Disney's Planes is pretty much just a money-grab, right?

Yes. And boys like toys. The money is (mostly) in the merchandise.

Strangely enough, it's actually NOT being done by Pixar. However, it is loosely based on a Cars short called "Air Mater" I believe. John Lasseter is involved, but through Disney Toons. I don't quite get it... Wonder if Disney is making changes? I also noticed that this movie is PG. Wonder why???

If I remember right, this was supposed to be a straight to DVD film.

It was supposed to be a straight to DVD movie, but it turned out decent enough to get a theatrical release.

They already have the sequel planned to be released next year.

My son is 6. I can walk into his bedroom and find a die cast of every single character in the first two movies. Now we have a fricking airport to add.

I feel your pain.

You only have like 4 or 5 more years left of this until he grows out of Disney and then Disney can GTFO your lives.

Those pilot names HAVE to be shoehorned into the movie somehow
