The film is a derivative work of " Cars ", but it has nothing to do with Pixar, but is produced by Disney Toon, a subsidiary of Disney.
-
The film is the first DisneyToon animation to appear on the big screen in eight and a half years after " Pooh's Heffalump Movie " in 2005.
-
The film was originally scheduled to be released on DVD directly in the spring of 2013, but because Pixar boss John Lasseter himself has a soft spot for "Aircraft", he finally decided to make it on the big screen. He is one of the screenwriters and executive producers of the film.
-
Before "Planes", Disney's "Ade's Diary Movie Version", " Toy Story 2 ", " Tigger Adventure ", and " Return to Never Land " were also screened from DVD to big screen.
-
" Two And A Half Men " actor Jon Claire was originally scheduled to voice the film's protagonist Dusty.
-
Although Pixar tycoon John Lasseter hopes that the film will become "Toy Story 2", the response after the film was released was not good.
-
In the film, Dusty’s flight instructor, Skipper, an old-fashioned aircraft that served in World War II, is based on John Lasseter’s own father. Director Clay Hall's father was also a navy.
