Disney - Planes 2 Fire and Rescue - Review


We are very excited to attend the first UK Gala Screening of Planes 2 Fire and Rescue in London's
Odeon Leicester Square. We really loved the first movie Planes so we were really intrigued to see what Planes 2 Fire and Rescue could offer.

Planes 2  Director  Bobs Gannaway and Producter  Ferrell Brown
We are super excited to see Dusty (voice of Dane Cook) back in this cool new adventure, We couldn't  wait to watch the movie, We were awe to learn form the movie director  Bobs Gannaway (Secret of the Wings) that it took two and a half years to get the fire effects of the movie as realistic as possible and the movie was researched with real life fighters to ensue this movie was at its very best, This made us even more excited to watch the movie.


The movie begins when Dusty learns he may never race again due to engine damage, Just when we thought it was all over for poor Dusty, Things take an about turn and Dusty is launched into ariel firefighting as he joins forces with veteran fire and rescue helicopter Blade Ranger and his cool team consisting of air tanker Dipper (voice of Julie Bowen), heavy-lift helicopter Wind lifter, ex-military transport Cabbie and a lively bunch of brave all-terrain vehicles known as The Smoke jumpers as they all battle a huge wildfire,


Dusty soon learns what it takes to be a true hero. We really loved every moment of this movie, the cool fire effects gave an awesome realistic feel to the movie whcih left us on the edge of our seats, My boys were totally gripped and  fascinated with the cool characters, and the ever changing scenery and 3D effects.


The storyline was gripping, great for children and adults alike. Another truly amazing movie form Disney. Planes 2 Fire and Rescue left us wanting to watch the movie all over again.
