Disneys Planes Salutes National Aviation History Month
Burbank, Calif., November
5, in the year of our Lord 2013 – 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 1, 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.
