Disney's PLANES Character Posters and Voice Cast
Disney has announced the full voice cast for their upcoming Cars spin-off film Planes and released a bunch of character posters. I wasn't the biggest fan of Cars, it's my least favorite Pixar franchise, but Planes looks like it could be a solidly fun movie.
Dane Cook is set to play the lead character Dusty. What happened to Cook? I remember he used to be on top of the world, everybody loved him... where'd he go? I guess he was just a fad. Then we have Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Teri Hatcher, and John Cleese filling in some voices as well. One of the coolest casting announcements is the addition of Val Kilmer and Anthony Edwards making Planes kind of a little Top Gun reunion. The movie also stars Brad Garrett, Stacy Keach, Colin Cowherd, Cedric the Entertainer, Gabriel Iglesias, Carlos Alazraqui, Priyanka Chopra, and Sinbad.
Make sure to check out the character photos, and here's the synopsis:
From high above the world of “Cars,” flies “Planes,” Disney’s upcoming animated action-packed comedic adventure starring Dusty, a big-hearted, fast-flying crop duster who dreams of competing in the most exhilarating around-the-world air race in history. There’s only a couple of not-so-small problems – Dusty is not exactly built for racing and he also happens to be afraid of heights.
Despite his fear and with encouragement from his mentor, a naval aviator named Skipper, Dusty narrowly qualifies for the big competition. Dusty’s sportsmanship and speed begin to rattle the defending champ of the race circuit, Ripslinger, who will stop at nothing to see Dusty fail.
When disaster strikes during the climax of the final race, Dusty’s courage is put to the ultimate test. With the support of friends old and new, Dusty reaches heights he never dreamed possible and in the process, gives a spellbound world the inspiration to soar.
The movie will be released on August 9th, 2013.
