A dedicated boutique of Cars 2 merchandise can also be found online at Target.com/Cars2, which has an expanded assortment of products inspired by the film and an interactive experience featuring the movie’s exciting characters. The site also houses the exclusive, custom animated TV spot created by Disney·Pixar for Target, featuring favorite characters from the film.
