Celebrating the Wondrous World Of Flight All November At Aviation Museums Across The Country
This November, Disney salutes National Aviation History Month, a month-long celebration of U.S. aviation's storied past, with the release of the high-flying family adventure "PLANES" on Blu-ray, DVD, Digital HD and On-Demand on November 19, and through educational partnership with aviation museums across the country.
Beginning November 5, 2013, select aviation museums will feature "PLANES"-inspired learning materials designed to introduce children to the exhilarating world of flight and its most celebrated figures. These materials include the Disney "PLANES" Reel, featuring "Top Ten Flyers," a countdown of some of the greatest aviators in history hosted by ESPN's Colin Cowherd, "Aviation Fun Facts" tip sheets, and activity sheets families can fill out while visiting their favorite aviation museums.
To further celebrate National Aviation History Month, Disney will release the spirited animated comedy "PLANES" on November 19 for families to enjoy at-home. Throughout our nation's history, the world of flight has given us such influential role models as the Wright Brothers, Charles Lindbergh and Amelia Earhart, all famous aviators who proved that, no matter how high their dreams, with imagination, hard work and perseverance, anything is possible. Now, the world of Disney animation gives families everywhere a new kind of high-flying role model in Dusty, the crop dusting plane with sky-high dreams at the center of Disney's "PLANES." His indomitable spirit reflects that of history's great aviators and is sure to inspire children's imaginations to take flight this November.
