Planes Forum

EDIT: Here is a picture, and you can follow this link to get the trailer.

This story is from Collider.

I can't put pictures in right now, sorry.

Disney Toon Studios is famous for making direct-to-DVD sequels to popular Disney animated movies. They did The Lion King 1 1/2 and a bunch of Tinkerbell movies (one of which actually got a release in the El Capitan Theatre in LA). Disney Toon Studios's recently released a trailer for Planes, a spin-off of the Cars universe. Pixar, which made Cars and its sequel Cars 2, is not involved, but Disney Toon Studios is run by John Lasseter, who created the Cars universe (Pixar is owned by Disney as well).

Now, rumor has it that John Lasseter is so fond of the new short he wants to give it a theatrical release. At a Film & Comic Convention, some poster art for Planes appeared advertising a 2013 release date. It wasn't specified whether this was going to be theatrical, but it was visible next to posters for big budget Disney pics like Oz: The Great & Powerful, Monsters University, and Iron Man 3.

They're definitely looking for people to bilk money out of....

I thought that Lasseter stopped all the straight to DVD movies Disney was making.

Had no idea Lasseter ran that part of the company but anyway not excited for it I liked the first Cars a lot but am in no rush to see Cars 2 and especially Planes

he did, but then he changed his mind and brought it back. I think he has more creative control this time around, though.

@TheFaithfullyDeparted: I'm with you on that. I enjoyed the first one, but I'm not really looking for anything else in the universe. But planes are pretty badass, so who knows.
