Disney's CG Animated PLANES Teaser Trailer
Disney has released a cool new teaser trailer for their upcoming Cars spin-off film Planes. The movie is set to go direct to DVD and blu-ray so there will be no theatrical release, which is what I thought Cars 2 should have been as well. The movie was produced by Disney Toon Studios, and it doesn't look like Pixar is involved with it which is a shame. I've got kids, so I'm sure I'll end up watching this thing. It doesn't look too bad for a direct to DVD release. Maybe it's because I think jets are just a tad bit more awesome than cars. Watch the trailer and tell us what you think.
Here's the Synopsis:
PLANES takes off with an international cast of the fastest air racers around, in a comedy packed with action and adventure starring Dusty, a small town dreamer who longs to enter the most epic around-the-world air race … despite his fear of heights. With the help and support of a fleet of new and hilarious characters, Dusty wings his way into the biggest challenge of his life.
From the official press release:
PLANES will introduce an entirely original and hilarious crew of daredevils from every corner of the globe and draws inspiration from the immensely popular Disney/Pixar’s CARS world.
“We had such a great time exploring the world of ‘Cars’ over the course of two films, so it seemed only natural for us to see where our imaginations would take us in a film where planes were the main characters. By expanding the Cars world, ‘Planes’ gave us a whole new set of fun-filled situations and a great opportunity to introduce some fantastic new characters,” commented John Lasseter, Chief Creative Officer, Walt Disney and Pixar Animation Studios.
“The team at DisneyToon Studios has done such an amazing job creating a heartfelt story filled with great comedy, adventure, and emotion. I know audiences are going to love taking off into the wild blue yonder with these daredevil characters, as they experience a whole new kind of animated adventure.”
Planes will arrive on Blu-ray and DVD in Spring 2013.
