Planes (2013)
Country: US
Technical: col 91m
Director: Klay Hall
Cast: Voice cast: Dane Cook, Stacy Keach, Brad Garrett, Teri Hatcher
Synopsis:
A cropduster plane dreams of taking part in a round-the-world race, and finds an old fighter from the war in the Pacific to mentor him.
Review:
Wanting to do more than what you were made for', is the spurious moral of this Disney animation, suggesting as it does that we can all be winners. It is an extension of the Cars universe and, as such, suffers from the drawbacks of the limited identification to be found with characters who are machines, and inconsistencies abound (a New York of skyscrapers - inhabited by whom, one wonders? - and a flock of birds that turn out to be paper gliders). All very pretty, to be sure, but of limited delight for adult audiences, and with scant laughs to be found for children.
