it flew in to theaters, now it can fly in to your home :: review {@disneypictures}

A little while back, our television was consumed with fabulous ads about an upcoming movie that was soaring to the movie theaters.  If you haven’t guessed it already by my descriptive words, I’m talking about the new Disney Planes movie!  On November 19, 2013, Planes was released and is now available for purchase!!

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.

Planes is a super fun movie that my girls have thoroughly enjoyed.  And yes, it’s NOT just for boys!!  Kids young and old will enjoy this.  It’s all about overcoming, defying the odds, making good choices and being a good person…following your heart to reach your goal!  What kid can’t use a little more of all of this in their life, right?  The characters are adorable and I love their voices.  If you love Cars, you will love this Planes movie too!

The fun doesn’t stop when the movie is over.  There are many Bonus Features included (Blu-ray & Select Digital Retailers.) too!

• Exclusive Franz’s Song (approx. 1:40)  …never-before-seen completely finished animated song features the German mini-car, Franz Fliegenhosen, who encourages Dusty on his flight.
• Klay’s Flight Plan (approx. 15:00)  Follow Director Klay Hall’s personal journey during the making of “Planes” and discover why his family connection to aviation made “Planes” his perfect project.  Fly along with Klay as he lands on a working aircraft carrier to get first-hand experience on the flight deck.
• Deleted Scenes (approx.. 3:46)
• Meet the Racers (approx.. 5:50)  Featurettes introducing racers El Chupacabra (1:15), Ripslinger (1:15), Dusty (:90), and Ishani (:90).

Before I go, one more thing.  Do you have a budding artist in your family? You have to show them this video, and they too can make their own version of Dusty! Below that are fun activities and such to check out too!
