Planes review

If you thought those flipping Cars films were bad you ain't seen nothing yet...

'Bland' and 'cynical' aren't words we ever expected to find ourselves using when reviewing a Pixar film. But then we never imagined that the studio would release anything as crass and merchandise-motivated as this Cars spin-off. Still, this Blu-ray release is an absolute knock-out thanks to its dazzling AVC 1.78:1 1080p transfer and precision-engineered DTS-HD MA 7.1 mix. Best of all though is the inclusion of the award-winning Mickey Mouse short Croissant de triomphe in addition to all of the extras from the US release (which is a turn up for the books).

Planes, Walt Disney, All-region BD, £20 Approx
HCC VERDICT: 2/5
