My kids have been simply begging to see this movie ever since I received the first press clip in my inbox. They adored Cars, so naturally. they were incredibly enthusiastic about following Dusty and his friends in their adventures. Okay, I admit it....I was pretty stoked, too! 

Recently, we received a copy of the movie on Blu-Ray to check out for ourselves, finally. When "PLANES" arrived in our mailbox, my little ones starting clapping and jumping up and down. By this I mean my teenager as well as my preschoolers. My entire family was excited, to be honest!

We absolutely loved this film. I do not want to give any spoilers here, but I will say that Dusty, El Chupacabra, Rochelle, and all of their other aircraft pals have one amazing adventure. I love how positive values like friendship and conquering fears  are emphasized through out this feel-good story. My kids were more impressed by the high-flying action and humor in the movie. 

Overall, this movie is gets an enthusiastic 10 thumbs up from our family of 5! So be sure to pick up your own copy on November 19th! This film would make a perfect Holiday gift this season!
