If you enjoyed Disney’s Planes, the movie about Dusty Crophopper’s quest to become a successful air racer that hit theaters last summer, you’ll be able to see the sequel next week. Planes: Fire and Rescue opens on July 18, and with great action scenes and a cast of new endearing characters, the follow-on has all the ingredients to become another success story for Disney.
Planes: Fire and Rescue follows Dusty as he leaves Propwash Junction to learn how to fight fires as the plane-inhabited town finds the need for another certified firefighter. Arriving in Piston Peak Park, Dusty meets new friends, each with their own distinct personalities. Dusty’s new mentor, a veteran fire-and-rescue helicopter named Blade Ranger, and admirer, a super scooper called Dipper, make great additions. Another favorite is Windlifter, an Aircrane with a fabulous Native American persona. The actors behind the animated characters bring out their personalities; particularly notable are Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara, a long time Hollywood couple that bring life to a couple of motorhomes in the movie.
