The trailers for this film made me a skeptic but, I watched Planes for the first time from a Redbox rental last night while my kids were in bed and while I was recovering from my root canal, done earlier in the day. I had so-so likings for Disney's Planes. I did not like how Dusty was too similar to the Owen Wilson voiced Lightning McQueen character and I did not like how Skipper was too similar to the Paul Newman voiced Doc Hudson character. Today my 12-year-old son watched Planes with his 9-year-old sister. The enthusiasm barometer from my kids was way up, while watching Planes, compared to their first viewings of Cars and Cars 2. I guess all those times I took my kids to the National Museum of the United States Air Force, at Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, cultivated their aviation enthusiasm and they were ripe for watching Disney's Planes, today. My son got teary-eyed when Skipper recounted his painful battle experience in War 2. My son also got teary-eyed when the other racing plains started donating replacement parts to Dusty. Watching the movie with two kids that were loving it made me enjoy it more. Then, the DVD's Special Features won my heart over with a section about the great vintage war birds, including the P-51D Mustang. So, today, I ordered Disney's Planes (Blu-ray/DVD, 2013, 2-Disc Set, Including Digital Copy) on Ebay. This film and special features cultivates my existing love for aviation. I would have liked to see more expensive high-powered actors doing the principal roles in this movie but I respect Disney/Pixar's choice to cut production costs since aviation movies don't do all that great at the box office. Planes was not a block buster but, it did produce a respectable profit to cost ratio. It's worth seeing for the first time. I suggest renting it before deciding to buy it.Read full review
