August's animated feature "Planes" is kind of an odd duck. The world of "Planes" was introduced in a "Cars"-based Pixar short film called "Air Mater," which literally ends with tow truck Tow Mater (Larry the Cable Guy) looking into the camera and saying something like, "Boy, someone should make a movie based on this." (The short and feature also share at least one character.) The movie has a number of Pixar hallmarks (including a cameo from John Ratzenberger and a executive producer credit for Pixar bigwig John Lasseter), and is being advertised as "From the World Above 'Cars,'" but the Pixar name is nowhere to be found on the finished film, and DisneyToon Studios handled the animation duties, which are stylistically incredibly similar to the work Pixar did on "Cars." As you can see, it's all very confusing. But hey! There's a new clip! And it at least establishes that "Planes" is going to be very, very pretty. And maybe a little offensive.The plot of "Planes" concerns Dusty...
