In the "airport" section of our family room, Dusty Crophopper, Ripslinger, Bulldog and more friends from
Disney's
Planes are lined up and ready for takeoff. When my son saw the movie last year, the story of the gutsy cropduster with a dream captured his then three-year-old heart and imagination...and I also think he developed a crush on the aerodynamic plane named Ishani.

I am happy to say that I thought
Fire & Rescue (which opens July 18) was even better than
Planes, and it is a wonderful tribute to all those who fight fires. As one character says about the fire planes, "They fly in when others fly out." The action starts off in Propwash Junction with Dusty and his friends from the first movie, but quickly moves to Piston Peak, where Dusty goes to train and become certified as a firefighter. And, of course, we get to meet a some new friends, including a Dusty super fan, voiced by Julie Bowen of tv's
Modern Family, who likes to watch Dusty while he sleeps.
Fun Thing To Watch For: If you have been to the Grand Californian Hotel at Disneyland, you will see that the Grand Fusel Lodge in the movie looks just like it.

You are most likely going to be seeing
Planes: Fire & Rescue if you have little ones, but I do think that mom and dad and older siblings will enjoy the movie, too. We saw it at the LA Live Regal Cinemas in 3D, and the flying and fire scenes were absolutely spectacular. And do stay through the credits (the movie is very short) for a little surprise about one of the characters. Enjoy! Maybe we can look forward to a third
Planes film in Summer 2015?
And...thanks to Disney for these two
activity sheets for the kids! Print the pics and have fun coloring and doing the maze.
