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.

    • Why it's almost impossible to produce a smartphone in the United States

      Tim Cook: "The US over time began to stop having as many vocational kinds of skills." What's the point of wasting time getting those skills if you can't get a job with them? Good Lord, maybe he and his cohort of CEO's who exported all these jobs to China should just shut the f**k up :D

    • Microsoft Opens Fairwater: Wisconsin AI Campus Runs as One Supercomputer via 800G Ethernet

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      Closed-loop cooling and a custom 800G network protocol let the $7.3B campus run as one AI training machine. Microsoft confirmed June 23, 2026, that its Fairwater campus in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, is fully operational — and the engineering behind it makes the facility something fundamentally different from every data center that came before it. Where conventional cloud infrastructure racks up general-purpose servers and parcels out workloads to each one independently, Fairwater links hundreds of thousands of NVIDIA GB200 Blackwell GPUs into a single, coherent cluster using a two-story building design, 800-gigabit-per-second Ethernet fabric, and a proprietary networking protocol co-developed with OpenAI and NVIDIA. The result, according to Microsoft, is the closest thing to a purpose-built AI supercomputer that any company has ever placed in commercial operation. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/319205/20260627/microsoft-opens-fairwater-wisconsin-ai-campus-runs-one-supercomputer-via-800g-ethernet.htm
