      • Modestly improving upon its 2013 predecessor, Planes: Fire & Rescue is nevertheless a formulaic programmer offering the same old same old. That said, the movie at least offers a better lesson that the first Planes (or Cars for that matter) in that it's not about what it takes to become famous but rather what it takes to be a hero.

  1. Jul 18, 2014 · "Planes: Fire & Rescue" doesnt need a niblet-filled festival to come off as corny. But, in a way, its retro feel is a refreshing breather this summer. There is a rather elaborate parody of the old TV show "CHiPs"—called "CHoPs," named for the helicopters used to put out fires.

    Set not too long after the events of the preceding film, Planes: Fire & Rescue sees now-famous air racer Dusty Crophopper (voice of Dane Cook) abruptly learn that due to gearbox damage he may never race again. After a fiery accident imperils Propwash Junction, Dusty endeavors to find new meaning as an aerial firefighter.

    Venturing to Piston Peak National Park, Dusty comes under the tutelage of veteran rescue helicopter Blade Ranger (voice of Ed Harris) and his team, which includes super scooper Dipper (voice of Julie Bowen) and heavy-lift helicopter Windlifter (voice of Wes Studi). Ultimately, the team must save the park from a raging wildfire, a mission that will show Dusty what it means to be a true hero rather than a celebrity.

    Modestly improving upon its 2013 predecessor, Planes: Fire & Rescue is nevertheless a formulaic programmer offering the same old same old. That said, the movie at least offers a better lesson that the first Planes (or Cars for that matter) in that it's not about what it takes to become famous but rather what it takes to be a hero.

    This DisneyToons release -- yes, it's NOT a Pixar release even though it's a spinoff of Cars -- is a big old valentine to firefighters and the rescue personnel who fight fires in America's rural areas. Blade Ranger -- ably voiced by the ever-commanding Harris -- and his crew are an elite unit, not devoid of their quirks but literally well-oiled machines when in the field. The movie is dedicated to the firefighters and rescue personnel who battle America's wildfires, and the movie is certainly a heartfelt salute to their courage and dedication.

    A marked improvement over its predecessor, Planes: Fire and Rescue is a heartfelt albeit formulaic tribute to heroism.

  5. Jul 18, 2014 · Planes: Fire & Rescue is a good improvement over “Planes,” which Disney released last year. The story is stronger, there are some wonderful additions to the voice talent and the 3D cinematography is well-utilized.

  6. Planes: Fire and Rescue does have a lot of very good things, particularly the animation which is outstanding and even better than that of the original. The colours are richer, the backgrounds and landscapes more textured and the photorealistic animation in the fire fighting sequences is far better than any of the animation in the first.

  7. Jul 18, 2014 · Planes: Fire & Rescue is the 2014 sequel to the Disney movie Planes, a spinoff of the Cars movies. The film follows Dusty, a plane who becomes a firefighter and joins a team to protect a national park from a wildfire.
