Planes will be out in U.S. theaters on Friday August 16, 2013. "Planes" portrays a fleet of aircraft that is as loveable as the automobiles in "Cars," an underdog story of Dusty Crophopper who aspires to win the air racing championship that challenges contenders to fly around the globe.
The film features voice actors including Dane Cook, Teri Hatcher and Julia Louis-Dreyfus, but to tap into the global scope of the story, Hall brought on veteran British actor John Cleese as Bulldog, the oldest racing contender, and Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra to play Ishani.
"Planes," made by Walt Disney Picture's (DIS.N) DisneyToon Studios for $50 million, was originally planned as a direct-to-DVD release. It was heavily inspired by the success of "Cars," the Disney-Pixar hit film that made more than $461 million at the worldwide box office, according to Box Office Mojo. The sequel, "Cars 2," garnered $559 million in global ticket sales.
