Disney's
Planes Fire & Rescue has landed on
Blu-ray Combo Pack, Digital HD, Disney Movies Anywhere, DVD and On-Demand (Whew! That was a mouth full!). The follow-up to last year's
Planes comes the world famous racer Dusty Crophopper who joins an elite fire and rescue unit and learns what it takes to be a true hero. They high-flying comedy adventure also comes jet packed with an all-new exclusive animated short, deleted scenes, music video and more.
Planes Fire & Rescue is a step above it's predecessor in just about every area. The film tackles some very difficult issues and questions, especially for children, in a way that they can understand. You probably have to go all the way back to
Bambi to find a Disney film that covers some of the subject matter contained within the film... My 7 year old LOVED the rescue vehicles, but I really liked the story.
Produced by John Lassiter, known most recently for
Wreck-It-Ralph,
Frozen and
Big Hero 6 (due to hit theaters this week, keep an eye out for my review on Friday!), you're guaranteed to have a good time and you know that it's going to look amazing. The movie is very well put together and has a great cast. Your children are sure to love it and don't be shocked if YOU enjoy it as well. You may even get a little wet around the eyes during the movie... I didn't, but there's a good chance that YOU will.

About The Author:
ComicBookMovie.com and Best Little Sites was the brainchild of Nate and a friend way back in 2002. Nate initially focused on the back-end programming and front-end design, but now manages the company and its associated sites as well, with a LOT of help from some very talented contributors.
Nate has loved comics from a very young age and continues to read them on a regular basis thanks to subscriptions to various titles (both Marvel and DC). He also loves movies, as his wife and children will attest. He's not overly critical of movies, so his reviews should be taken with a grain of salt as he's much more interested in being entertained and escaping the "real" world for a couple of hours than finding every conceivable plot-hole and character flaw in a film.
Outside of his guilty "nerdy" pleasures, Nate enjoys spending time with his wife and three boys, CrossFit, playing guitar, coaching youth sports and MMA (he spent a couple of years in the cage as an NHB fighter, but is now MUCH too old).
