DisneyToon Studios announces PLANES – a full-length CG animated comedy animation coming to Blu-ray and DVD in Spring 2013 — the story of Dusty, a small town dreamer who longs to enter the most epic around-the-world air race…despite his fear of heights.
“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.”
Inspired by the CARS world, Planes will introduce an entirely new cast of daredevils from every corner of the globe.
