Planes get a fly-by

Not only does this film see Maverick & Goose (Anthony Edwards and Val Kilmer) back together in a film about aircraft it also sees, well you can hear him anyway, John Cleese as a de Havilland DH.88. If you don't want to follow the link, he's the airplane witht eh union jack on it!

It's basically a retelling, of sorts, of the first Cars film but set around an air race instead of the Piston Cup.

From above the world of Cars comes Disney’s Planes an action-packed 3D animated comedy adventure featuring Dusty (voice of Dane Cook), a plane with dreams of competing as a high-flying air racer. But Dusty’s not exactly built for racing—and he happens to be afraid of heights. So he turns to a seasoned naval aviator who helps Dusty qualify to take on the defending champ of the race circuit. Dusty’s courage is put to the ultimate test as he aims to reach heights he never dreamed possible, giving a spellbound world the inspiration to soar.

Disney's Planes flies into UK cinemas on August 16, 2013.
