John Lasseter Is John Lassetire In "Cars 2"

As I have mentioned many times in the past, I can't get enough of these CGI animated flicks. No matter what they are, I want to see them. "Cars 2" would obviously fall under that must see category featuring returning members of an all star voice cast that now includes John Lasseter. The Associated Press reports that the animators surprised the Pixar Chief by creating a character named John Lassetire in honor of their 25th anniversary which you can see in the sequel.

"It was news to me," said Lasseter, who is also serving as a director on the animated film. "I did not know about that, so I was a little surprised. I ended up voicing this character. It was just one line, but now I have a 'Cars' character. I'm very excited about that. He's a good ol' American pick-up truck, which I think is very appropriate for John Lassetire."
