Audio Commentary: Directors John Lasseter and Brad Lewis plow into the world of Cars 2 with an extensive, nearly non-stop commentary that covers every aspect of the production, from the film's origins to its story development to its animation and final cut. And while Lasseter sometimes sounds as if he's reading from notes, the resulting dissection is no less engaging. It would have been nice to hear from Lewis a bit more, but Lasseter keeps things clipping along. Pixar junkies might even find themselves warming up to the sequel after listening to such a passionate, enthusiastic overview of its production. Hawaiian Vacation (HD, 6 minutes): A great little Toy Story 3 animated short in which Buzz, Woody and the gang try to cheer up Barbie and Ken by staging an impromptu trip to Hawaii… in Bonnie's room.
