*UPDATED* The Caffeine Patch: Cars 2 Update

It's been quite a while since I last posted something for this section. So, when the opportunity arose, I had to take it. Even though it's still quite far into the future, the release of Disney/Pixar's "Cars 2" won't take quite as long to arrive as initially expected. The sequel is now set to be released in theaters in the summer of 2011 instead of 2012. It may be a while from now, but I felt the need to give an update on my previous news item regarding the subject. What might this mean, then, for the previously scheduled summer '11 release for "Newt?" My guess: they will probably just switch the two.

UPDATE: In related news (& to have this post make more sense), Disney/Pixar's new animated short series "Cars Toons," which is based on the movie "Cars" & stars the film's character Mater, is set to premiere on Toon Disney on Monday, October 27th. The John Lasseter-directed series' schedule is as follows:

• Monday, 10/27 @ 6:56 pm ET - "Rescue Squad Mater"
• Tuesday, 10/28 @ 6:57 pm ET - "Mater The Greater"
• Wednesday, 10/29 @ 6:57 pm ET - "El Materdor"

Disney Channel will air the shorts all day on Saturday, November 1st, while ABC Family will present them starting December 23rd as a part of their "25 Days Of Christmas" event. This sounds exciting!
