The first teaser for Cars spinoff Planes has taken off on YouTube. Watch—
I've got to say, it looks pretty good. At the least, it'll doubtless have huge appeal to younger audiences.
As previously reported, Planes is being produced at DisneyToon Studios in Glendale and will not be branded as "Disney•Pixar". Notice that only Disney is named in the trailer.
Peter Sciretta over at /Film writes that he's "sure Pixar wants no credit what-so-ever." Sure, Pixar appears to want to keep their studio identity special, but it's more complex than that.
To begin with, Cars and Cars 2 director John Lasseter (and franchise guardian Jay Ward) must realize that Planes will reflect on Cars no matter how its billed.
More importantly, the film just isn't being made at Pixar, but by a different group of artists. Why would Pixar be credited with making it?
Planes lands direct-to-video in Spring 2013.

HECK YES!
Heck yes about what?
I have a friend who's going to be storyboarding for this.
Well, HECK YES, MIKE! Hehehe I don't really know what Jez is talking about, but WHAT THE HECK?! The video is gone! Why is that, Mike?
And now its gone... They've all been pulled down.
Oh, nevermind, i found it here: http://www.movieweb.com/movie/planes/trailer
I have to say it looks so not-Pixar... Yet it might be cool for the young ones and I can imagine all the Planes merchandise that will be available when this comes out.
What puzzles me is why is this coming until 2013? Is it because there's some excellent story development going on at Burbank? :o

"This video has been removed by the user." :(
I guess I'll try to find it somewhere else. If I find a copy before you, I'll post a link here.
Oh, naturally, Stitch Kingdom has it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XGYAKMXzIY
I'd have to agree with Jez.

Hmmmm....

The video has been removed...
The user removed the video
Sorry about that guys. Stepped away for a bit. I've embedded another YouTube upload.
yet again i seem to have been proved wrong about planes...this has happrned alot latley...
This is an overdose of clever.
C'mon! Embed the Stitch Kingdom copy of the trailer! I saw it and thought it was great.
I did, but Disney had it pulled too.
Well, then where the heck can we find it? Why doesn't Disney want it circulating the 'net yet if it's finished? Are they waiting until a specific date related to the release date of Cars 2 to put it on their "Disney Living" channel?
The voice of the main prop plane isn't Dave Foley, is it? I know Pixar reuses voice actors for some rolls, but wouldn't that be pretty confusing with Flik?
