Planes: Fire & Rescue

Planes: Fire & Rescue (2014) is a Disney family animated feature you can watch online on iFILM. Champion racer Dusty Crophopper discovers his engine is damaged beyond repair, and his days of speed competition look finished.

Rather than ground himself, Dusty retrains as an aerial firefighter. Veteran rescue helicopter Blade Ranger takes him on, backed by a crew of off-road vehicles called the Smokejumpers. Together they face down a wildfire tearing through a national park, and Dusty starts to grasp what it really costs to save lives. The voice cast includes Dane Cook as Dusty, Ed Harris as the gruff Blade Ranger, and Julie Bowen.

This sequel keeps things brisk at 83 minutes, with bright water-drop set pieces and a plain lesson about everyday heroism that younger kids follow easily. A solid pick for a family movie night with little ones. Stream Planes: Fire & Rescue (2014) online on iFILM.
