'Cars 2' Daytona 500 Spot

Above you will find a brand new, minute-long spot for Cars 2 that aired this past weekend during the Daytona 500. The ad features tons of never-before-seen footage, and does a great job balancing the action, humor, and sheer amount new characters.

I'm still skeptical about Cars 2, but this television spot makes me slightly more optimistic--not because it makes the film look better, but just more fun. And, while I expect heart over fun from Pixar, a lot of fun in a movie is never something to be frowned upon.
