Like most little kids, especially boys, my son is obsessed with cars, trains and planes! He loved Disney’s Cars (both the first and second) and with planes being a new obsession, we were dying to take him to see Disney’s Planes.
“Planes” is about a crop-dusting plane with a fear of heights that dreams of competing in the “Around the World” plane race. The catch is he is actually good! With the help of some old and new friends Dusty learns that being the good guy doesn’t always mean you finish last!
Was it as cute as the first Cars? No. Was it cute and better than Cars 2? Yes!!! My son (who is almost 2 ½ ) loved it! He was happy with all the bright colors, music and of course, planes!! There was just enough humor for me and my husband and even our friend and her 21 month old daughter enjoyed it!
For me it was exactly what I expected. Some humor for the little ones, some humor only the adults would probably catch and everyone learns a lesson at the end. My favorite character is actually El Chupacabra because he is too funny and always trying too hard to win the heart of the girl! (Don’t worry, Dusty helps him to be himself!)
It was very cute. I give it a solid 7.5 because my kid made it all the way through it. Not the best Disney film but certainly not the worst! And suitable for ALL ages!
