Did you know that Planes: Fire & Rescue has opened in the theaters? I haven’t had a chance to take my kids to see it yet, but they definitely want to! We went to a preview event at the Disney store downtown a week ago and the kids were able to see some clips of the movies and play games. They had a good time.
o Fly low – using a tarp, kids crawl under or walk as low as they can without touching the tarp
o Parachute manipulation – kids will toss a smokejumper (with a parachute) in the air and land on the target
o Rescue – need to find/rescue deer (John Deere Tractors) hidden in the store and bring them back to Piston Peak Air Attack Base
Buddy joined in on the games, but he told us afterward that he was really too old for them. Sigh, why do they grow up so fast?! At least he didn’t complain at the store, and really he did look like he was having a good time overall.
One of the clips we got to see was the new Brad Paisley song “All In”:
“Planes: Fire & Rescue” is a new comedy-adventure about second chances, featuring a dynamic crew of elite firefighting aircraft devoted to protecting historic Piston Peak National Park from raging wildfire. When world-famous air racer Dusty (voice of Dane Cook) learns that his engine is damaged and he may never race again, he must shift gears and is launched into the world of aerial firefighting. Dusty joins forces with veteran fire-and-rescue helicopter Blade Ranger (voice of Ed Harris) and his courageous team, including spirited air tanker Dipper (voice of Julie Bowen), heavy-lift helicopter Windlifter (voice of Wes Studi), ex-military transport Cabbie (voice of Captain Dale Dye) and a lively bunch of brave all-terrain vehicles known as The Smokejumpers. Together, the fearless team battles a massive wildfire and Dusty learns what it takes to become a true hero.
Has your family seen Planes: Fire & Rescue yet? If so, I’d love to hear your thoughts!
Note: My family was invited to an event at the Disney store in Chicago where we learned more about Disney’s Planes: Fire and Rescue. All thoughts are my own.
We have seen it – it’s super cute! It’s about an hour and a half long, but only felt like 45 minutes.
Yes, we saw it and we loved it… can’t wait till it comes to video.
We are going to see this over this coming weekend. My boys have been asking repeatedly lol!
Looks like another cute movie! I know my nephews will love it!
I think this would be a really great movie to see. I usually wait until they come out for sale and then give them away as Christmas gifts. No one does movies like Disney. 🙂 Thanks for sharing.
I really like Brad Paisley, so it’s cool seeing this clip with his song in it. This looks like a really cute movie. I’m excited to check it out.
We haven’t seen this yet, but I know my son will love it. He loves all Disney movies but Planes was a real hit with him!
Your kids will love, love, love it. My kids haven’t stopped talking about it since they saw it… They have already started collecting the collectibles now… ha
Kids grow up way too fast. I remember when my nephew was a little guy with a ginormous head who loved to run laps in my sister’s living room. Now all he does is talk about girls…
I’m so excited to see this! My daughter and husband LOVE Planes and I think this would be the best father/daughter date!
My son has some Planes stuff! We he gets older I am sure he will want to see this movie!
How fun! My kids love planes. Thanks for sharing this.
I am LOVING the idea of a tarp to fly low under…Going to give this a go tomorrow and hopefully engage my kids some!! Thanks!!
My kids have been asking to watch that movie! I have to admit; I think it looks pretty cute and I cant’ wait to see it with them.
Looks like such a cute movie! I will have to take my son to this! Glad you enjoyed it!
I’m eager to go see this with my kids. They enjoyed the first PLANES so I know they will enjoy this one even more, plus, they are a bit older and might just sit through the entire movie.
I think those games are neat for young kids! My daughter loved the movie Cars when it came out, so I bet she would love this one too!
I have seen the movie and loved it!! It has a great meaning to it and the story action packed too!
this movie looks fun. i’m gonna bring my daughter soon!
We haven’t seen this movie yet, but it’s on our list! It looks like a great one.
We haven’t seen it yet – waiting for my son to earn it on his chart!! Super excited though!
I havent seen this yet. I want to take my grandson to it though!
The kids and I haven’t seen this movie yet. We’ll have to watch it for our next family movie night.
Saw the show and we all thought it was definately worth the money
This looks like such a cute movie. I know all my nieces and nephews loved Planes, so I know they will love this one just as much!
