Walt Disney's "Cars" is poised to become the company's largest film licensing property with the upcoming release of the franchise's second installment. "Cars 2" debuts in U.S. theaters June 24. Merchandise began hitting stores globally in mid-May and is on track to beat retail sales from megahit "Toy Story 3," said Andy Mooney, head of Disney's consumer products division.
