Planes is based on a concept created by [[John Lasseter]]. Although Pixar didn't produce the film, Lasseter, being chief creative officer of both Pixar and Walt Disney Animation Studios, and director of Cars and [[Cars 2]], was also the executive producer of the film. The writers made a conscious effort to not remake ''Cars'' in a new setting, rejecting ideas that were too close to ideas in ''Cars''. The team also conducted research by interviewing several pilots of plane types that were included in the movie. | Planes is based on a concept created by [[John Lasseter]].

{{Quote 2|We had such a great time exploring the world of ''Cars'' over the course of two films, so it seemed only natural for us to see where our imaginations would take us in a film where planes were the main characters. By expanding the ''Cars'' world, ''Planes'' gave us a whole new set of fun-filled situations and a great opportunity to introduce some fantastic new characters. The team at DisneyToon Studios has done such an amazing job creating a heartfelt story filled with great comedy, adventure, and emotion. I know audiences are going to love taking off into the wild blue yonder with these daredevil characters, as they experience a whole new kind of animated adventure.}} | {{Quote 2|We had such a great time exploring the world of ''Cars'' over the course of two films, so it seemed only natural for us to see where our imaginations would take us in a film where planes were the main characters.

Disney subsequently pushed it back to Fall 2013, while it was confirmed it would have a theatrical release in Europe. However, completed sequences impressed Disney enough to instead plan the movie for a theatrical release on August 9, 2013, and it then was also screened at the D23 Expo, a biennial convention for Disney fans. It was released in the United Kingdom on August 16, 2013. The film had its premiere on August 2, 2013, at a special screening at the The Fly-In Theater at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh, an annual gathering of aviation enthusiasts in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Along with the special screening of the movie, Disney brought a real life Dusty to be part of the activities. The real life version of Dusty was an Air Tractor AT-400A piloted and owned by agriculture pilot Rusty Lindeman. | ||
