I guess we won't see Doc Hudson in Cars 2.

I hope Disney/Pixar is smart enough to record Don Rickles voice for Mr. Potato Head because he's pretty old as well..

Cool Hand Luke = Best movie ever.

Best wishes go out to the Newman family and friends from all of us here at WDWMagic.

From early reports of the Cars 2 storyline, it appeared that Doc Hudson would have limited role in the sequel since the plot is centered around Mater taking a worldwide trip with Lightning McQueen.

Also, Newman anounced his retirement in 2007 after years of battling cancer adding more doubt for him not returning for Cars 2.

The Sting is one of my all-time favorite movies.

I wonder if there is another star in Hollywood as generous as Paul Newman was. All of the profits from Newman's Own line of products goes to charity - over $250,000,000 since he started the enterprise. RIP, Mr. Newman. You did great things.
