Planes

Product Information

The soundtrack's modest highlight and perhaps the film's closest brush with creativity is a slowed-down, mariachi version of The Miracles' 1970s disco classic "Love Machine", performed by the film's prominent offering to Mexico, the lucha-masked and caped El Chupacabra (Carlos Alazraqui).

The tagline "From Above the World of Cars" suggests that Planes is Pixar Animation Studios' second film of 2013 and adds to their newfound appreciation for franchises. For instance, Alvin and the Chipmunks contributors Chris Classic and Alana D provide their answer to Jay-Z and Alicia Keys' "Empire State of Mind" in a cringeworthy rap accompanying a New York City fly-over (complete with a vehicular Statue of Liberty).Pretty much the same story but everything including the characters come across as rather one dimensional, such a shame as it really could've been something as special.

However, he will have to face a tough opponent in defending champion Ripslinger (Roger Craig Smith), who will do anything to make sure Dusty doesn't win. Howard's screenplay relies heavily on familiar cliché after familiar cliché and, sorry to say, the voice cast isn't all that special. From the maligned Cars 2 comes the international hotspots, a colorful cast of multinational racers (each one showcasing a bigger stereotype than the last), the thrills and chills of a worldwide race mixed with.Sportscaster Brent Musburger reprises his Cars alter ego Brent Mustangburger and John Ratzenberger makes his obligatory cameo, either not knowing or caring that this isn't in the Pixar canon. The story still only skims the surface, but the heart it proudly wears on its wings suddenly begins to shine that much brighter. Despite Hall and Howard's best efforts -- and the two do make a concerted effort -- there's not a lot to Planes that isn't derived from the series' core films. No one else has come close to contributing as much gold to the world of cinema over the past twenty years.

In recent years, Disney has submitted the Tinker Bell movies (which they've given exclusive El Capitan engagements) for that very reason.And if that has you rolling your eyes, brace yourself for director Klay Hall's Planes, a well-intentioned family-friendly racer sure to entertain younger kids, and just the kids.
