Planes 3D
From the animated world of Pixar's Cars comes this high-flying Disney tale of a cropdusting plane named Dusty, who dreams of competing in a famous aerial race. There's only one problem: he's afraid of heights. Features the voice talents of Dane Cook, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Stacy Keach and John Cleese.
Originally to be released as direct-to-DVD, early scenes impressed the powers-that-be at Disney enough to step it up to a theatrical release. The film's executive producer and co-writer is John Lasseter, the Pixar sage behind Toy Story and Cars.

Reviews & comments
Planes Cars Trains?
Like 'Cars' but in the sky. I know, that's silly, yet when you watch it, you'll realise that's about the best descriction. Just as good as 'Cars' & other Pixar films, you know what your watching and they deliver it. Genre : Animated, adventure, comedy, family 3/5 : A bit too much like others, yet still good watching.
Variety
pressSo overrun with broad cultural stereotypes that it should come with free ethnic-sensitivity training for especially impressionable kids.
Total Film
pressThe lack of wit and humanity that makes exec producer John Lasseter's best work so special will leave grown-ups feeling frustratingly grounded.
Time Out
pressAn endearing enough David-and-Goliath tale, aimed squarely at younger kids.
The Dissolve
pressIt's a pleasant enough expression of a series of familiar story beats, but apart from a few brief action-sequence moments, it could hardly be more rote.
Hollywood Reporter
pressDespite the more aerodynamic setting, this Cars 3D offshoot emerges as an uninspired retread.
