Both DisneyToon Studios’ Planes and DreamWorks Animation’s Turbo are receiving praise following recent test screenings. At WDW Magic, regular forum member “M.rudolf” writes that Planes is testing “thru [sic] the roof,” better than the Cars movies and Wreck-It Ralph. This news likely explains why Planes was promoted to a theatrical release after being made as a direct-to-video title. Meanwhile, a poster at IMDb suggests DreamWorks has another feel-good hit on their hands, with Turbo. “It’s very funny with the same Dreamworks type humor that adults can enjoy as well,” he writes. “Did it change the face of animation? No, but it’s still a fun movie and the animation does look good.” Turbo will race into theaters on July 19, with Planes close behind on August 9.
