The About.com Web site has details about Mattel toys coming from Pixar Animation Studios‘ Route 66 film, “Cars,” to be released June 9.
Below are some character assortment toys. FYI: The sheriff’s car is voiced by Michael Wallis, who wrote “Route 66: The Mother Road” and is technical adviser for the film.
This is the Fast-Talkin’ Lightning McQueen toy, which has animated eyes, a moving mouth, can be programmed for 15 tricks and can say more than 30 phrases.
Here are Zip Sticks Racers.
This is a Later Mater game, in which players must race the clock to put the rickety Mater tow truck back together.
Finally, here is the Mountain Challenge Playset: “Kids will have fun recreating all of the excitement from the Disney/Pixar movie set by making it past the wagon wheel that spins randomly from this moving playset. They have to control the lever to make it past and over the bridge without getting thrown off the ‘mountain.’ Kids will love loading several favorite CARS character cars onto the mountain and watch it shake with crazy action. Look out for that wacky spin-out curve, every time the cars go around, something different happens. The Mountain Challenge playset comes with one ‘Willy’s Butte’ deco Lightning McQueen die-cast car.”
That mountain, by the way, will remind many Route 66ers of Oatman Road in western Arizona.
