hours of family fun for all ages. Replacing our worn out copies

Films that concentrate on aviation & airplanes are rare, so it is a joy to see one that gets all the background material correct. In "Planes" the aircraft fly and manuever just as real planes would. And many of the characters are clearly patterned after real, historic aircraft. El Cupacabra is clearly a Granville Brothers Type R racer, and Franz, the flying auto, looks like the Aerocar designed and built by Moulton B. Taylor. The idea of a cropduster becoming an air racer is a classic "underdog succeeds against the odds" plot, but many great films have been made with the same storyline. I particularly enjoyed the way Dusty wins the race; it is straight out of the 1937 Thompson Trophy Race when the Folkerts SK-3 passed the Marcoux-Bromberg Special in the last fifty yards of the last lap for the closest finish in American air racing history. Anybody who enjoyed "Porco Rosso" or "Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines" should love "Planes." It is a fun story and a great aviation film as well.

I'm 71 and a kid at heart. I grew up on Navy bases all over the western hemisphere - California, Washington, Tennessee, Hawaii and Guam. My dad was a Navy AD1 (under the cowling aviation mechanic). I have seen him work on almost all the WWII thru Viet Nam aircraft. I have flown on a B25 Mitchell with Collins Foundation like the one that the Hall sons rode in the bonus feature. I have built models of both the Mitchell and the P-51 Mustang. I have a part time job with the local Grand Prairie Airhogs baseball team. The P51 and the F4U (skipper) were both built in Grand Prairie (Vaught Aircraft and American). The Airhogs have a 1/2 scale flyable F4U on display. I saw the Navy Blue Angels overfly Guam in 1954 in their F9F Panthers. Everything mentioned above were either featured in the movie or the bonus feature which makes the film very personal to this 71 year old.

Dusty is a plane with dreams of competing as a high-flying air racer. But Dusty’s not exactly built for racing -- and he happens to be afraid of heights. So he turns to a seasoned naval aviator who helps Dusty qualify to take on the defending champ of the race circuit. Dusty’s courage is put to the ultimate test as he aims to reach heights he never dreamed possible, giving a spellbound world the inspiration to soar.

Being Disney, it had excellent graphics, funny sight gags and naughty references that flew (literally at times) over the heads of the kiddies (vasectomies figure big here). If you are an adult who loves airplanes, there are cartoon versions of some real beauties especially the Gee Bee Super Sportster, a barrel-shaped monster from the 1930's, and the stolid F4U Corsair, modeled after WWII ace Ira Kepford's bird.

Since buying this, it has remained a regular in our rotation. Great story and great performances by the voice actors. I still laugh at parts even after my fifteenth viewing with my 2 year old. Not sure why the film was reviewed so poorly but it goes to show that sometimes you just need to see something yourself to form your own opinion. .02

This is a great movie for kids! And also a great movie for adults who appreciate the graphic design that goes into making these movies. Very entertaining.

This is a great film about going outside the box. All our lives we are told to go and be more than we are, but our educators limit us with what they teach. This movie is about breaking free from what you have been taught and becoming so much more. With the help of his friends, Dusty Crophopper becomes a great leader and racer.

Another great movie from Disney!! This movie is family friendly & for all ages!! If you love Cars, Cars 2, & Mater Tales you'll love Planes!! The story of how an underdog no matter how badly the chips are stacked against them can win with heart, pride, confidence & honor!! Highly recommend you add this to your movie collection!!

My grandson loves all the cars movies and all the planes movies. Purchasing this was a MUST! He loves this series and i think your kids would too.

At first I really didn't know what to expect from this movie, but bought it anyway for my nephew and we all fell for the lovable characters. Love the idea of how being a simple "crop duster" doesn't define how one see themselves. Great message of encouragement, hard work and how dreaming the impossible can pay off.

I personally love Cars, and so does my two year old son. We got this for him as a Christmas gift. The price was right and it came with the digital copy. Since you can now sync your Disney Digital movies across multiple accounts (Google Play, iTunes, Disney, Amazon...) it was an easy choice.

My son really enjoyed this movie and that is primarily who this is designed for. The animation is tops and the talent that goes into making these films is amazing. It was fun to watch and I know my son had a great time. He is a big fan of the "Cars" movies so it was very easy for him to get into this as well.

Needed a wifi connection since I wanted to move my PC away from my router and did not want to run any Cat 5 cable. This item was on sale at a terrific price, ordered it, picked it up at the store, moved the PC, plugged it into a USB port and in almost no time I was up and running.

My son is a huge fan of the Cars series and I came across this movie. It is a great compliment to the Cars movies and we have this movie and the second one. The characters and story line is great and child friendly.

We enjoy short 3 or 4 day vacations with our 3 year old grandson, Blaise. Movies like this are perfect for transitioning from active daytime to bedtime. Grandma and Grandpa are blessed to have such a fine boy in our lives.

This movie has quickly become a family favorite for movie night! Everyone loves getting the 3D glasses on and gearing up for this awesome Disney movie. The characters were done right and the plot leaves you wanting more of it! I'm sure the sequel will be added to our collection.

I orginally purchased this Bluray for my grand children. But I have to admit I truely enjoyed the film. I've watched it more than once and everytime I've seen it I notices something different in the back ground and something I missed while laughing at the extremely funny parts.

I have always loved the animated movies and cartoons, Planes is another hit. It's nice to have something the whole family can enjoy together. The young ones never tire of watching again and again. Well worth the money. Our family has a nice collection going.

Since my kids were little I’ve always bought at least one movie so we can watch it on Christmas Day. What a great choice for all ages!
