Planes (2013)


Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures
Directed by Klay Hall
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb Wikipedia
(Blu-ray, Disney)

A crop duster plane dreams of becoming a racer and begins training for an around-the-world race. He proves everyone wrong by qualifying for the race. His training continues under the tutorage of a crusty old war veteran. The race begins in New York City and his competitors include the overconfident, flamboyant and arrogant previous champion; a chirpy, fun loving Mexican plane; and a sexy French-Canadian. He overcomes various obstacles over the course of the race, including a near-fatal crash into the ocean. He wins many loyal friends and fans along the way with his determination. Although in last place, he overcomes all to win at the last second in a photo finish. Predictable Disney adventure with too many stereotypes, although the computer animation is as sleek and shiny as its characters.
