Pixar drifts Tokyo

Pixar drifts Tokyo

Remember Pixar's Cars? Good film, that. And not just because it featured the handsome, gravelly voice of Lieutenant Clarkson himself.

Well, Pixar's now working on Cars 2, set to hit the silver screen in 2011. But to tide us over until then, the cuddly Disney CGI-merchants have created an animated short starring Mater, Lightning McQueen and, er, the other ones. No Clarkson vocals, sadly, but it's bloody brilliant nonetheless.

Essentially it's a magnificent parody of The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, featuring heaps of modified Japanese metal and spoilers the size of, well, we won't spoil it for you, but take a look. It's brilliant.

 

Whether you're six or 60, it's well worth taking six minutes and 35 seconds out of your day to watch. Honest - even sensible, sedate grown-ups are allowed to watch this one. At least two or three of you out there must fit that description?

At 3.30 the truck slides through a restaurant. The name is written in Japanese, but it says Harryhausen, a clever nod to the movie making genius Ray Harryhausen who created the skeleton fight scene for the 1963 film Jason and the Argonauts.

JC was Lightning's agent "Herv", who was only ever witnessed as a phonecall - kinda like Charlie (that one with the Anglels). I think he should've been a Ford GT or something. Anyway, that was a really good short! The donuts bit made me literally LOL.
