way to go with this story. вЂњThese guys are on top of the world just as McQueen is,вЂќ said Peterson. First Look Concept Art by Noah Klocek / В©2016 Disney Directed by Brian Fee (storyboard artist вЂњCars,вЂќ вЂњCars 2вЂќ) and produced by Kevin Reher (вЂњA BugвЂ™s Life,вЂќ вЂњLa LunaвЂќ short), вЂњCars 3вЂќ cruises into theaters on June 16, 2017. INSPIRED - When Lightning McQueen (voice of Owen Wilson) finds himself suddenly pushed out of the sport he loves, he gets help from an eager young race technician, Cruz Ramirez. Writer, Bob Peterson added that they looked at the careers of Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan, too. Rich said they visited with athletes like Jeff Gordon to gain insights. They viewed CARS 3 as the third act in the overall CARS story line, which means that McQueen is a little past the midpoint of his racing career. The team of writers looked at careers of big athletes that were in a similar career space that McQueen is. Things were going well for himвЂ¦ so we knew what we would have to do with McQueen is make him vulnerable and take him down a notch.вЂќ The last race we saw Lightening McQueen he was on top of the world.

вЂњOne thing we didnвЂ™t have was Lightening McQueen didnвЂ™t have a problem,вЂќ said Rich. According to Rich, one of the greatest opportunities and challenges to creating the new film was working the iconic character, Lightening McQueen.

Mike Rich was one of the early writers on Cars 3, who had the joy of sitting down with John Lasseter (Chief Creative Officer of Pixar) to talk about creating CARS 3.

If you are curious to learn more and donвЂ™t mind finding out a fact or two from the plot of the filmвЂ¦ read on! Last month, I had a very exciting opportunity to learn in-depth details on the story behind the story of the upcoming film, CARS 3 (in theaters 6/16.) I attended вЂњThe Story of Our StoryвЂќ presentation with speakers with CARS 3 writers Kiel Murray, Bob Peterson, and Mike Rich and CARS 3 Story Supervisor, Scott Morse. ItвЂ™s one of the reason I truly love вЂњextrasвЂќ that are released with new titles that deliver behind-the-scenes views. All of these delicious details can truly enhance your film-viewing experience, though. Do you ever wonder how stories are developed for a film? Me, too! Often, thereвЂ™s so much that goes into the script-writing process that we never see or hear about.
