Disney’s Planes, a cousin in look and feel of Pixar’s Cars but without the intricate character-driven storytelling and genuinely heartfelt underlying mood, is yet another formulaic underdog story involving a race (the similarly underwhelming Dreamworks’ film Turbo likewise mined this same territory this past summer). While the animation is very appealing and the younger members of the family will likely overlook its predictable story development and by-the-numbers characters, Planes seems more like a made-for-home video effort than a feature film (which, rumor has it, was its original conception).
