Movie Release Date:December 25, 2012
DVD Release Date:March 22, 2013

More from Disney's Next Release: Planes
[iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/HjcPOZ_z3Ts"] This video, featuring music by the film's composer, Mark Mancina, is much more appealing than the trailer.  I'm beginning to look forward to it.  And do we get a hint that train and boat movies may follow?
