Dusty is a small-town plane who dreams of one day competing as a high-flying air racer. However, poor Dusty has two strikes against him: He's not built for racing, and he's terribly afraid of heights. To achieve his dream, Dusty turns to naval aviator Skipper. Skipper helps Dusty qualify to take on Ripslinger, the race circuit's defending champion. Dusty's courage faces the ultimate test, as he takes aim at heights he never dreamed were possible.

Critics Consensus

Planes has enough bright colors, goofy voices, and slick animation to distract some young viewers for 92 minutes -- and probably sell plenty of toys in the bargain -- but on nearly every other level, it's a Disney disappointment.

Essentially, it's Cars retold with planes. Small, undiscerning kiddies will probably love it and demand the DVD on repeat; adults will be nosediving into their popcorn with boredom.

In the skies, as on tarmac, this remains the world's most fossil-fuel-friendly franchise.

For "international", read "packed with wince-worthy ethnic stereotyping" - it's the only way the writers know how to define character in a universe this soulless.

It’s all about Cook and Keach, whose relationship and characters are the main focus here.

Planes is sweet. It’s also insubstantial and feels incomplete; a film I think I might have liked better if I’d never seen Pixar’s Cars.

2.0/4.0

One film that should find itself grounded from the box-office airways rather quickly.

A shameless, lazy, and soulless clone of the *Cars* franchise. While this movie might appeal to young children thanks to its colorful visuals, for everyone else, it is a painfully predictable experience with weak animation—and is completely dispensable.
