Planes

SCORE: 87

Do you know what continues to impress me about Disney? They consistently churn out good movies for families. Take Planes for example. It may not be the perfect movie for families. But it ranks really high for products released this year. Plus it brings us back to the world of Cars.

As the millions upon millions of Family Friendly Gaming Nation readers know - Cars is huge. Cars is one of the mega-franchises. The movies, games, toys, and more continue to be a major part of our lives. Which means Planes has some mighty big wheels to roll into.

Planes is a fun, entertaining, and exciting movie to watch. Dusty is the unlikely hero who has heart. He puts others in front of himself. He helps others instead of leaving them to crash. He does the right thing, and tries his hardest. He works diligently to succeed. He is everything we strive to be, and teach our children to be like.

Throughout the movie Dusty is mocked by other characters. He wins most of them over with kindness and caring. He proves that even though he is a crop duster he can achieve great things. He needs a little help from his friends, and strong determination - which are also great lessons for families.

Family Friendly Gaming was provided the Blu-ray + DVD + Digital Copy of Planes. Which means this movie can be enjoyed in a variety of venues. There are also some neat bonus extras on these discs. Deleted scenes, Klay's Flight Plan, Top Ten Flyers and more. My personal favorite is Franz's Song.

Planes is a fun racing movie with a very predictable plot. Which is okay because of how many feel good moments there are. I loved seeing how Dusty impacted those around him. The most special moment in Planes is when his friends provide for him in his time of need.

Dusty avoids getting revenge on those who wronged him in Planes. This is a wonderful lesson that not everyone may notice right away. He competes to the best of his ability within the rules. He does not cheat like some other planes. This movie shows that even though you may get knocked down by cheaters you can pick yourself up again and give your best effort. There is also a mild moment where the religious belief of reincarnation is taught.
