Planes: Fire & Rescue (3D)

It's "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles" when Disney blends "CHiPs" and "Emergency!" themes into their "Planes" sequel. Former crop duster turned air racer Dusty Crophopper develops a mechanical problem which forces him to consider a career change to become a fire fighter. It's comedy and high drama for the young and old (but targeting 8 to 10 year olds) as this 3D film honors all fire fighters. There's lots of aerial action as smokejumpers along with their air support struggle to put out fires in the beautiful national park. Look for one last clip in the middle of the credits.
