Cars 2 (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is the soundtrack album to the 2011 Disney/Pixar film of the same name composed by Michael Giacchino. It was directed by John Lasseter, a sequel to Cars (2006) and the second film in the Cars franchise. The film is scored by Michael Giacchino in his first and only collaboration with Lasseter. The film marked Giacchino's fourth Pixar film after The Incredibles, Ratatouille and Up, which was also by Lasseter and also the fourth Pixar film not to be scored by Randy Newman or Thomas Newman. The score was recorded at the Eastwood Scoring Stage for over six to seven weeks, whereas the orchestra recording happened for six to eight days.[1] The album was released by Walt Disney Records on June 14, 2011, ten days ahead of the film's release, and featured songs performed by Weezer, Robbie Williams, Brad Paisley and Perfume, with Giacchino's score accompanying the remainder of it.[2]
