Synopsis:This sequel finds championship air-racer Dusty
Crophopper (voice of Dane Cook) beginning
an exciting new career fighting forest fires. In the wake of another successful
racing season, Dusty returns home to Propwash Junction to resume his training.
But a debilitating injury forces Rusty to consider a new career path. Before
long Rusty is training with the Aerial Fire Fighters at Piston Peak Air Attack
Base. Becoming a Single Engine Air Tanker (SEAT) is no simple task for an
injured plane, but with the guidance of seasoned fire-and-rescue helicopter
Blade Ranger (voice of Ed Harris), fearless leader of the Piston Peak Air
Attack team, Rusty is soon soaring through the clouds once again.
Review:
Small minded and
kiddish, this adventure is nothing more than a rehash of Disney’s earlier
forays into auto-mated territory. The character dynamics
are familiar but effective. The visuals are beautiful, the aerial acrobatics are thrilling and
the voice performances add gravitas to the entire show.
Script writer and
director Bobs Gannaway (a longtime Disney TV helmer making his feature debut) and
returning “Planes” scribe Jeffrey M. Howard were inspired by the fact that crop
dusters were in fact used in wildfire air attacks which becomes the basis
for heavy dramatics in this picture accompanied by impressively staged
setpieces. The animation here is nearly flawless in its detailed rendering of natural
settings. The fire is also rendered flawlessly, which makes the rescue acts
even more thrilling. And that’s the most unique and impressive feature of this
otherwise standardized production.
In other words, this
is nothing much more than a simple elevated tale- of fire fighting planes to
the rescue with Dusty, experiencing trouble and therefore reinventing himself
for a far more noble cinematic sojourn.
Best suited for the
below 10 age group. Their wards will have to bear-up with it , of course!
