May
15, 2013 -- The summer release of “Disney’s Planes,” the animated
comedy adventure from above the world of the popular 2006 film “Cars,”
has the entire aviation community buzzing. “Disney’s Planes” captures
all of the thrill and excitement that flying has to offer—plus a lot of
heart and humour.
For
thousands of air-show attendees, the movie will jump to life with
Dusty’s flying performance at select air shows across North America.
Dusty will show off his talents, communicate with the crowd and be
accompanied by an exclusive and uplifting Disney musical score.
“‘Disney’s
Planes’ is a great underdog story, said director and aviation
enthusiast Klay Hall. “It has a lot of heart and a message we can all
use: If we can believe in ourselves, step out of our comfort zones and
get past whatever fear is holding us back, we’d be surprised with the
results. And that’s exactly what happens to Dusty in this movie. He’s a
crop duster who’s never flown above 1,000 feet, but he dreams of being
the fastest air racer in the world. He has a lot of obstacles to
overcome and needs to dig pretty deep to find the courage to become more
than he was built for.”
David
White, Co-Producer of the Waterloo Air Show added: “The Waterloo Air
Show is a wonderful family event and we are absolutely thrilled to be a
part of the ultimate family experience with this very special appearance
of Dusty from ‘Disney’s Planes.’ We invite those of all ages to join us
for this most unique event.”
The
owner and pilot of the aircraft tapped to play the role of Dusty in the
air show performances is Texas-based aerial applicator Rusty Lindeman,
who customized one of his own Air Tractor AT-301 airplanes to match
Dusty’s paint scheme and features. Manufactured in Olney, Texas, Air
Tractor aircraft are used for agricultural spraying, seeding and
fertilizing, plus forestry protection, fire fighting and more in the
U.S. and more than 30 countries around the world. “We’re happy to help
bring Dusty to life for the performances and hope that the audience will
have fun and learn a bit more about the importance of aerial
application in modern agriculture,” said Air Tractor’s Kristin Edwards.
Air
Tractor's founder, Leland Snow, designed, built and flew his own
purpose-built crop duster in 1953 and devoted his career to designing
bigger and better aircraft for aerial application.
ABOUT THE MOVIE
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. Featuring a talented
roster of voice talent, including Stacy Keach, Brad Garrett, Teri
Hatcher, Julia Louis-Dreyfus and more, “Disney’s Planes” takes off in
theatres on Aug. 9, 2013. For more information, check out Disney.com/Planes, like us on Facebook: facebook.com/DisneyPlanes or facebook.com/WaltDisneyStudiosCanada and follow us on Twitter: twitter.com/DisneyPictures.
