A crop duster called Dusty Crophopper (Cook) dreams of being a racing plane, so with the reluctant backing of his friends he enters a qualifying race and comes in fifth, meaning he gains a place in the famous Wings Across The World racing competition. Unfortunately, Dusty has one failing that could cost him dearly – he is afraid of heights.

There was something a little lacking and more than a little desperate about this Pixar movie - the reason being it is not a Pixar movie! The characters weren’t particularly interesting, and the plot was so obvious – a plane that’s scared of heights – that I groaned when Dusty first revealed his fears, that this could have been a complete flop, but there’s still a lot of energy here, and the animation is enjoyable to watch, but this was basically Cars 3 with wings.
