Get your engines ready…Disney Planes has officially soared onto DVD!
This past summer, I took Hayley and Zane to see Disney Planes on the big screen. It was the first movie for my two year old but I knew he would love it, since he is obsessed with Planes. He sat throughout the entire movie, not making one peep! Hayley also LOVED the movie, and we could not wait to make it part of our Disney DVD collection!
Film Synopsis:
The world of Cars takes flight in Planes, Disney’s high-flying animated comedy revved up with action and adventure. Join Dusty, a crop duster with sky-high dreams and a once-in-a-lifetime chance to take on the world’s fastest flyers in the greatest air race ever. Dusty has a huge heart but two big problems…he’s not exactly built for speed, plus he’s afraid of heights. His courage is put to the ultimate test as this unlikely hero aims higher than he ever imagined. With a little help from his friends, Dusty finds the courage to be more than he was built for—and the inspiration to soar.

*We received Planes from Disney for review. All opinions are my own and not swayed by outside sources.*
I can’t wait to see this. My daughter loves Cars, so I think she will love this one too!
We love this movie! In fact, I’m making a Bulldog birthday cake today for my son’s birthday tomorrow. 🙂
This looks like it is going to be a great movie, my husband and I cannot wait to see it .
Love PLANES! We watched it again last night.
This movie is already on the list of our all-time favorite Disney movies. My daughter watched it 4 times in one day while I was in L.A. for a Disney press trip, and we’ve watched it at least once per day since. Love the messaging and the adorable characters – “I swish my cape at you!”
