Why is there to an article for the sequel when the link just takes you to the same page? Aidensdaddy2k9 (talk) 00:46, 1 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The interminable list of over two dozen reviews (nearly all of them using the format "XXX gave the film YYY out of ZZZ stars") would be clearer and more informative if it were formatted as a table, with columns for "reviewer's name", "publication", "rating", and "comment". Wikipedia policy may say otherwise, but this is a clear example that the policy needs to be changed. Mkilby (talk) 12:24, 21 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I get that you guys the think the Rotten Tomatoes template is stupid but in the future when the score gets updated the template will make alot of sense. The score is just updating alot today cause the films being released tomorrow. Koala15 (talk) 00:29, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
With the exceptions of the Corsair (Skipper), the Gee Bee (El Chupacabra) and the de Havilland DH.88 Comet (Bulldog), the planes are an amalgamation of features from a particular type of aircraft. Although one model may provide the basic layout.
Dusty is closest to an Air Tractor AT-400. Disney paid to have an AT-301 painted to look like Dusty and converted to AT-400A spec (engine upgrade from radial to the PT-6A turbine mentioned later in the film). The plane is being featured in air shows. [1]
Ishani is based on Burt Rutan's pusher canards (or their derivatives) which started with the Vari-Eze.
Leadbottom appears to be based on the Stearman PT-17, surplus models of which made up the bulk of the crop duster fleet after WWII. But the wings/struts are more like those of the Sopwith Camel and the engine and cowling are closest to certain installations of the Le Rhône radial engine.
Ripslinger is based on the Sharp Nemesis NXT http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sharp_Nemesis_NXT

I never actually watched the show, but I recognized the I-16 from the advertisements (which character is he?). Yet, I do not see that in the article. Also, the main character looks very similar to a Yak-9, what features indicate that it is not? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.188.168.11 (talk) 02:27, 1 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Correction on my previous comment: I recognize that considering the racing context of the show, the one character would in fact be a GeeBee. The character right behind the blue and green one does look like an At-502, maybe I confused the characters, as I haven't seen the show. However, the green and blue one very much looks like a Yak-9, perhaps there is a racing variant? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.188.168.178 (talk) 02:42, 1 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

As of now, Planes is Disneytoon's highest grossing theatrical movie to date (It surpassed The Jungle Book 2's total of $135 million and and Return to Neverland's total of 109 million). Shouldn't we mention this in the article? Rowdy the Ant talk to Rowdy 21:46, 1 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have noticed that Deor removed an image that I put in the "Soundtrack" part of the page. The reason why I added it is because the "Cover" perimeter of the infobox was left blank, so I just filled it in. Some pages about movies on Wikipedia also contain more than one copyrighted image, such as Ratatouille (film), Wreck-It Ralph, and Dragon Ball Z: The Tree of Might. The image I uploaded of the soundtrack cover was only being used once and it was reduced in size by one of the bots so it falls under fair use. If i'm doing anything wrong, let me know.

In the article it is said that Rochelle is from Quebec. However the reference provided only said that she is french-canadian. I understand that most of the french-canadian live in Quebec and that most of the quebecker are french-canadian, but there are two different concepts — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.221.52.170 (talk) 23:08, 1 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The single line Accolades table would be better presented as prose. See {{Table to prose}}. I would have tagged the section only the article is locked. -- 109.79.190.28 (talk) 08:16, 22 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The second to last sentence in the third intro paragraph has a typo - it currently reads "The film grossed $239.3 million worldwide on a $50 million, despite receiving [...]" when it should probably say "on a $50 million budget" (or something like that).
