It's a follow up to Cars and is really the same story, but with planes instead of cars. Children under five years and some slightly older children might find some of the scenes too scary, so we don't recommend the movie for children under 5 years. We also recommend parental guidance for children aged 5-8 years.

Disney’s Planes (2013) is rated G, but child development experts generally recommend it for children aged 6 and older. While the movie is a spin-off of the Cars franchise and features colorful, anthropomorphic characters, it contains significantly more "intense" sequences than its predecessor. Specifically, there are scenes depicting war-time combat, where a character recounts a traumatic memory of his squadron being shot down in flames. There are also high-stakes racing accidents, including a scene where the protagonist, Dusty Crophopper, crashes into the ocean and is nearly lost. For toddlers under 5, these scenes can be frightening or difficult to process. However, for primary-school-aged children, the movie provides a positive message about overcoming fear and physical limitations. Parents should be aware of mild "potty humor" and some romantic innuendo between the planes, but otherwise, it is a safe, family-friendly choice for kids who have outgrown the simplest cartoons but aren't yet ready for more mature action films.
