Insider tip: Pixar's 'Cars' film has moved release date

Got this from a friend in California who is also in the animation industry:

We had company meeting today and they announced that
Pixar will release Cars in June 2006.
They consider that "Cars" is a summer movie.
Pixar board decided to release "Cars" for summer season.

Gotta hit the sweet spot for all those NASCAR fans. :)

Pixar, Disney delay release of 'Cars'

The Walt Disney Co. and Pixar Animation Studios Inc. on Tuesday announced they were postponing the theatrical release of their animated feature "Cars" to June 2006 from November 2005. Officials from both companies said the move was aimed at profiting from the potentially stronger box office attendance by out-of-school children. "Cars" is the last film to be produced by the two companies under their current partnership. (Reuters)
