The Making of Pixar’s ‘Cars’ and Disney Cars Toys
With a gross earning of over 0,000,000 worldwide, the 2006 animated film Cars by Pixar was 2006′s highest animated grossing film in the US, loosing only to Ice age: The Meltdown on the global scale. This revenue does not include income from the Disney cars toys industry.
Starting from the early stages of production the team in Pixar Studios started their research at the race tracks in Infineon Raceway ( Sonoma county), riding in race cars driven by expert drivers to feel how the cars move and react to speed and forces in the physics of the real world. They would also study traffic on the morning commute and went on a field trip along route 66 watching the small towns that were effected from the new highways and intersections that were built. The photos from this trips helped the modelers and environment designers build their scenes and unravel the story.
Animators studied the movements of athletes to see how they twist , turn and move and even took acting classes to get into the cars’ shoes (or tires).
