Pixar wants us to re-familiarize ourselves with the world of Cars. The sequel to the 2006 animated film is scheduled to hit theaters this summer, so we need to be in an automotive state of mind. The studio has released several character videos and biographies that feature cars from the past and present. Check out Mater, Finn McMissile, and the gorgeous Holley Shiftwell belowâ€¦

Finn McMissile

Finn McMissile is a master British spy. Though charming and eloquent, itâ€™s his stealth maneuvering, intelligence and years in the field that enable him to thwart unexpected attacks from bad guys, making quick daredevil escapes.. Finnâ€™s design is sleek and timeless, but heâ€™s also prepared for any tricky situation with an arsenal of ultra-cool gadgets and weaponry, including front and rear grappling hooks, a missile launcher, deployable magnetic explosives and a holographic disguise emitter. As a seasoned professional in the game of international espionage, Finn believes there is a conspiracy brewing during the World Grand Prix. His clandestine work surrounding the global exhibition race puts him on a collision course with Mater, whom he mistakes for an undercover American agent with a genius disguise.

Holley Shiftwell

Holley Shiftwell is a beautiful young British desk agent, turned spy-in-training whoâ€™s stationed in Tokyo. Well-educated and sharp, she knows every trick in the bookâ€"or rather, she relies on every trick in the spy manual. Sheâ€™s armed with the latest state-of-the-art spy equipment imaginable, from hidden cameras and concealed weapons to a telescoping utility arm and a holographic pop-up display. Holley is a highly motivated agent, but is fresh out of the academy, so her experience is based on lessons learned in school rather than real-life situations. When seasoned international spy Finn McMissile requires Holleyâ€™s technical expertise for his latest top-secret field operation, she finds herself pursuing a rendezvous with the most unlikely candidateâ€"Mater, an innocent caught up in the intrigue, who is mesmerized by the beauty of his newest friend.

Mater

Not long after their arrival in Tokyo, Mater learns that the world outside of Radiator Springs is decidedly different and its newfangled ways may take some getting used to.Â But when heâ€™s mistaken for an American secret agent, he falls into an intriguing adventure of his own. Caught between supporting his best friend on a globe-trotting racing competition and his new role in international espionage, Mater ends up in an explosive chase through the streets of Tokyo and Europe alongside a team of British spies and international bad guys.

Cars 2 is scheduled to hit theaters on June 24, 2011 and it will be available in 2D, 3D, and IMAX 3D.
