Planes is a 2013 American 3D computer-animated adventure sports comedy film produced by DisneyToon Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures.[9] It is a spin-off of Pixar's Cars franchise and the first film in the Planes trilogy.[10]

Like most of DisneyToon's films, it was initially set to be released as a direct-to-video film,[11] but was theatrically released on August 9, 2013 in the Disney Digital 3D and RealD 3D formats.[2][12] A sequel, titled Planes: Fire & Rescue, will follow in 2014.[13]

Plot

Dusty Crophopper, a small-town cropdusting plane, dreams of competing as a high-flying air racer, but he has two problems: he isn't built for racing and he, rather ironically, has a fear of heights. So he receives help from a seasoned aviator named Skipper Riley to take on the defending champ of the villainous racing circuit named Ripslinger. Dusty's courage is really put to the test when he aims to reach heights he never thought possible, giving the world inspiration to soar.

Voice cast

Tow Mater and other characters from the previous Cars movies are set to make cameo appearances in the film.[22]

Production

Planes is based on a concept created by John Lasseter.[23] Although Pixar did not produce the film, Lasseter, being chief creative officer of both Pixar and Walt Disney Animation Studios, and director of Cars and Cars 2,[3] was also the executive producer of the film.[17] Jon Cryer was initially announced as the voice of the main protagonist Dusty.[3] Cryer later dropped out of production and was replaced by Dane Cook.[14] A modified version of the teaser trailer for the film (featuring Cook's voice in place of Cryer's) was released on February 27, 2013.[24]

Release

Planes was originally set to be released in North America as a direct-to-video film in Fall 2013,[11] while having a theatrical release in Europe,[25] but completed sequences impressed Disney enough to instead plan the movie for a theatrical release.[2] This shift from video to theatrical release has happened before with Doug's 1st Movie (in 1999), Toy Story 2 (also in 1999), The Tigger Movie (in 2000), and Return to Never Land (in 2002). It will be the first DisneyToon Studios film released theatrically in North America since Pooh's Heffalump Movie eight and a half years earlier in 2005.

The film premiered on August 2, 2013, at a special screening at The Fly-In Theater at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh, an annual gathering of aviation enthusiasts in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.[1] It was theatrically released on August 9, 2013,[2] and when was also screened at the D23 Expo, a biennial convention for Disney fans.[26]

Reception

Critical response

Planes received generally negative reviews from critics, with a 26% rating on the film-critic aggregate site Rotten Tomatoes, based on 47 reviews. The site's consensus says, "Planes has enough bright colors, goofy voices, and slick animation to distract some young viewers for 92 minutes -- and probably sell plenty of toys in the bargain -- but on nearly every other level, it's a Disney disappointment."[27] Another review aggregator, Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 top reviews from mainstream critics, calculated a score of 36 based on 4 reviews.[28]

Alonso Duralde of The Wrap gave the film a positive review, saying "As shameless an attempt by Disney to sell more bedspreads to the under-10s as Planes is, it nonetheless manages to be a minor lark that will at least mildly amuse anyone who ever thrust their arms outward and pretended to soar over the landscape."[29] Justin Chang of Variety gave the film a negative review, saying "Planes" is so overrun with broad cultural stereotypes that it should come with free ethnic-sensitivity training for especially impressionable kids."[30] James Rocchi of MSN Movies gave the film one out of five stars, saying "Planes" borrows a world from "Cars," but even compared to that soulless exercise in well-merchandised animated automotive adventure, "Planes" is dead in its big, googly eyes and hollow inside."[31]
