If you thought âCarsâ was brilliant, then youâll be sure to love their latest animated adventure, âPlanesâ which comes out on DVD/Blu-ray November 19. Itâs an action-packed comedy about a small plane with big dreams. The only problem is that the plane, Dusty is a crop-duster whoâs afraid of heights! As you can imagine, this makes it very difficult for him to achieve his dreams. With the help of his best friends Dusty’s future turns a bit brighter. KIDS FIRST! Film Critic Brianna Hope B says, “It is a great film. It has hope, adventure and good humor.” Her full review is below.

This film is too cute, funny and has great animation.
Dusty, (Dane Cook-Voice) is a basic crop-dusting plane with big dreams of competing in an aerial race. However he is afraid of heights, yes thatâs right, heights! In order for him to even get up the nerve to compete and pursue his dreams; he needs the help of his mentor, Skipper, (Stacy Keach-Voice) and his friends.
âPlanesâ has a good story line and I really like it. It has hope, adventure and good humor with comedians Brad Garrett (Chug-Voice), Sinbad (Roper-Voice) and many more. All the voice actors do a great job portraying their characters. Of course, the 3D animation is spectacular with great detail and lots of lively colors. My favorite scene is when Skipper starts training Dusty and Chug and Dottie (Terri Hatcher-Voice) are talking too loud for Dusty to concentrate. Skipper yells at them to be quiet and they straighten up immediately, but keep talking. This is really funny. My favorite character is Roper, because he says and does the funniest things. He always seems to be rambling about something and is funny.
Writer, Jeffrey M. Howard, writes a comedic script that gives kids something to enjoy and feel good about. Another well known comedian voice cast who I enjoyed in this film is Cedric the Entertainer (Leadbottom-Voice).
As Walt Disney once said, âAll our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.â I really like this and believe this message is demonstrated throughout the film.
I recommend this film for ages 7 to 13. Kids who love Disney animation films will love this one as it is similar to other Disney films. Itâs also a great film for the family to see although older teens may not be too interested in it.
I give âPlanesâ 4 out of 5 stars because I would like to see more originality and uniqueness, but overall it is a great film and I really enjoy watching it. I know you will too. Reviewed by Brianna Hope B., KIDS FIRST! Film Critic
