It?s officially official: Disney?s Cars spinoff Planes is getting a theatrical release after all. Though the film was initially set for a direct-to-DVD release, hints started surfacing this past summer that Disney was considering releasing the film theatrically instead, as John Lasseter had grown particularly fond of the pic. Today, Disney announced that Planes will indeed open in theaters on August 9, 2013.

As one can surmise, Planes takes place in Cars? terrifying world of anthropomorphic vehicles and centers on an eclectic international cast of the aerial variety. The story focuses on Dusty, ?a small town dreamer who longs to enter the most epic around-the-world air race? despite his fear of heights.? Essentially it?s a cross between Cars and the atrocious Cars 2, but with planes. The film is not, however, being produced by Pixar.

That looks awful. I don't know why they need to say stuff like "All this thrust, a single prop". It's not very appealing to kids!

kids aren't gonna care what thats implying to anyway

I am totally sure that this will be their weakest film for a LONG time, no interest from me here :/

no offense but its not supposed to be for you......now my kids will love this

It looks like little more than pro-military propaganda. I mean, it's best to get them while they're young. (Y)

Not quite sure if both watched the same vid or not. All I saw was a trailer for what looks like an interesting movie.

Little kids like planes, i like planes. As a kid i was obsessed with jet fighters, watching videos, making models. Am i a pilot in the military now? Nope.

Was thinking it's a cartoon that tells kids about how plane works and how can they fly so fast, and maybe how military technology advanced since WWII, aka an educational cartoon about all kind of planes.

But unfortunately another generic cartoon with lots of explosions. Don't we have enough this genre for kids already?

Anyway, lots of people will like it for sure.

    • Linux 7.2's first release candidate gets off to a good start

      Could you come up with a slightly less depressing background for Tux instead of that gray gradient? Doesn't have to be cheerful, just less of a downer...
    • Linux 7.2's first release candidate gets off to a good start

      By zikalify · Posted

      Linux 7.2's first release candidate gets off to a good start by Paul Hill Credit: Larry Ewing It has been a few weeks since the release of Linux 7.1, and in that time, the Linux 7.2 merge window has been open, where developers can submit their features and patches ready for the upcoming release. That window is now shut, and the release candidate phase has begun so that new features can be tested and further fixes applied. According to the founder of Linux, Linus Torvalds, this week’s release candidate looks “reasonably normal”. Although we are super early in the release candidates, this is a good sign as it makes it more likely that an eighth release candidate will not be needed. Torvalds even mentioned that the update’s stats are only larger than they really are because there was another AMD header drop with a third of the patch just being AMD GPU register definitions, which aren’t big changes but make the code contributed look larger overall. In addition to this, he noted that just over half the patch is drivers, even when excluding the AMD register dump. The rest of the changes are spread out over architecture updates, tooling, documentation, and core kernel updates. In the next week, Torvalds says that he will be chilling out, taking the week “mostly off”. Despite this, he will be reading emails and keeping up with things, so if he is slow responding, now you know why. He said he is hoping for a calm week, but we will just have to see if the second release candidate is actually like that. We should expect seven or eight release candidates before Linux 7.2 is released, so expect it around the end of August. If you missed it a few weeks ago, be sure to check out our coverage of Linux 7.1's release.

      Ridiculous claim that the labor cost difference of $6000 annually would increase cost per phone by $200. The employees produce 3 phones per month or what?

      Never used the G7 Pro, but I've never had a good experience with that style of d-pad and fighting games.
