The Disney Cars movies were such a hit it’s only natural that they’ve produced another movie in the same vein — Planes (only $15 shipped right now on Amazon!). We took our kiddos to see this movie in the movie theater and they’ve been waiting for it to come out on DVD ever since so they can watch it again! I think they immediately felt a connection with the characters in the movie due to their familiarity with the Cars characters. Dusty is especially lovable.
Film Synopsis:
“The world of Cars takes flight in Planes, Disney’s high-flying animated comedy revved up with action and adventure. Join Dusty, a crop duster with sky-high dreams and a once-in-a-lifetime chance to take on the world’s fastest flyers in the greatest air race ever. Dusty has a huge heart but two big problems…he’s not exactly built for speed, plus he’s afraid of heights. His courage is put to the ultimate test as this unlikely hero aims higher than he ever imagined. With a little help from his friends, Dusty finds the courage to be more than he was built for—and the inspiration to soar.”
Of course, as a parent, I love the message behind the movie and the opportunity it gives parents to talk to their children about their dreams and their ability to achieve them.
