With Planes: Fire & Rescue be released in theaters this weekend I thought it would be fitting to review its predecessor Planes. So without further ado...
Cars gets a high-flying spinoff with this Disney Toon Studios film about a humble crop duster who dreams of becoming a great air racer. Dusty (voiced by Dane Cook) spends most of his days flying low, but his eyes are always turned up toward the clouds. Sadly, Dusty's modest engine and intense fear of heights make a career in racing a long shot at best. Things begin to look up for Dusty, however, when a veteran aviator helps him qualify for a race against the reigning circuit champ. Now if Dusty can just learn to let go of his fears, his checkered-flag dreams may finally come true.
The film is pretty terrible. First off it comes from the world of Cars and Cars 2 and those really aren't Pixar's best film. It also doesn't bring anything new to the table. The film wa marketed like a Pixar film but it wasn't even made by Pixar. It was also originally planned to be released as a short and you can absolutely tell by the dull writing and uninteresting plot. Plus the voice acting in the film really isn't the greates in the world. The film packs some really good laughs but some aren't funny at all and do make much sense. Overall It has enough to keep little kids entertained but adults will get overly bored with the film. I give Planes a 1.5 out of 10.
So ladies and gentlemen what did you think of Planes, what would you rate it, are you excited for Planes: Fire & Rescue and what did you think of my review? Let me know in the comment section below and let your voice be heard.
