Plot

Dusty Crophopper, a youngcrop dusterplane, works at a cornfield in Propwash Junction,Minnesota,and practicesaerobatic maneuversin his spare time. He dreams of becoming a racer but is scorned by his Boss, Leadbottom, and hisforklift/mechanic friend, Dottie. However, he is supported by his fuel truck friend, Chug; Dusty and Chug train for qualifiers for the upcoming Wings Around the Globe Rally. On the night before the qualifiers, Dusty asks an elderly navy war plane named Skipper Riley to teach him how to fly well, but Skipper declines. The next day, Dusty barely qualifies on alegal technicality.

Skipper decides to mentor Dusty, and discovers Dusty has afear of heights.With training complete, Dusty travels toNew York Cityfor the race. There, he befriends a Mexican racer named ElChupacabra,who falls in love with a French-Canadian racer named Rochelle but consistently fails to woo her. Three-time defending champion Ripslinger dismisses Dusty. Dusty falls in love with an Indian plane named Ishani, who becomes supportive of him. During the first leg of the race from New York toIceland,Dusty's refusal to fly high causes him to finish in last place.

During the second leg of the race to Germany, Dusty shows good sportsmanship by saving another racer,Bulldog,from crashing, winning Bulldog's respect but finishing last again. After the third leg of the race toAgrainIndia,Ishani invites Dusty to fly around theTaj Mahaland advises him to fly low through theHimalayasby following some railroad tracks. After flying through a tunnel, Dusty is in first place atUpper MustanginNepal,but he is upset to discover that Ishani set him up in exchange for a new propeller from Ripslinger's team, and he shuns her.

The fifth leg is overthe Hump(the mountains between northeast India and south China) toShanghai,where Dusty gets into first place again. He manages to help El Chupacabra win over Rochelle with a romantic song. In the sixth leg of the race across the Pacific, Ripslinger has his sidekicks Ned and Zed clip off Dusty's navigation antenna. Lost and low on fuel, Dusty comes across the USSDwight D. Flysenhower,the naval base of Skipper's squadron, the Jolly Wrenches, which allows him to land and refuel. On the carrier, Dusty discovers that contrary to Skipper's own descriptions, he only flew one mission during war. Before he can obtain answers, a thunderstorm strikes, and he is forced to depart by the carrier crew. However, he ends up crashing into the Pacific Ocean and is severely damaged.

Dusty is salvaged and transported toMexicowhere his concerned friends are also present. Skipper confesses his entire squadron perished when he was coaxed to lead an attack by one of his fighters on a recon mission; he never flew again after the navy salvaged him. Dusty considers dropping out of the race, but is encouraged to continue by many of his fellow competitors, who donate parts to repair the damage he sustained. Ishani also gives Dusty her new propeller, reconciling their friendship.

Racing back to New York, Ripslinger plots to finish off Dusty again but is thwarted by Skipper, who regains his courage to fly. Dusty conquers his acrophobia when he rides ajetstream.Nearing the finish line, Ripslinger slows for the cameras, which allows Dusty to pass him at the last second and win. Dusty is congratulated by his friends, and Skipper thanks him for giving him the confidence to fly again. Dusty and Skipper visit theFlysenhower,where the former is inducted as an honorary Jolly Wrench in recognition of his victory. The two are launched off and decide to race back to Propwash Junction.

Reception

Critical response

Thereview aggregatorwebsiteRotten Tomatoesreported a 25% approval rating with an average rating of 4.60/10 based on 123 reviews. The website's consensus reads, "Planeshas enough bright colors, goofy voices, and slick animation to distract some young viewers for 92 minutes -- and probably sell plenty of toys in the bargain -- but on nearly every other level, it's a Disney disappointment. "[32]Another review aggregator,Metacritic,which assigns anormalizedrating out of 100 top reviews from mainstream critics, calculated a score of 39 based on 32 reviews, indicating "generally unfavorable reviews".[33]However, the film earned an average grade of "A−" on an A+ to F scale from audiences polled byCinemaScoreduring the opening week.[34]

