Cars Spinoff Planes Flying Into Cinemas
Following the box office success of Cars and inventively titled sequel Cars 2, Disney Animation has been working on a spin-off movie that takes the familiar approach of giving vehicles eyes and celebrity voices, then imagining the kind of adventures they might have. Only this time they’re using planes not cars, hence the equally obvious choice of title, ‘Planes’.
Despite mixed and lackluster critical reactions to the Cars franchise, it proved a moderate success at the box office and made Pixar/Disney even more on toys and tie-in merchandise. No doubt the studio will be hoping for the same lucrative results when Planes arrives in cinemas August 9th.
