It will feature characters from the Disney animated feature film "Cars 2", popular with children and a wide range of age groups. This is a tie-up program with the Walt Disney Company (Japan) Ltd., commemorating the release of Cars 2 on Blu-Ray and DVD.
The event will be held at the same time as the 42nd Tokyo Motor Show 2011 in order to attract visitors, and draw them to Machizukuri Council member establishments and stores, helping vitalize the Tokyo waterfront area.
Saturday, December 3 – Sunday, December 11 (9 days)
Cars 2 original stamps will be placed in Machizukuri Council member establishments and stores. Rally challengers will visit these 16 stamp locations, including Yurikamome and Rinkai line stations and various establishments, stamping their stamp rally cards. Challengers who stamp their stamp rally cards with 4 stamps will receive commemorative clear folders. Challengers will also be able to try for a second prize via a slot game, with the number of chances they are given depending on the number of stamps they have collected. Winners will be given original Cars 2 merchandise.
