MEET THE RIVAL AIRCRAFTS IN “DISNEY'S PLANES”

After introducing the voice cast comprising Team Dusty, the hero group in “Disney's Planes” last March, the studio now announces Dusty's high-flying competitors in the ultimate international race.

The competition is led by Julia Louis-Dreyfus, John Cleese, Carlos Alazraqui, Priyanka Chopra, Gabriel Iglesias and Roger Craig Smith. Below are the first-look images of the characters, with corresponding descriptions.

 

Inspired by the world of “Cars,” “Disney’s Planes” is an action-packed 3D animated comedy adventure about Dusty’s dream of competing as a high-flying air racer—and his decidedly unfortunate fear of heights.

Ripslinger (voice of Roger Craig Smith). With more wins than he can count and an abundance of fans, Ripslinger is wings-down the biggest name in air racing—and he knows it. But despite sky’s-the-limit funding and state-of-the-art equipment, the world champion still doesn’t play fair—especially when it comes to a small-town plane with zero racing experience. Dusty doesn’t belong in Ripslinger’s sport and his mere presence makes the pro’s fuel boil. And if Dusty’s inexperience doesn’t take him out of the race, Ripslinger’s vast empire includes a couple of underhanded sidekicks to take care of business.

Distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures International, “Planes” takes off in Philippine theaters in 3D and be presented in Disney Digital 3D™ in select cinemas.
