1 CARS PRODUCTION INFORMATION After taking ... - Disney

DOC HUDSON – A seemingly quiet country doctor (mechanic) with a
mysterious past, this 1951 Hudson Hornet is a cornerstone of Radiator Springs,
and also serves as town judge. Respected and admired by the townsfolk, Doc is
a car of few words, and is unimpressed by the town’s newest arrival – Lightning
McQueen. The speed-obsessed hotshot race car dismisses Doc as just an old
Grandpa car, but comes to discover that the old timer still has a few tricks under
his hood. Acting legend, Oscar ® -winner, and Guinness Book World Record
Holder (the oldest driver to win a professionally sanctioned race in 1995 in
Daytona) Paul Newman gives a winning performance as the voice of this
venerable vehicle.
SALLY CARRERA – This sporty 2002 Porsche 911 from California grew tired of
life in the fast lane, and made a new start for herself in Radiator Springs. As the
proprietor of the Cozy Cone Motel, and one of the town’s most optimistic
boosters, she has high hopes that it will one day return to its former glory, and
wind up “back on the map.” She takes an instant shine to Lightning McQueen,
and helps to steer him in the right direction. Multi-talented actress/filmmaker
Bonnie Hunt (“A Bug’s Life,” “Monsters, Inc.,” “Cheaper By the Dozen”) gives a
premium performance as Sally, with just the right blend of charm, intelligence
and wit.
MATER – This good ol’ boy tow truck may be a bit rusty on the outside, but he
has the quickest towrope in Carburetor County and is always the first to lend a
helping hand. Sweet and loyal to a fault, Mater befriends McQueen and sees his
potential as his new best friend, despite his many flaws. The self-proclaimed
“world’s best backwards driver,” Mater dreams of someday flying in a
helicopter, but stays grounded with his day job running “Tow-Mater Towing
and Salvage.” Comedy sensation Larry the Cable Guy gives a “tow-de-force”
vocal performance that is both hilariously funny and touching.
FILLMORE – Radiator Springs’ resident hippie is a 1960 VW bus who brews his
own organic fuel and preaches its many benefits. Visitors can check it out for
themselves in the tasting room behind his love-bead and tie dye covered
geodesic dome. His conspiracy theories and unkempt yard don’t sit well with his
neighbor, Sarge, but despite their frequent disagreements, they can’t live
without one another. Comedy legend George Carlin gives a far-out
performance as the voice of this peace-loving bus.
SARGE – This patriotic 1942 WWII Willy’s Army jeep runs Radiator Springs’
army surplus store, Sarge’s Surplus Hut, and is often found manicuring the lawn
in front of his Quonset hut into a precise flat-top. Although he likes to complain
about his VW bus neighbor, he knows that life is more interesting with Fillmore
around. Actor Paul Dooley (“Breaking Away,” “Desperate Housewives”)
sounds off as this regimented vehicle whose bark is worse than his bite.
