(News Release)
TORONTO, Ont. — The Canadian International AutoShow is
always a family affair.
Besides the multitude of family vehicles found across the
show floors in the Metro Toronto Convention Centre, recent years have seen
special exhibits and presentations geared specifically towards families with
young children.
This year, the young ones can see some of their favourite
Disney and Pixar vehicles in person, along with one of the largest indoor
remote-controlled car demonstration test tracks and one of Canada’s leading toy
retailers.
“Families are a vitally important segment for the automotive
industry, and the AutoShow takes pride in creating a show that caters to car
enthusiasts of all ages,” says Jason Campbell, General Manager of the AutoShow.
“We have had great response to our family features in recent years, and this
year’s program will be sure to delight the little ones.”
Fans will have the opportunity to pose and take photos with
this groovy purple van that is spectacularly decked out with crescent moon
windows and a Pegasus mural, as well as take photos with life-size cut outs of
Ian and Barley. Additionally, a wizard will also be present on select
days to perform illusions inspired by the spells and magic performed in the film.
“Onward” opens in theatres across the country on March 5.
Walt Disney Studios Canada will also feature a life-size
replica of Lightning McQueen from Disney and Pixar’s Cars films, and a
life-size replica motorcycle of Canada’s greatest stuntman, Duke Caboom from
“Toy Story 4.” “Cars,” “Cars 2” and “Cars 3” are now streaming on Disney+,
and “Toy Story 4” will be joining the rest of the Toy Story films on the
streaming service soon.
In the middle of Castrol Alley, Big Boys with Cool
Toys, Canada‘s largest remote control hobby store, will be exhibiting some
of the coolest remote control products available in the industry. Not only will
they be showing them off, they will be taking these vehicles to the maximum
levels of jumping, backflips, front flips and much more.
See the excitement before your eyes with remote control
hobby vehicles jumping 20, 30 and 40 feet in the air doing multiple backflips —
jumps that you just didn’t think was ever possible! If you have ever been to a
car race / monster jam or a spectacular crash up derby, this is 10 times more
exciting.
Rounding out the family area will be a display and retail
space from Toys"R"Us
and Babies”R”Us Canada, Canada’s dedicated specialty retailer of toys and
baby products since 1984. Included will be a track where kids can test drive
battery-powered vehicles from the Toys”R”Us collection.
