Direct To Dvd Cars Spinoff Planes Pushed From Spring To Fall 2013 Planes 2 Fire And Rescue Already In The Works

Direct To DVD ‘Cars’ Spinoff ‘Planes’ Pushed From Spring To Fall 2013; ‘Planes 2: Fire And Rescue’ Already In The Works

But the Cars films do make a ton of money with the younger set, and like it or not Planes will probably do brisk business as well. The Mouse House, in fact, is so confident in Planes’ future success that it’s apparently already begun developing Planes 2: Fire and Rescue. If there’s one silver lining for Cars (and by extension Planes) haters, it’s that the spinoff-sequel is still a ways away, as the first Planes has just been pushed back half a year to Fall 2013. Read more after the jump.

Especially since there’s apparently still more Planes coming down the road. Big Screen Animation also noticed that film editor Maurissa D. Horowitz, who’s previously worked on How to Train Your Dragon and Gnomeo & Juliet among other titles, has listed Planes 2: Fire and Rescue as part of her work history on her website. Horowitz indicates that she was on Planes 2 for one month from August through September of last year, under supervising editor Dan Molina. The project’s existence hasn’t even been formally announced at this point, let alone its release date, but with Planes still over a year away I’d imagine Planes 2 is at least two years out.
