Timelapse Video

From “Cars” To “Cars Land”

The coolest thing about the world of Pixar’s Cars is that despite being “characters” they really set out to add just the right amount of realism and detail to make things believable.  Disney tends to use the same process when it comes to designing the rides and attractions at their theme parks.  For example at “Ramone’s House Of Body Art” in the soon to open Cars Land; Disney hired none other than Chip Foose and his crew to personally paint pinstripe designs and flames for the decor of the gift shop and in elements of the “Radiator Springs Racers” ride.  Knowing that when I check out the gift shop that the pinstripe designs on the walls and other areas of the shop were hand painted by Chip Foose himself makes me giddy!  Don’t judge me!  Anyhow check out the behind the scenes video of Chip and his crew adding their signature touch to Cars Land in the video below.  Remember Cars Land opens June 15th!
