The film premiered in 3D at the 1989 SIGGRAPH convention in Boston.
When the film was attached to the theatrical run of Finding Nemo, the filmmakers modified the size of the two female characters' breasts. In the "Art of Pixar Short Films" book, John Lasseter said that the size reduction was not "...big bad Disney coming in and insisting we do this … it was our own choice. It was just crossing the line for me personally as a father, so I made the decision to reduce (these characters’) breast size.”

From this moment, everything will change. Disney/Pixar's Cars 3 opens in US theatres in 3D June 16, 2017. Blindsided by a new generation of blazing-fast racers, the legendary Lightning McQueen (voice of Owen Wilson) is suddenly pushed out of the sport he loves.

Character voice and Route 66 consultant Michael Wallis told WGBZ radio on August 17, 2013 that the film will be again set on historical California highways: "We did 'Cars 2,' which I'm glad to skip over because I didn't particularly care for it, but [for] 'Cars 3' we're coming back to the road. And we're coming back to 66 and to 99, the sixes upside down -- that's the road that runs right through central California."

OTHER NOTES/IMAGES/VIDEOS:
On December 7, 2015, Variety published an article commenting on the underperformance of the film's initial theatrical run: "Critically, the film has been positively reviewed and its A CinemaScore means that audiences have enjoyed it. That said, the film has not received the kind of rapturous response that 'Inside Out' or 'Up' have enjoyed. Pixar may be getting penalized for releasing a film that’s merely good as opposed to revolutionary" ("‘The Good Dinosaur’: Pixar May Suffer First Loss at Box Office")
Big episode! Presto director gets his own feature film, Lee goes home, Toy Story 3′s chances of winning Best Picture, how Up would be if The Simpsons’ Itchy and Scratchy were the stars. And more, folks. Give it a listen.
