Disney has released a sneak peek of its upcoming movie “Planes,” a 3D animated comedy adventure featuring a plane named Dusty who has dreams of competing as a high-flying air racer. However, Dusty is not built for racing and is also afraid of heights – forcing him to turn to a seasoned naval aviator for help in qualifying to take on the defending champ of the race circuit.
Planes is actually a spin-off of the 2006 animated film Cars (and the 2011 animated sequel Cars 2) plus its intended to be the first film in a trilogy; but while Pixar Animation Studios was the production team for Cars, Planes will be produced by DisneyToon Studios.
DisneyMovieTrailers already has this sneak peek of Planes posted on YouTube:
However and judging by the comments posted on YouTube, those who watched the trailer are, well, less than thrilled by what they saw – to put it politely (I guess everyone is a critic!)
Disney’s “Planes” is set to take off in US theaters in August. So I guess we will have to wait until then to see if Planes will soar or quickly crash back to earth at the box office with a thud!
