We’re kicking off the New Year by adjusting our rear-view mirrors and revving our engines for some exciting Cars 3 news. ComingSoon noted that ESPN aired a Cars 3 teaser advertisement (uploaded via Disney Docket) during a New Year’s Eve college football game.
The advertisement, while only 15 seconds in length, includes a few new shots that previously were not shown in the original Cars 3 trailer (released November 21) — for instance, a view of a dirt-track race, a closer look at the new hot-shot, Jackson Storm and much more.\
Additionally, the teaser’s main draw was the promise of an exclusive first-look airing on January 9th, during the College Football Playoff National Championships on ESPN at 8:00 PM EST.
News of the ESPN first-look reminded us of the Cars 3 special event being held on January 8 at The North American International Auto Show (held in Detroit, Michigan). Pixar Animation Studios is set to present an early look at the film, including a Cars 3-themed display and a life-size version of a Cars character (which we assume will be Lighting McQueen).
You can join us on January 9 at 10:00 PM EST / 7:00 PM PST to discuss the Cars 3 presentation from The North American International Auto Show and the Cars 3 ESPN exclusive look in more detail on our YouTube Live event. Watch directly on YouTube, or watch along right here (with the embedded video below).
Cars 3Â hits theaters on June 16, 2017.
