What Planes lacks in novelty, it makes up for with eye-popping aerial sequences and a high-flying comic spirit. Read full review

Time Out London - Dave Calhoun

Aug 13, 2013

There’s nothing groundbreaking about the animation or script. That said, the characters and story still offer low-key charms. Read full review

Planes modestly succeeds. Very modestly. Read full review

New York Magazine (Vulture) - Bilge Ebiri

On just about every other level other than visuals, Planes is dry, dry, dry. There's no verbal wit, no standout vocal performances. Read full review

A Pixney misfire. Read full review

Planes looks, sounds and feels like a direct-to-video project, which in an earlier age when people still bought DVDs it would have been. In theaters, it’s nothing more than a laughless 90 minute commercial for toys available at a retailer near you. Read full review

Village Voice - Amy Nicholson

Can a plane jump a shark when it's already in the air? To Disney, that question is moot. It's so certain that Planes will make a mint in toys, if not in theaters, that it's already slated a sequel for next summer. Read full review

Not a really funny movie at all. But the films may have a misuse of many records that Cars broke at the box office. Because of Planes being a box office bomb. I would just be off seeing Doug's Movie instead.

"Planes" was a fairly regular movie. But what the controversy wins is that the movie is linked to the world of Cars. But not to the world of Pixar. The story is very dramatically bad, and a little predictable indeed was not a correct idea.

Pretty much a rehash of the cars movies with less interesting characters, but the same universe, the same types of characters and the same animation styles. I expect more.

I can’t believe I’m saying this but this movie makes Cars 2 look enjoyable. Cars 2 didn’t get a low score because it was a bad film but because it was from a studio that was capable of more than an average kids film. This is just a straight up bad movie that I would not recommend watching toI can’t believe I’m saying this but this movie makes Cars 2 look enjoyable. Cars 2 didn’t get a low score because it was a bad film but because it was from a studio that was capable of more than an average kids film. This is just a straight up bad movie that I would not recommend watching to anyone outside of toddlers. Outside of some nice flying segments, nice animation on the environments, and decent theme this film has nothing to offer. The characters are boring and cliché and the story is unoriginal borrowing heavily from previous entries in the franchise and lacking the heart those films had (moreso than original Cars). This has to be one of the worst animated films I have ever seen because of how half assed it is. Do yourself a favor and avoid this movie. If you have kids show them another animated film that came out this year like Monsters University or Despicable Me 2 they may not be great they are far more entertaining for the family than this lazy production that was all money no heart (don’t believe me they already have a sequel planned, which they promote at the end credits).… Expand

Cars 2 meets Planes with a recycled plot and characters so one-dimensional, even the sub-Pixar animation style is enough to fill this abysmal cesspit to the brim of its 90 minute runtime. Even more obvious of a cashgrab than Cars 2, the upcoming sequel to this will likely continue Disney'sCars 2 meets Planes with a recycled plot and characters so one-dimensional, even the sub-Pixar animation style is enough to fill this abysmal cesspit to the brim of its 90 minute runtime.
