Recently took my son to see "Planes" (Mommy was invited too) at our local Movie Tavern. As a major "Cars" and "Cars 2" fan, this was a natural choice for my son to see on the big screen. And as an almost 3 year old (only days away from a birthday) he sat nicely and watched the entire film politely. But this post is not about him, it's about the movie.
It's a worthy spin off. I'll admit that I was hesitant when I heard that Dane Cook was going to be the lead voice, but he did a good job. This is an excellent voice cast with the likes of Stacy Keach, Brad Garrett, Teri Hatcher, John Cleese and even Anthony Edwards and Val Kilmer (in what I would say are great animated "cameos"). And for those that are Pixar enthusiasts, John Ratzenberger does have his part, but you'll have to find out for yourself who he is.
If you like the Cars movies, then most likely you'll like this one, but I won't be the critic that judges it for you. It's a good animated feature film that will find it's way onto my shelf at some point. There are funny lines and funny moments. There are both interesting and uninteresting characters. But one thing is for sure, kids will enjoy this movie and so will many adults too (ok that's really two things).
Sure the Cars movies drive me nuts when my son wants to watch them on a daily basis, over and over again, but in general they are good movies that are fun to watch. I myself look forward to many more sequels, spin-offs and shorts made in the world of Cars & Planes.
Have you seen it, going to see it, or have no interest what so ever in seeing it? Leave a comment and let me know.
Saw this for a second time yesterday (had a coupon so why not) and it was just as enjoyable on the second viewing. I still say if you haven't seen it, go and enjoy.
