Planes is an upcoming sports comedy spin-off of Pixar's animated Cars franchise and the first film in the Planes trilogy.[6] Pixar Animation Studios, the production team for the Cars movies, will not be producing the film. Instead, it will be produced by DisneyToon Studios.[7] It was initially set to be released as a direct-to-video film,[8] but will now be theatrically released by Walt Disney Pictures on August 9, 2013 in the Disney Digital 3D and RealD 3D formats.[2][9]

Plot

A plane named Dusty dreams of competing as a high-flying air racer, but he has two problems: he isn't built for racing and he's afraid of heights. So he receives help from a seasoned aviator named Skipper Riley to take on the defending champ of the racing circuit named Ripslinger. Dusty's courage is really put to the test when he aims to reach heights he never thought possible, giving the world inspiration to soar.

Voice cast

Production

Despite the fact that Pixar isn't producing the film, John Lasseter, being chief creative officer of both Pixar and Walt Disney Animation Studios, and director of Cars and Cars 2, will be one of the producers.[3]

On August 20, 2011 at the D23 Expo it was announced that Jon Cryer would be the voice of the main protagonist Dusty.[3] Cryer later dropped out of production and was replaced by Dane Cook.[10] A modified version of the teaser trailer for the film (featuring Cook's voice in place of Cryer's) was released on February 27, 2013.[20]

Release

Planes was originally set to be released in North America as a direct-to-video in Fall 2013,[8] while having a theatrical release in Europe,[21] but completed sequences impressed Disney enough to instead plan the movie for a theatrical release.[2] This shift from video to theatrical release has happened before with Doug's First Movie (in 1999), Toy Story 2 (in 1999) and The Tigger Movie (in 2000). It will be the first DisneyToon Studios film released theatrically in North America since Pooh's Heffalump Movie eight and a half years earlier in 2005.

The film will premiere on August 2, 2013, at a special screening at the The Fly-In Theater at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh, an annual gathering of aviation enthusiasts in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.[1]

Video game

Disney Interactive will release Disney's Planes, a video game based on the film, on August 6, 2013. It will be released on Nintendo Wii U, Nintendo Wii, Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo DS.[22]

Sequel

A sequel, titled Planes 2: Fire and Rescue, is also in development.[23] Rather than publish an Art of book for Planes, Chronicle Books will publish The Art of Planes 1 & 2 to coincide with the release of the sequel.[24]
