We invited our readers to a special screening party this week for a chance to pre-view the movie before its DVD release. Our audience gave the movie a 4.65 star rating and the following feedback:
"My son loved it!" - Mom of 5 year old
"It was awesome!" - 6 year old viewer
"Good movie with a great message." - Mom of 10 year old
"Such beautiful graphics, animation and scenes. What you'd expect from Disney/Pixar." - Mom of 7 & 11 year old
"Loved it! Just as good, if not better than Cars!" - Mom of 7, 9, 11 & 12 year old
"We all liked it a lot. Can't wait to get it on DVD." - Dad of 4 & 8 year old
Just as you would expect from Disney, Planes is a feel good movie with positive messages such as believing in yourself, helping others, overcoming your weaknesses, and reaching for your dreams. The beautiful animation and lovable characters will keep the youngest of viewers entertained while older kids (and parents too) will find themselves laughing at several points as they follow the plot and twists of the story line. Adults will appreciate the references to Top Gun with Val Kilmer and Anthony Edwards as Fighter Jets Echo & Bravo. All that put together makes for a movie the whole family will enjoy at your next movie night.
