Can John Lasseter Save Cars 2?

John Lasseter is a Pixar giant who has directed Toy Story, Toy Story 2, Cars, and A Bug’s Life.  He wasn’t supposed to be a part of the sequel to Cars, Cars 2 but rumor has it the movie’s in trouble and John’s been brought in to fix it.  The movie had already been pushed back to a December, 2011 release.

Now it seems that Cars 2 will be done in time for summer, with a release date in June, 2011 and Lasseter will be given a credit as co-director.  I’m not worried.  One thing that makes Pixar movies stand out in excellence is the close attention they pay to detail and storyline.  There’s a reason the studio is always winning awards! I think bringing in the expert will improve the final product, and Pixar’s never disappointed me yet.  What do you think?  Is Cars 2 in trouble or will it be awesome?
