Who co-directed Pixar’s Cars 2 with Brad Lewis?

John Lasseter co-directed Pixar’s Cars 2 with Brad Lewis.

Cars 2 is the 2011 sequel to Cars and expands the story beyond Radiator Springs. Lightning McQueen enters an international racing competition while Mater becomes involved in an espionage adventure involving secret agents and an energy technology conspiracy.

Lasseter had directed the first Cars and served as a major creative leader at Pixar. Brad Lewis, who had produced Ratatouille, made his directing debut with Cars 2. The film marked a shift toward a globe-spanning action format, with locations inspired by places including Japan, Italy, and the United Kingdom.

Cars 2 received mixed critical reviews compared with other Pixar films, but it performed strongly at the box office and continued the franchise’s commercial success. It was also Pixar’s first sequel released after Toy Story 3.
