So of course Dusty, voiced by comedian Dane Cook, with the help of Skipper (Stacey Keach) has to beat his inner fear-of-heights demons – assuming characters in a kids movie are even allowed to have such things nah, probably not … let’s just say he has fears to overcome shall we kiddies? – if he is going to soar like he is, of course, destined to do. Will Dusty conquer his fears and take to the sky like a natural? You bet he will (image via ) Kinda bites when you’re a plane and you want to compete in an prestigious air race. Taking place in the same universe occupied by Cars, but produced by film studio sibling DisneyToon Studios rather than Pixar itself (whose last release as 2005’s Pooh’s Heffalump Movie), Planes tells the endearing story of Dusty Crophopper, a crop dusting plane with a debilitating fear of heights. Or in this case, up into the clouds and beyond (no, not that franchise). One more to the franchise dear anthropomorphic mechanical beings, once more!Īfter the amazing success of Pixar’s commercially, if not critically, successful Cars series, Disney have decided to, ahem, drive the brand just that little bit further. With the support of his mentor Skipper (Stacey Keach) and a host of new friends, Dusty sets off to make his dreams come true. The problem? He is hopelessly afraid of heights. Pibb.Dusty (Dane Cook) is a cropdusting plane who dreams of competing in a famous aerial race.
There is also some blatant consumerism, M&M's featured prominently, a scene centered on the characters' spaceship going through Wendy's drive-through, and a robot named "Mr. Outtakes during the end credits show the cast singing "We like to poop in our pants." Also, the parents in this movie are conspicuously missing, and the superheroes form their own "family." There's some mild profanity and comic-book style violence (kicking, punching, throwing, shattering glass). In one scene, the kids trap a scientist in an environmental simulator and subject him to falling rocks, a cyclone, and a rainstorm, then laugh at him.
There's also lots of crude behavior involving farting, burping, and a huge snot-bubble that bursts and covers everyone with green goo. Before warming up to the kids, Jack is downright mean, calling them names and treating them badly. There's a ton of disrespectful behavior from both the adults and kids in this movie.
Parents need to know that Zoom: Academy for Superheroes is a 2006 movie in which Tim Allen plays a washed-up former superhero who is brought back by the government to train a ragtag group of kids and teens with superpowers.
