When is cars 2 released in uk

Mater is shocked and accidentally sheds his disguise and is recognized as an American spy. The lemons draw their weapons, while Mater accidentally draws his weapons, and a happens. This little problem saves Mater, and he flees using a parasol which Finn gave him and flies directly for Lightning, who is still swamped by the press. Mater breaks through barricades and crowds and is about to warn Lightning when Mater is immediately captured by Lemons, and he is replaced by Ivan, an imposter tow truck who distracts Lightning while Mater is thrown into a cargo container.

While Mater is asleep, Mater dreams of his own immatureness and lack of immaturity, as demonstrated from scenes in Japan that were earlier in the film. He is tied up to the ceiling and is hanging 90 feet over a dangerous set of gears. Below him, Finn and Holley are also tied up, about to be smashed and crushed by a pair of intersecting gear cogs. As they are held captive, Mater moans the situation as he finally tells Finn and Holley he is not a spy, and they now understand that Mater's "immature act" is not an act at all and that Mater is just himself.

Mater puts the blame campaign on himself for what happened to Lightning before two lemons appear. They see that Mater, Finn, and Holley are awake and tell them that they have the pulse camera aimed at Lightning McQueen, who is still alive sitting at the starting line.

The two Lemons brag that they're going to kill McQueen, and Mater is to watch at Zundapp's order; this horrifies Mater. At the pits for the race, McQueen talks to the others about that Mater is still missing as they state Sheriff and Sarge that are looking for help. However, the talk is interrupted as Axlerod comes to Lightning's pit stall to thank him for his decision because of how the fans reacted to the race crash in Porto Corsa. He even hoped McQueen will win so that his creation will be given the popularity it deserved.

Sally tells McQueen to race for Mater, which he agrees to. The race begins as the lemons aim the pulse gun at Lightning and pull the trigger, while a horrified Mater looks on as the pulse gun is about to fire. To their surprise, Nothing happens, and Lightning does not explode, and they are confused as Zundapp contacts them and angrily questions this before telling them to go to the backup plan.

Mater questions this plan, and they tell him that they have planted a bomb in Lightning's pit and it will explode. The two Lemons quickly leave to meet with Professor Zundapp. Mater manages to free himself from his bonds and offers to save Finn and Holley, but he is told instead to save his friends at the pit stall. Mater obliges and takes off to save his friends. Finn and Holley are two minutes away from being smashed and crushed in the clock tower when she manages to turn back the clock in Big "Bentley" Clock Tower, which sends the clock's gears in reverse and saves them both.

Now free, the two find Mater's air filter is discarded on the ground. They both realize that the two lemons have actually lied to them, and the bomb isn't in the pit; it's planted on Mater, in taking the place of his air filter. Holley sprouts her weaponry wings while Finn takes off on the ground to both save Mater and stop Professor Zundapp from exploding the bomb. Mater quickly makes his way onto the track and arrives at Lightning's pit; he is surprised to see all of his friends are there because of him and warns them of the bomb before Finn contacts him and tells him the bomb is on Mater.

Mater, now aware of where the bomb is, seeks to outrun Lightning, who immediately spots him and is about to apologize to Mater. Instead, Lightning hooks himself to Mater, who sprouts a pair of rocket boosters given by Finn , and the two burst through the track wall into the streets of London. Professor Zundapp tries exploding the bomb, but by now, Mater and Lightning are so far away, the bomb is well out of range.

Finally, Holley and Finn arrive, with the latter ordering Holley to handle Mater's situation while he goes after Zundapp, and a chase takes place between them. Meanwhile, the lemons go after Lightning and Mater. Professor Zundapp arrives at the docks, where his ship is waiting for him to board, but Finn is close behind and manages to grapple himself to the Professor's back bumper. Unfortunately, the ship produces a giant magnet, and a tug of war between the ship and Finn occurs.

Finn immediately projects several magnetic grenades toward the ship's magnet, which causes it to explode. Holley catches up to Mater and McQueen; she tells him to stop, but he refuses, and she is forced to stop the lemons from earlier to prevent them from attacking Mater and McQueen.

After Holley dive swipes them, the two lemons crash into a royal bar and get beaten up and destroyed by other angry cars who mash them up for it. In the center of London, Mater, and McQueen finally stop as Holley states they have to disarm the bomb that was planted on Mater. Lightning is shocked at this situation and questions who put a bomb on Mater.

Immediately, Finn arrives with a tied-up Professor Zundapp, who angrily questions McQueen on why his death ray didn't kill him, which shocks McQueen even more. At Finn's demands, Professor Zundapp reveals the bomb is voice-activated, which means it can be deactivated by voice.

Mater quickly attempts to disarm the bomb using voice activation but discovers that the bomb has a fail-safe for such a scenario. It begins counting down from 4 minutes. Professor Zundapp states the bomb can only be disarmed by whoever's voice is that armed it, as Holley threatens Professor Zundapp to disarm it. He obliges, but the heroes are shocked to find the bomb's timer count down from 4 to 3 minutes, meaning that Zundapp did not arm the bomb.

When he asks if anyone else would try, Holley zaps him unconscious with her Taser Beam, defeating him once and for all. As they wonder what to do, the lemons and their army arrive to make sure the bomb goes off. Lightning notes they are the ones who want him dead, which they confirm but state that it's not personal.

Mater tries to talk them out of it though his explanation of becoming rich and powerful only further encourages them but luckily everyone from Radiator Springs show up and helps them defeat all the criminals. As the remaining lemons try to flee from the area, Sarge appears with the British military who presumably take the remaining villains into custody. Afterward, Guido tries to unscrew the bolts of the bomb planted on Mater, but none of Guido's wrenches fit the bolts.

With only 2 minutes left, Mater soon envelops his mind around the situation and believes that he has actually realized who the identity of the Big Boss is, who should be able to disarm the bomb using his voice.

Mater, using his rockets and parachute, blasts himself and Lightning across London to the race's finish line. There he finds Miles Axlerod and the Queen of England. Mater tells everyone that someone is sabotaging the racers, and he knows who before bowing to the Queen, revealing the bomb to the guards, causing a panic. Finn arrives, telling them Mater cannot disarm it before Lightning tells Mater to reveal his claims, and Mater states the Big Boss was Axlerod.

Everyone pays attention as Mater states that he figured it out, as the bomb on him holds the same bolts as the engine he saw from the photo. Mater has Holley show the picture before states Miles Axlerod is the one who leaked oil at the party in Japan, and he had really just blamed it on Mater.

Axelrod denies this by stating electric cars don't use oil, but Mater states Axelrod is really faking being an electric car and says that they'll see the engine from the photo if they open up his hood.

Axelrod tries to rebuke this as everyone questions Mater's theory, and he says Axelrod admitted to this after he used his disguised voice for everyone to hate Allinol so the world would use oil. Axelrod states that the notion is preposterous as the Queen's grandson wants to get her from the scene, but she wants to see where things are going. Finn states to Mater that Axelrod was the one who created the fuel, but Mater brings up the possibility of Axelrod finding the oil wells in the ocean and creating Allinol as a sham to make alternative fuel look bad to profit from oil.

Axelrod denies this, even asking if Mater is basing this on a wild theory before The Queen and her guards leave with Axelrod begging for help but is ignored. He tells Mater to back off as the bomb's timer ticks down from 10 seconds as Mater is face to face with Axlerod. Everyone braces for the explosion as the timer counts down at 1 before Axlerod quickly deactivates the bomb, and it is revealed Mater was right. The bomb shuts down for good as the guards surround Axelrod, Mater lifts the defeated villain's hood, and the engine is the same as the Lemon's big boss, which Holley and Finn confirm.

Axelrod then questions how Mater figured out his plan, as Lightning apologizes to Mater for harshly snapping up about him and Lightning convinces Mater that he is from now on coming to all his races.

As thanks for defeating Axlerod's plans, Mater is soon knighted by the Queen of England though he insists on just being called Mater. He soon introduces Lightning and Finn and back forth before introducing them to the Queen. When the team returns home to Radiator Springs, where Mater is as much a celebrity as Lightning.

He brags about his flying British girlfriend, as his story is met with skepticism until Finn and Holley arrive, confirming the story. Mater introduces Finn as an agent to everyone and is about to do the same with Holley, who interrupts by stating she and Mater are a couple, which shocks Guido, who, as Luigi puts it now, believes Mater's claims. Holley is now sporting her own dent, which she refuses to fix like Mater. McQueen is still confused about something; he brings up Zundapp, stating that the death ray should have killed him as he and Mater question why didn't he explode.

Finn and Holley state they are perplexed, too, as they reveal Allinol is just regular gasoline, modified by Axelrod to explode when targeted. McQueen asks Fillmore about his claims of his fuel being safe as Fillmore admits that Sarge had used Fillmore's alternative fuel in place of the Allinol because it was bad. Sarge confirms this while awkwardly using Fillmore's catchphrase "Man" as he is teased by him for it by the latter. Back in Radiator Springs, the same race cars from the WGP get invited to an unofficial Radiator Springs Grand Prix, free of the press, video cameras, bright lights, and parties.

Lightning jokes with Francesco, and the race begins. Mater joins the race with the rockets as he and Lightning compete. Siddeley arrives and tells Finn and Holley that they've been called onto another mission and that the Queen has personally requested Mater's involvement. Mater immediately turns them down, saying that he's happy to be home and doesn't want to leave on another adventure yet.

Holley says they understand, but she'll return soon since he owes her a first date, and Finn and Holley leave Mater with the weaponry they gave him before they take off.

The film ends with Mater telling Lightning that he will see Lightning at the finish line first while Finn's spy jet winks and flies off.

Joe Ranft , who voiced Red and Jerry Recycled Batteries , died in a car accident in August during production of the first film.

Finn McMissile and Holley Shiftwell find that the agents are coming after Mater, and manage to have him flee to the streets by hacking the transmitter he is using to pass instructions to Lightning, which ends up having Lightning surrendering the lead to Francesco by mistake. Finn manages to save Mater from his pursuers, but Lightning blames Mater for losing the race and claims that he does not need his help anymore.

Saddened for having his best friend angry on him, Mater leaves to the airport to take a plane home. But once again, he is pursued by the Professor's thugs just to be rescued in time by Finn. McQueen is greeted by locals in Carsoli.

In Porto Corsa , Italy, where the second leg of the Grand Prix is being held, Mater manages to infiltrate one of the criminals' meetings disguised as Ivan , another tow truck. He finds that the mysterious chain of accidents occurring during the races is part of a plan to discredit the Allinol and ensure that all cars keep using conventional fuel to secure the profits of their organization, who managed to secure the largest unexplored oil resources in the world.

With most cars out of the race due to the explosions, Lightning and Francesco end up in first and second respectively. Sir Axlerod states that with the Allinol under suspicion, he decides to suspend use of the fuel for the third and final leg in the UK, but Lightning states that he trusts Axlerod's fuel by Fillmore 's advice and will keep using it.

The criminals then decide to have Lightning killed in the next race. Mater reveals himself by accident and rushes to warn his friend, but is captured along Finn and Holley before being able to do so. Mater is put to sleep by some sleeping gas inside a trailer.

While he's asleep, he dreams about the past few days in Japan. Realizing that he was embarrassing Lightning, when he didn't know and that everyone was laughing at him. Then he remembers causing Lightning to lose the first race in Japan.

This makes him realize that his normal actions in Radiator Springs can make others around feel embarrassed in public when he doesn't know it. Mater wakes up finding himself tied up in London inside Big Bentley with Finn and Holley, also tied up, minutes away from being crushed by its gears. The last race begins, and the criminals use the electromagnetic pulse device on Lightning. But surprisingly, nothing happens. Mater learns that a bomb was put into Lightning's pit crew area, set to explode when Lightning stops there.

Mater then manages to escape to warn his friends. Finn and Holley succeed in freeing themselves as well. But they find that the bomb is actually on Mater, swapped with his air filter. They warn him about the bomb just when he is about to rejoin the others. And Mater flees to protect them, with Lightning going after him unaware of the situation. Professor Z tries to detonate the bomb remotely, only to find that the device is out of the signal's range. He then orders his thugs to corner Mater with his friends to have them explode together, but Finn, Holley, the army and police helped by Sheriff and Sarge intervene and have him arrested.

Mater then figures out that the true mastermind behind the criminal acts is none other than Sir Axlerod himself, whose aim was to have the world relinquish the use of all alternative fuels in favor of the oil reserves in his possession. Axlerod ends up confirming Mater's suspicion when he is confronted by him and forced to deactivate the bomb with a voice command to prevent it from killing himself.

For exposing Axlerod as a criminal mastermind, Mater is knighted by the Queen and returns home with his friends where the cars from the Grand Prix take part into their own unofficial Radiator Springs Grand Prix. Fillmore reveals that Sarge replaced Lightning's Allinol before the last race with his own organic fuel mixture, which is what prevented Lightning from being affected by the electromagnetism.

Finn and Holley pay a visit to Mater, and invite him to join them in another secret mission. But he declines, claiming that he is in the place he should be. During the credits, Lightning McQueen and Mater are shown to be driving through various locations around the world before finally returning to Radiator Springs.
