I was sent an early review copy of Disney’s Planes Fire and Rescue before my recent Disney press trip to Los Angeles. Travel and accommodations and movie were covered by Disney but all thoughts and opinions are my own. Images are courtesy of Disney.
Disney’s Planes Fire and Rescue is finally available to own on Blu-ray, DVD, and digital download! I never had the chance to see Planes Fire and Rescue in the theaters, so the first time I saw it, I was snuggled on the couch, surrounded by my husband and kids in September. I have to tell you – Planes Fire and Rescue exceeded all of my expectations. I hate to admit it (as a Disney-loving, family-friendly mom) that I was underwhelmed by the original Planes movie. It was cute and had a good message, but it didn’t WOW me.
Planes Fire and Rescue, on the other hand? It hooked me from the beginning. While it is still kid-friendly, the story was more engaging for me. It was fun and exciting, and full of even more breathtaking vistas and vibrant colors. I loved the message of second chances – and finding joy and fulfillment in different and new places.
Disney’s Planes are back in the high-flying comedy adventure “PLANES: FIRE & RESCUE,” landing on Disney Blu-ray Combo Pack, Digital HD, Disney Movies Anywhere, DVD and On-Demand platforms today.
