Disney is trying to capitalize on their world of anthropomorphic transportation with “Planes,” a Disney 3D-animated film. Even though Disney owns Pixar, there’s a slight distinction between Pixar’s “Cars” films and Disney’s “Planes,” even though “Planes” exists in the same world as “Cars.” If you’re astute enough, you’ll notice there’s a bit of a design difference between Disney’s 3D-animation department and Pixar’s.

But, semantics aside, is there really a market for “Planes,” especially with the comedian everyone loves to hate, Dane Cook, as the voice of the main character? I don’t really know. We’ll see, I guess.

Below is the poster for the film, showing the main character Dusty in action. Write what you think about the film in the comments section below.

“From above the world of ‘Cars’ comes ‘Disney’s Planes,’ an action-packed 3D animated comedy adventure featuring Dusty (voice of Dane Cook), a plane with dreams of competing as a high-flying air racer. But Dusty’s not exactly built for racing—and he happens to be afraid of heights. So he turns to a seasoned naval aviator who helps Dusty qualify to take on the defending champ of the race circuit. Dusty’s courage is put to the ultimate test as he aims to reach heights he never dreamed possible, giving a spellbound world the inspiration to soar. “Disney’s Planes” takes off in theaters on Aug. 9, 2013.
