Template:Upcoming Not to be confused with the Little Golden Book, the Big Golden Book, the soundtrack or the score. Template:Infobox FilmPlanes is a spin-off of Cars, and the first film in the Planes trilogy. Pixar Animation Studios however did not produce the film. Instead, it was produced by DisneyToon Studios. It was released theatrically on August 9, 2013.

Plot

Dusty Crophopper is a plane that dreams of being a legendary racer - but instead, he is crop dusting in the town of Propwash Junction. Every day, his best friend Chug helps him practice his flying. One day, after seeing a commercial for the Wings Around the Globe competition, Chug tells Dusty that he needs a flying coach in order to compete. So Dusty seeks help from the local flying instructor, Skipper, but he turns him down, saying that his hopes are much too high. Dusty still goes on to qualify for the competition, and does very well, much to the dislike of three planes standing by, watching him. In the first competition, Dusty meets many of his racing idols, including the British champion Bulldog, the Mexican star El Chupacabra, and the reigning champion, Ripslinger - who does not like Dusty. Ripslinger insults Dusty, telling him he is not built for racing, like most of the other competitors. During the first race, disaster strikes when Dusty gets caught in a storm, and plummets into the ocean. He is rescued by two fighter jets. During the next few races, Ripslinger and his sidekicks, Ned and Zed, continue to attempt to elimunate Dusty from the compeititon, but that doesn't work out when Dusty wins the final race.

Production

While Pixar didn't producing the film, John Lasseter will be one of the producers.

On August 20, 2011 at the D23 Expo it was announced that Jon Cryer would be the voice of the protagonist Dusty. However, Cryer dropped out of production and was replaced by Dane Cook. On February 27, 2013, the teaser trailer was re-released with dialogue from Cook instead of Cryer. A new promo video was released on May 16, 2013.

James Seymour Brett was originally set to write the film's score but was replaced by Mark Mancina.

DisneyToon is also working on a sequel, called Planes: Fire and Rescue. It has been confirmed by Carlos Alazraqui the Planes series will be a trilogy. Instead of publishing an Art of book for the first film, Chronicle Books will publish The Art of Planes 1 & 2 to coincide with the release of the sequel. The sequel was originally titled with the "2", but on June 13, 2013, it was removed from the title. It was also announced to have a 3D theatrical release on July 18, 2014.

Besides the Planes series, DisneyToon is considering to make more spin-offs that would feature other vehicles like boats and trains, and which may go into production if Planes is well received. John Lasseter said: "I kept thinking about—I’m a big train fanatic. I love trains. And I started thinking about trains, and boats and airplanes. And I kept wanting to have more and more of those type of characters. [...] It’s one of the ideas, that there will be an ongoing series. It almost starts getting into this thing where we fall in love with these plane characters, we want to see more and more stories with them. And then you start doing other vehicles and stuff like that. Yeah. So it kind of is a bigger idea that can keep expanding."

Release

The film was first announced to be released in direct-to-video on DVD and Blu-ray in the Spring of 2013. Disney subsequently pushed it back to Fall 2013, while it was confirmed it would have a theatrical release in Europe. It was finally set to be released theatrically on August 9, 2013, when it was screened at the D23 Expo, a biennial convention for Disney fans. It will be 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.

Rating

Planes is rated PG by the MPAA "for some mild action and rude humor", making it the first film in the Cars franchise to get this rating. However, in the United Kingdom, the film has received a U rating by the BBFC. It is also DisneyToon's second movie to get a PG rating, after Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch.

Unlike America, Planes had received a lighter rating in other countries. In the United Kingdom, the film has received a U rating by the BBFC. In Ireland, the film is rated G.

Trivia

  • The Cars Toons episode Air Mater introduced elements of Planes, including Propwash Junction, Skipper, and Sparky. Mater drops an allusion to Planes at the end of the short as he says that "They oughta make a whole movie about planes".
  • Planes takes on some of Pixar's traditions. Like both of the installments of the Cars franchise, it features reporters of the Racing Sports Network covering its sportive event. It also includes a cameo of John Ratzenberger, who has had a voicing role in all of Pixar films.
  • While the film is focusing on Planes, there are cars involved in the movie, and some can be seen in the stands of one of the races.
  • It's currently unknown whether or not if any aircraft from Cars will make a cameo appearance in this film.
  • This is the first DisneyToon film to be a sequel/spin-off to a Pixar film.
  • Planes was leaked online almost one month before its release.
  • On July 14, 2013, Disney Channel held a "Night of Flight" event, featuring sneak peeks at new characters from the movie, during it's "Night of Premieres" lineup, which included all new episodes of its programs.
  • To celebrate the release of the film in the United Kingdom, the 2013 Camp Bestival featured a world record attempt for the most paper aeroplanes flying at once.

Goofs

  • In one of the stories in the World of Cars book, the Statue of Liberty is a Ford Model T, but in this film, it's a forklift.
  • The designs of the world landmarks (such as the Taj Mahal - ताज महल, and the Great Wall of China - 万里长城) do not resemble how they do in the credits at the end of Cars 2, as in that film, they were car-ified, but here they're plane-ified.

Quotes

  • El Chupacabra: Don't let anything distract you... gasps at Rochelle. She is like a sunrise after a lifetime of darkness!
  • Dusty Crophopper: Or like fresh fertilizer on a field of dying grass...
  • El Chupacabra: This is not your thing, my friend.


  • Bulldog: I owe you my life.
  • Dusty Crophopper: Are you crying?
