mwcrunner I know this is suppose to be sort of a spin off of Cars, but this film didn't have the Pixar logo with it. Also the characters in this look cool but they're very similar to the characters from Cars. Now I have a little brother who likes the movie Cars and that has the Pixar logo with it. Now this Dusty Crophopper is very similar to Lightning McQueen and his goal is to be a racing plane other then a crop duster. Now I've never known about plane racing as a sport until now. Also this old plane from World War 2 is sorta like Doc Hudson aka the Hudson Hornet and this green plane named Ripslinger is like Chick Hicks and he doesn't become a villain until Dusty joins the races and in the end he ends up crashing into Port potties and gets covered in car do do. There's also this one part in the movie which is pretty dark where the World War 2 plane tells about his past and some of his fellow fighter planes end up dying while attacking a German ship. Now in the end Dusty becomes plane racing legend just like Lightning and everything works out well. Still the whole plot of this film is very similar to the plot of Cars and this film just didn't seem to have very much laughter or emotional moments in it like other Disney films do. So like in the title of this review, this Disney film just didn't seem to have the right amount of heart in it and Frozen is way better then this. The Lion King is also one of my favorites.

Madame Monster This was worthy of being a spin off movie? Not The Incredibles?1. The movie has a terrible story. This movie is like every other clique sports movie about the underdog that no one believes in rises to the challenge and wins. If you want to do a story like that fine but if you don't add anything new or creative to it than your wasting my time. 2. The characters are some of the most annoying and insufferable vehicles ever. Dusty's friends are irritating to listen and watch. Plus they are all just stereotypes that have no personal identity or purpose. The bad guy is just like The Turbo bad guy. Which coincidentally came out not to long after this movie. 3. This movie has terrible pacing. Dusty isn't good at racing but gets better with every race, bad guy hatches a plan to stop Dusty, it backfires and Dusty is adored by fans Later rinse and repeat this goes on for fifty percent of the movie.4. The animation isn't as good as other Disney and Pixar movies but it's decent.This movie just feel like a movie they should have played on Disney Channel for little kids to watch. Not a theatrical release which bombed at the box office. Plus it doesn't help there is a sequel and there was an announcement that there would be another sequel to this movie. The only reason this was made was to make money like with Cars and sadly when you think about the money more than the effort of a movie you failed your job.

ofpsmith I didn't go into the theater expecting a whole lot. It looked to me as if it was jut going to be a Cars spin off. And guess what? I was totally right. All Disney did here was put the face on another machine and make a kids film out of it. Notice I said Disney instead of Pixar. Pixar was not behind this film, it was Disney by themselves. Also keep in mind that I love cars and it's sequel. This was just a knock off of Cars. Well how is the film itself? Not great. It's not really a bad film, but to be fair I can't really call it a good film either. It's just kind of bland. A crop duster named Dusty Crophopper (Dane Cook) is an ordinary Joe Schmoe who dreams of being the best. So he settles on plane racing. Dusty finds a mentor in Skipper Riley (Stacy Keach) an old F4U Corsair to get him ready for the race. And then the big race comes, and it's the underdog story with a greedy co-competitor as our antagonist and all that. That's pretty much the film for you. Overall this was just really bland. The story never really had much interest in it for me and parts of it were just kind of long and drawn out. The most forgettable character was the villain which is that greedy race plane I mentioned earlier. When the villain is the least memorable character, that's a bad sign. I don't know if people like this guy or not, but I don't remember much of anything about him. I don't even remember his name or anything that he did. Keep in mind I haven't seen it in a long time, but still. I should be able to remember at least something about a film's villain, and with this guy I just really don't. I can't really recommend it a whole lot so I'll just end by saying, see Cars instead.

policy134 It is not easy to find faults with animated films these days because there are so many being made these days. Let's remember that it takes a ton of work to make a good one, and you almost feel double disappointed when the film does not live up to its intended effort.Like I said, I admire the effort it must have taken to put this out. The problem is that it lacks a truly original story. This is such a formula script that I almost felt sorry for the actors who intended to elevate it and they do, but only slightly.The animation is very high standard but let's not forget that it's style have been tried out two times before, starting when we first saw Cars. There is little difference here but as I said, it's very well done.The script is so formulaic however, that it brings the whole enterprise down. There is also a problem with the lead character. He is just too goody two shoes for us to care much about his struggles and without colorful supporting characters to back him up, I am sorry to say that you feel completely let down about two thirds into the whole thing.So, what to do. Shall I recommend this movie just because of the effort that was put into it? Sorry, I can't. There are too many outlets for entertainment these days that it would be a terrible waste to see something so inferior for that kind of money a movie ticket will cost you today. Save it for a rainy day on Blu-ray, which I am thankful that I did.
