Cars with wings!
n In Hollywood today, the closest thing to a sure bet is
Pixar. So it’s not surprising that Pixar’s parent studio, Disney,
would bet on Pixar again and again, this time with
a Cars spin-off, the plainly named Planes. A lowly crop
duster named Dusty (Dane Cook) has dreams of competing
in an around-the-world aerial race. Unfortunately,
Dusty isn’t designed for speed, and worse, he’s afraid
of heights. With the support of a World War II fighter
named Skipper (Stacy Keach), Dusty qualifies—just
barely—to enter the race. But the reigning champion of
the race, Ripslinger, won’t give up his title easily. Though
it’s a Disney production, the film has an ace in the hole
with Pixar veteran John Lasseter, director of the first two
Cars films, the first two Toy Story films, and A Bug’s Life,
in the producer’s seat. And it’s clearly got studio support:
Disney announced two sequels for Planes months before
the first film would be released. Since the long-rumored
Cars 3 is yet to be confirmed, perhaps Planes will finally
answer the burning question at the heart of the Cars
universe: how and why automobiles (and planes) exist in
a driver-less, inventor-less world.
