A couple summers ago, we took the kids to an alligator preserve. In the evening we decided to see Planes. The kids LOVED the movie. In fact, I had to buy it when it came out and it’s one that they have watched over and over with their cousins. As soon as we heard about Planes: Fire & Rescue, we knew we had to see it too!
About the Planes Fire & Rescue
Planes: Fire & Rescue is a new comedy-adventure about second chances, featuring a dynamic crew of elite firefighting aircraft devoted to protecting historic Piston Peak National Park from raging wildfire. When world-famous air racer Dusty (voice of Dane Cook) learns that his engine is damaged and he may never race again, he must shift gears and is launched into the world of aerial firefighting. Dusty joins forces with veteran fire-and-rescue helicopter Blade Ranger (voice of Ed Harris) and his courageous team, including spirited air tanker Dipper (voice of Julie Bowen), heavy-lift helicopter Windlifter (voice of Wes Studi), ex-military transport Cabbie (voice of Captain Dale Dye) and a lively bunch of brave all-terrain vehicles known as The Smokejumpers. Together, the fearless team battles a massive wildfire and Dusty learns what it takes to become a true hero.

My kids like the bonus features the most. This film didn’t disappoint in that department! Not only are there deleted scenes (my favorite), but there are animated shorts, a music video and so much more! The Blu-ray and DVD was released on November 4, 2014. This makes a great gift this holiday season!!
