The Cars series isn’t Pixars strongest brand when it comes to movies.

While it’s merchandise selling skills are legendary, the movies always seem to come up short and seem to lack the imagination of other Pixar films. In fact most people think the Cars films were the first time where Pixar really didn’t put as much effort into this project as their others. Well, after the nightmarish car crash that was Cars 2, Pixar sets out to redeem themselves and the series with Cars 3, and it actually doesn’t look that bad.cars-3

The teaser shows Lightning Mcqueen (Owen Wilson) taking a sharp turn and then flying through the air. He’s also caught a bit on fire. The teaser ends with the tagline “Everything will change”. Even if the film goes back to being pretty mediocre next trailer, The visuals in this movie are freaking gorgeous. Check out the trailer below, and make sure to tell us what you think of the trailer in the comments.

In the next 3 years Pixar will release 4 new movies, but only 1 of them will be an original film, Coco, slated for release on November 22nd, 2017. But even before that we’ll be getting Cars 3 on June 16th, 2017. After that, Toy Story 4 will release on June 15th 2018, and then The Incredibles 2 will follow on June 21st, 2019. While Coco and The Incredibles 2 seem like exciting ventures, Cars 3 and especially Toy Story 4 seem to wear on peoples patience with the company. It’s also sparked mass debate about whether Pixar should be doing so many sequels when the quality of them has been pretty split among them.

Fear not though! In a recent interview with  Entertainment Weekly, Pixar president Jim Morris has stated that the company will be heavily focusing on original content after Toy Story and Incredibles as they’d rather start creating new stories rather than build upon their current franchises. Are you excited for Pixars shift back to original content, or are there still some sequels you want to see from them? Tell us in the comments below!
