After watching
the second Planes film
two days ago, my grandson Oliver insisted on watching the first. It introduces
us to the cute orange plane, Dusty Crophopper. He's a crop duster who believes
he can do more. He wants to become a racing plane. He's trained by the retired
navy war plane Skipper Riley. He qualifies for a race around the world,
competing against seasoned racing planes. Most of the other planes welcome the
newcomer, but the reigning champion, Ripslinger, mocks him and says that he
doesn't stand a chance. Dusty does badly in the first few legs of the race,
but he edges into the lead. Ripslinger resorts to dirty tricks to win the
race.
"Planes" is better than the second film. I still can't relate to the concept
of talking airplanes, but I felt sympathy with the underdog competing in a
race he can't hope to win.
Success Rate: + 2.8