Peter Hartlaub of theSan Francisco Chroniclegave the film two and half stars out of four, saying, "Many will enter theaters thinking this is a Pixar film, with the raised expectations that accompany that mistake. But even cynical animation fans will see there's quality here. After a little turbulence,Planescomes in for a nice landing. "[35]Alonso Duralde ofThe Wrapgave the film a positive review, saying, "As shameless an attempt by Disney to sell more bedspreads to the under-10s asPlanesis, it nonetheless manages to be a minor lark that will at least mildly amuse anyone who ever thrust their arms outward and pretended to soar over the landscape. "[36]Justin Chang ofVarietygave the film a negative review, saying, "Planesis so overrun with broad cultural stereotypes that it should come with free ethnic-sensitivity training for especially impressionable kids. "[37]James Rocchi ofMSN Moviesgave the film one out of five stars, saying, "Planesborrows a world fromCars,but even compared to that soulless exercise in well-merchandised animated automotive adventure,Planesis dead in its big, googly eyes and hollow inside. "[38]Michael Rechtshaffen ofThe Hollywood Reportergave the film a negative review, saying, "Despite the more aerodynamic setting, thisCars3D offshoot emerges as an uninspired retread. "[39]Jordan Hoffman of theNew York Daily Newsgave the film one out of five stars, saying, "The jokes inPlanesare runway flat, and parents will likely reach for the air-sickness bag. "[40]

Bill Goodykoontz ofThe Arizona Republicgave the film two out of five stars, saying, "Planeswas originally scheduled to be released straight to video. Although the smallest children might like bits and pieces of it, there's nothing in the movie that suggests why Disney strayed from its original plan. "[41]David Hiltbrand ofThe Philadelphia Inquirergave the film one out of four stars, saying, "The animated film has all the hallmarks of a straight-to-DVD project — inferior plot, dull writing, cheap drawing — perhaps because it was intended for the bargain bin at Target, Walmart, and Costco."[42]Jen Chaney ofThe Washington Postgave the film one and a half stars out of four, saying, "This film is 100 percent devoid of surprises. It's the story of an underestimated underdog that's like every other kid-friendly, life-coachy story about an underestimated underdog."[43]Rafer Guzman ofNewsdaygave the film one and a half stars out of four, saying, "IfPlaneswere a reasonably priced download, you'd gladly use it to sedate your kids during a long car ride. As a theatrical, 3-D release, however,Planeswill sedate you, too. "[44]Neil Genzlinger ofThe New York Timesgave the film two out of five stars, saying,Planesis for the most part content to imitate rather than innovate, presumably hoping to reap a respectable fraction of the box office numbers ofCarsandCars 2,which together made hundreds of millions of dollars. "[45]

Bruce Demara of theToronto Stargave the film two and a half stars out of four, saying, "While the plotting is rather pedestrian, the humour mostly lame, what makesPlanesa stand-out experience — not surprisingly, based on Disney's vast and impressive history of animated classics — is the visuals. "[46]Claudia Puig ofUSA Todaygave the film two out of four stars, saying, "It's engaging enough, driving home the familiar message of following one's dreams and the less hackneyed theme of facing one's fears. But it feels far too familiar."[47]Betsy Sharkey of theLos Angeles Timesgave the film two and a half stars out of four, saying, "As withCars,the world ofPlanesfeels safe. A little too safe, perhaps. "[48]Richard Roeperof theChicago Sun-Timesgave the film a C, saying "Planesmoves along quickly at a running time of 92 minutes, occasionally taking flight with some pretty nifty flight sequences. The animation is first-rate, and the Corningware colors are soothing eye candy. "[49]

Tom Keogh ofThe Seattle Timesgave the film two and a half stars out of four, saying, "Though not officially a Pixar production, the newPlanes— released by the beloved animation studio’s parent company, Disney — has the look and feel of Pixar's 2006 hit,Cars,if not the latter's charm or strong story. "[50]Stephen Whitty of theNewark Star-Ledgergave the film two out of four stars, saying, "It's strictly by the numbers, from the believe-in-yourself moral to the purely predictable ending."[51]Owen GleibermanofEntertainment Weeklygave the film a B, saying, "WhatPlaneslacks in novelty, it makes up for with eye-popping aerial sequences and a high-flying comic spirit. "[52]A. A. Dowd ofThe A.V. Clubgave the film a D+, saying, "Planescuts corners at every turn, a strategy that leaves it feeling like the skeletal framework of an incomplete Pixar project. "[53]R. Kurt Osenlund ofSlant Magazinegave the film one out of four stars, saying, "The film feels second-rate in every sense, from the quality of its animation to its C-list voice cast."[54]Dave Calhoun ofTime Outgave the film three out of five stars, saying "Planesisn’t a Pixar film, even if it’s related to one (Disney bought Pixar in 2006), and there’s nothing groundbreaking about the animation or script. That said, the characters and story still offer low-key charms. "[55]
