Owen Wilson and Eddie Izzard Talk Cars 2

Owen Wilson returns to provide the voice of hotshot race car Lightning McQueen in Cars 2, the sequel to the 2006 Pixar hit. In this action-heavy sequel, Lightning McQueen takes up the challenge of proving he's the fastest car in the world by participating in an international competition known as the World Grand Prix. Mater, voiced by Larry the Cable Guy, tags along to hang out with his best buddy, but instead of keeping busy as part of Lightning's pit crew, he gets tangled up with British spies (voiced by Michael Caine and Emily Mortimer).

Eddie Izzard's character Sir Miles Axlerod enters the picture as the creator of the World Grand Prix, a retired oil baron who's come up with a clean-burning new fuel known as Allinol. Together for the LA press day of the animated comedy, Wilson and Izzard talked about lending their voices to these animated cars, working with John Lasseter, and the appeal of being a part of a Pixar project:
