Nice Cars Article

There is a really nice article on Cars over at CGSociety that gives some really good insight into how the film was conceptualized.



It's really neat to read what Bill Cone, co-production designer on the film, has to say about everything from using pastels for the concept art to how they animated the tires on the cars to add more life to them.

Here's a preview:
